from the Mother of the Believers, Umm Salamah, who said: "I asked the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) about those who were transformed, whether they have offspring. He said: No one who was transformed ever had offspring or descendants." Narrated by Abū Yaʿlá (318/2) and al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Kabīr" (23/325/746). And Layth—who is Ibn Abī Sulaym—had become confused.
