and both are Basran female Successors who narrate from Aishah. If they are in fact one and the same person, then the hadith is authentic—especially since the phrase “glass vessels” in it is authentic, for it has corroborating evidence in the hadith of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him. Ahmad said (3/206):

“Ruh narrated to us: Zurārah ibn Abi al-Hilal al-Ataki narrated to us. He said: I heard Anas ibn Malik relate that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘O Anjashah! Enough with your driving of the glass vessels!’”

I say: Its chain is an authentic three-narrator chain, continuous through explicit hearing. Ruh—who is Ibn Ubadah—is trustworthy and among the narrators of the two Sahihs. Zurārah was declared trustworthy by Ibn Hibban and Ibn Khalfun, and a number of other trustworthy narrators also narrated from him, as stated in al-Ta‘jil.

Humayd also corroborated him in the narration of al-Harith—as cited in al-Fath (10/544)—where it is mentioned that the meaning of “enough” is: “That is sufficient.”

It has other chains from Anas conveying the same meaning in the two Sahihs and elsewhere. I have cited some of them in the other series under hadith 6059.

Note: Earlier, while discussing the biography of Shumaysah al-Atakiyyah, I cited al-Jarh wa-al-Ta‘dil to show that it was Ibn Ma‘in who declared her trustworthy. This accords with what is found in the section of Yazid ibn al-Haytham, as noted above. Therefore, the statement of Shaykh al-Jilani in Sharh al-Adab al-Mufrad (1/236), “Ibn Adi declared her trustworthy (Kitab al-Jarh wa-al-Ta‘dil, the manuscript copy held by the Dairat al-Maarif in Hyderabad, Deccan),”

in which he says, “Ibn Adi,” is a corruption of “Ibn Ma‘in.” I do not know whether this originated in the manuscript, in the person quoting from it, or with the printer. In any case, it is undoubtedly an error, for the reasons stated above and because Ibn Abi Hatim
