Commentary:
Note:
(The last portion of this narration ((أَنَا الرَّسُولَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمَا)) “I was the messenger between them,” is weak because in the stronger narration it is stated that “Abbas radi Allahu anhu” arranged this marriage. Its narrator, “Matar al-Warraq,” is weak in memory. The fact that this narration is mursal is more correct. Its first portion is authentic through the chain of Hadith number: 845.)
