And al-Dhahabi critiqued him, saying:

“I say: Neither of the two Shaykhs narrated from Abu ʿAshanah.”

I say: His name was Hayy ibn Yuʾmin, and he was trustworthy.

Al-Sindi said in his marginal notes on al-Nasaʾi:

“Regarding the phrase, ‘his household [from wearing] jewelry’: ḥilyah (jewelry) is vocalized with a kasrah followed by a sukūn. Its apparent meaning is that he forbade his wives from wearing jewelry altogether, whether of gold or silver. Perhaps this was particular to them, so that they would prefer the Hereafter to this world. The same applies to silk. It is also possible that ‘household’ here means the male members of the household, in which case the matter is clear.”

I say: This possibility is far-fetched and not the apparent meaning. Therefore, reliance is to be placed on what he mentioned first. And Allah knows best.

I say: Thus, this hadith indicates, just as the well-known hadith cited shortly before does, that silk is permissible for all other women. It may nevertheless be said that it is preferable for them to refrain from it, and from jewelry altogether, in emulation of his wives, may Allah bless him and grant him peace—especially since it is authentically established that he said:

“Woe to women because of the two red things: gold and safflower-dyed clothing.”

339 — “Woe to women because of the two red things: gold and safflower-dyed clothing.”

Ibn Hibban (1464) transmitted it: Al-Hasan ibn Sufyan informed us; Surayj ibn Yunus related to us; ʿAbbad ibn ʿAbbad related to us, from Muhammad ibn ʿAmr, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who said this.

Al-Bayhaqi also transmitted it in Shuʿab al-Iman (2/230/2, Maktab al-Islami facsimile edition), through the route of Abu Hatim al-Razi, who related to us from Surayj ibn Yunus through the same chain.

I say: This is a good chain of transmission. All its narrators are trustworthy narrators of the two Shaykhs, apart from al-Hasan ibn Sufyan al-Fasawi, who was a trustworthy, well-known hadith memorizer.

Muhammad ibn ʿAmr was Ibn ʿAlqamah. Al-Bukhari narrated from him in conjunction with another narrator, and Muslim cited him in corroboration.

As for al-Manawi’s statement in Fayd al-Qadir, after attributing it—following his source—to al-Bayhaqi in
