a second witness: from Ibn ʿUmar, raised [to the Prophet] with it. It was recorded by al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn al-Muẓaffar in "Ḥadīth Ḥājib ibn Arkin" (1/254/2) from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Zayd ibn Aslam from his father from him. I said: This isnād is very weak, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Zayd is accused, and he has other ḥadīths. It was also recorded by Ibn Abī Shaybah in "al-Muṣannaf" (7/72/1) with a sound isnād from ʿĀṣim who said: ʿUmar said it, mentioning it as his statement, and perhaps this is correct. a third witness: from Bishr ibn ʿĀṣim from his father from his grandfather, raised with the wording: "Adhere to young women, for they have sweeter mouths, more fertile wombs, and are more passionate in affection." It was recorded by al-Shīrāzī in "al-Alqāb" as in "al-Jāmiʿ al-Ṣaghīr," and al-Munāwī did not comment on its isnād in his explanation!

If the isnād to him is authentic, it is a good isnād, but I do not see it as authentic. However, it can be said that the ḥadīth is ḥasan due to the combination of these paths, as some of them are not severely weak. And Allāh knows best. Then I became certain of this when I saw the ḥadīth in "Kitāb al-Sunan" by Saʿīd ibn Manṣūr (512, 513, 514) from ʿAmr ibn ʿUthmān and Makhūl, mursal
