I said: It is a good ḥadīth. Al-Nasāʾī said: It is not strong. Mūsá ibn Isḥāq said: Trustworthy. Ibn Ḥibbān mentioned him in "al-Thiqāt". Ibn Abī Ḥātim did not report in his book (1/1/148) anything other than Mūsá's authentication of him. Al-Ḥāfiẓ said: "Truthful but with some weakness." Al-Suyūṭī cited the ḥadīth from Ibn ʿUmar with the wording: "If two people are conversing privately, do not join them." He said: "It was narrated by Ibn ʿAsākir." Al-Munāwī did not comment on its isnād except that he hinted at its strengthening by saying: "It has supporting evidence."

- "The best mosques for women are their homes." Narrated by Aḥmad (6/301), ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Naṣr al-Dimashqī in "al-Fawāʾid" (1/221/2), Ibn Khuzaymah number (1684), al-Ḥākim (1/209), and al-Qaḍāʿī (102/1) through the route of ʿAmr ibn al-Ḥārith from Dirāj Abū al-Samḥ from Abū al-Sāʾib, the client of Banū Zuhrah, from Umm Salamah as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. I said: This isnād is weak due to Dirāj Abū al-Samḥ, as he is weak because of his many rejected narrations. Abū al-Sāʾib, the client of Banū Zuhrah, is said to be named ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Sāʾib, trustworthy among Muslim's men. The ḥadīth is supported by the forthcoming ḥadīth of Ibn ʿUmar. (Note): Al-Mundhirī mentioned in "al-Targhīb" (1/125) that al-Ḥākim said about this ḥadīth: "Its isnād is authentic." I did not see this in my printed copy of "al-Mustadrak", but he explicitly stated that he mentioned it as supporting evidence for the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿUmar with the wording: "Do not prevent your women from [going to] the mosques, and their homes are better for them." It is recorded in "Ṣaḥīḥ Abū Dāwūd" (576).
