All of this is said only on the assumption that the ḥadith were authentic; yet you have already seen that they are weak, and therefore no proof can be built on them in the first place.
Refuting the ḥadiths by citing ʿĀʾishah’s practice—and the response
- One of the strangest objections raised against these sound narrations is what some overly partisan Ḥanafīs claim: “ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her) used to wear gold rings, as her nephew al-Qāsim ibn Muḥammad saw and reported, and this report from ʿĀʾishah was recorded by al-Bukhārī in his Ṣaḥīḥ.”
I reply: To attribute this report to al-Bukhārī without qualification is questionable, for scholars understand an unqualified citation of al-Bukhārī to mean that the report appears with a connected isnād in his Ṣaḥīḥ. That is not the case here: he cites it only in suspended form (muʿallaq), without a chain. Ibn Ḥajar notes in Fatḥ al-Bārī 10/271 that Ibn Saʿd supplied the isnād in al-Ṭabaqāt, though he offered no judgment on it. In my view the chain is sound, for Ibn Saʿd 8/48 states: “ʿAbdullāh ibn Maslama ibn Qaʿnab informed us; ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Muḥammad narrated to us from ʿAmr ibn Abī…”
