It was transmitted by Ibn Saʿd through ʿAbd Allah ibn Jaʿfar al-Raqqī, from ʿUbayd Allah ibn ʿAmr, from him.

Ibn Saʿd further states: ʿAbd Allah ibn Jaʿfar informed us, ʿUbayd Allah narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-Karīm, from al-Barāʾ ibn Zayd, that the Prophet ﷺ once lay down (1) in the house of Umm Sulaym on a leather mat. He perspired, and when he awoke she was wiping up the sweat, so he asked, “What are you doing?”
