(Note): The complete chain of transmission in "al-Muʿjam" is as follows: "Mūsá ibn Hārūn narrated to us: Saʿd ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥakam narrated to us: My father narrated to us..." etc. In the printed version of "Majmaʿ al-Baḥrayn" (3/378), (Saʿd ibn) was omitted from the chain, and the editor left a blank space in its place! This is strange; for he referred to the original source, indicating the volume and page, from which I have quoted, and it appears to me that he was unable to read the name (Saʿd); as it is not very clear in the original—which is a photocopy—and if that is the case, he should have sought assistance from the biography of his father; for he would find that among those who narrated from him is this son, and since he did not do so; why did he omit the relational term: (ibn) which is apparent?!! The mentioned exception in this path has support from the mursal of Ṭāriq ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Qurashī who said: Rafāʿah ibn Rāfiʿ came to the assembly of the Anṣār and said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) forbade us today... He mentioned some things and said: He forbade us from the earnings of a slave woman except what she does with her hands—and he gestured like this with his finger—such as spinning, baking, and embroidery." It was recorded by Abū Dāwūd (3426), and al-Bayhaqī. I say: It is a mursal with a good chain of transmission, which strengthens the exception in the connected ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah, especially since it has also been reported in a connected form through the route of Ibn Abī Fudayk from ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Ḥurayr from his father from his grandfather Rāfiʿ ibn Khadīj who said: "The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) forbade the earnings of a slave woman until it is known from where it comes?" It was also recorded by Abū Dāwūd (3427), al-Bayhaqī, and likewise by al-Ḥākim (2/42) as a supporting evidence
