10 – “Whoever among you remains in her home will attain the reward of those who strive in Allah’s cause.” (p. 248)
al-Daʿīfa (2744)

These are samples of the weak and fabricated reports with which al-Tuwijrī has blackened his book; they are but a few out of many, as I noted earlier, and other examples have already been mentioned.

Here is another illustration of a different sort. He tries to shore up a narration from Qays ibn Zayd, citing it as evidence for the legitimacy of women concealing themselves from men—something over which, contrary to the impression he gives his readers, there is no dispute. The report states that Ḥafṣah covered herself after the Prophet ﷺ divorced her. The shaykh (pp. 182–183), may Allah guide and teach him, writes:

“It was transmitted by al-Ṭabarānī; al-Haythamī said: ‘Its transmitters are the transmitters of the Sahih.’ I add: Ibn Saʿd and al-Ḥārith ibn Abī Usāmah also narrated it through sound chains. The report, however, is mursal according to the correct view, and it has a corroborating narration from Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, recorded by al-Ḥākim and others.”

I say: This is the shaykh’s documentation, and even in this brief form it contains some astonishing blemishes. [77]
