It falls into several divisions.

First — when the narrator merely says “a man” or “a woman.” Ibn ʿAbbās relates that a man once asked, “Messenger of Allah, must the pilgrimage be performed every year?” That man was al-Aqraʿ ibn Ḥābis. In the report of the woman who asked about washing after menstruation and the Prophet ﷺ instructed her, “Take a piece of cloth,” the woman was Asmāʾ bint Yazīd bint al-Sakan; in another version related by Muslim she is called Asmāʾ bint Shakal.

Second — when only “the son” or “the daughter” is mentioned. Umm ʿAṭiyyah’s narration concerning the washing of the Prophet’s daughter with water and lotus leaves refers to Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her). “Ibn al-Lutbiyyah” was ʿAbd Allah of Banū Lutb, with the tāʾ left silent; some read al-ʿUtaybah, but that is unsound. “Ibn Umm Maktūm” was ʿAbd Allah—some say ʿAmr, others give a different name—while his mother was ʿĀtikah.

Third — when the report names “the uncle” or “the aunt.” The uncle mentioned by Rāfiʿ ibn Khadīj was Ẓuḥayr ibn Rāfiʿ. The uncle of Ziyād ibn ʿIlāqah was Qutbah ibn Mālik. Jābir’s aunt, who wept for his father on the day of Uḥud, was Fāṭimah bint ʿAmr; some, however, say she was Hind.

Fourth — when the reference is to “the husband” or “the wife.” Subayʿah’s husband was Saʿd ibn Khawlah. The husband of Burūʿ—pronounced with fatḥa, though the hadith scholars read it with kasra—was Hilāl ibn Murrah.

And Allah knows best.
