al-Dāraqutnī also narrated it from Abū Bakr ibn ʿAyyāsh from Ibn ʿAṭāʾ, meaning Yaʿqūb, from Ṣafiyyah bint Shaybah with it. This Yaʿqūb is weak, but from the first chain it is authentic except that Umm ʿUthmān bint Abī Sufyān, as Ibn al-Qaṭṭān said: "Her condition is unknown," as al-Zaylaʿī reported from him, and this weakened the ḥadīth. However, al-Ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Taqrīb": "Umm ʿUthmān bint Sufyān or Abī Sufyān, she is the mother of Shaybah ibn ʿUthmān, she has companionship and a ḥadīth." Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr mentioned her in "al-Istīʿāb fī Maʿrifat al-Aṣḥāb" and said: "She was among those who pledged allegiance, Ṣafiyyah bint Shaybah narrated from her, and ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masāfiʿ narrated from his mother about her." I say: If her companionship is established, then her unknown status is removed, because all the Companions are considered trustworthy as established in "ʿIlm al-Uṣūl." Thus, the ḥadīth is authentic, and all praise is due to Allāh through whom righteous deeds are completed.

He took my hand and pulled me, placing me beside him. When the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) turned to his prayer, I moved back. The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) prayed, and when he finished, he said to me: and he mentioned it. I said: O Messenger of Allāh, is it appropriate for anyone to pray beside you while you are..
