1- Some people have narrated it with the chain of «حماد بن سلمة عن علي بن زيد عن الحسن عن أمه عن أم سلمة»,
2- In this hadith, women are permitted to let their lower garment (sheet) drag, because it provides them with greater covering.

The recommended (mustahabb) state is that the lower garment (izaar) be raised up to the middle of the shin.
And the permissible (ja'iz) state is that it be up to the ankles (above them).
Similarly, there are two states for women as well.

And the permissible (ja'iz) state is one hand, that is, two spans more than the permissible state for men. (Fath al-Bari: 10/320)
