- "Women are not required to shave, only to trim." It was recorded by Abū Zurʿah in "Tārīkh Dimashq" (p. 88/1): Yaḥyá ibn Maʿīn told me, saying: Hishām ibn Yūsuf narrated to us from Ibn Jurayj from ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn Jubayr ibn Shaybah, who said: He informed him from Ṣafiyyah bint Shaybah, who said: Umm ʿUthmān bint Abī Sufyān informed me from Ibn ʿAbbās as a marfūʿ ḥadīth, and he said: "No one has transmitted this ḥadīth except Hishām ibn Yūsuf, and no one has narrated it except Yaḥyá ibn Maʿīn." Thus he said. This is according to his knowledge, otherwise Ibn Maʿīn was followed up, as Abū Dāwūd said in "Sunan" (1985): Abū Yaʿqūb al-Baghdādī - trustworthy - narrated to us, saying: Hishām ibn Yūsuf narrated it. And this Abū Yaʿqūb is Isḥāq ibn Abī Isrāʾīl: Ibrāhīm ibn Kāmjarā al-Marwazī, and he is trustworthy as Abū Dāwūd and others said. Some criticized him for his stance on the Qurʾān, but this does not harm his narration as established in "Muṣṭalaḥ," contrary to what al-Zaylaʿī transmitted from Ibn al-Qaṭṭān about him, especially since Ibn Maʿīn followed him as you have seen. From this chain, it was also recorded by al-Mukhliṣ in "Juzʾ Muntaqá min al-Juzʾ al-Rābiʿ min Ḥadīthih" (p. 88/1): ʿAbd Allāh - meaning al-Baghawī - narrated to us, saying: Isḥāq ibn Abī Isrāʾīl narrated to us, saying: Hishām ibn Yūsuf narrated it, except that he said: from Ibn Jurayj, who informed me, ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn Jubayr narrated it. Thus, Ibn Jurayj explicitly stated the narration. This is an important benefit. He was followed up on this as will be shown, and it was also recorded by al-Dāraqutnī in "Sunan" (p. 277) with the isnād and context of al-Mukhliṣ. It was also recorded by al-Dārimī in "Sunan," who said (2/64): ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Madīnī informed us, saying: Hishām ibn Yūsuf narrated it, explicitly stating Ibn Jurayj narrated it
