Abū Yaʿlá, and the first, narrates from Ḥammād ibn Salamah, and the other from Ḥammād ibn Zayd, and each of the two Ḥammāds narrates from ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿUmar. Therefore, it was not clear to me which one is intended here, but there is no harm in that, as both are trustworthy. However, the first was cited by Muslim, and the other by the two Shaykhs [al-Bukhārī and Muslim]. The ḥadīth is in "the two Ṣaḥīḥs" without mentioning the aspect, and that is why I included it. It is an explanatory addition that does not contradict the narration of the two Ṣaḥīḥs, so it is accepted. It is clear evidence that a woman's face is not ʿawrah. The evidence for this is abundant. The meaning of it not being ʿawrah is that it is permissible to uncover it, although it is better and more pious to cover it, especially if it is beautiful. However, if it is adorned, it must be covered without dispute. For those who wish to explore this summary in detail, they should refer to our book "Ḥijāb al-Marʾah al-Muslimah," as it is comprehensive and thorough.

Whoever leaves any of that has left a portion of Islam, and whoever leaves all of them has turned his back on Islam." It was narrated by Abū ʿUbayd al-Qāsim ibn Sallām in "Kitāb al-Īmān" (ḥadīth number 3 in my verification). He said: Yaḥyá ibn Saʿīd al-ʿAṭṭār narrated to me from Thawr ibn Yazīd from Khālid ibn Maʿdān from a man from Abū Hurayrah from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam). Through the route of Abū ʿUbayd, it was also narrated by Ibn Bishrān in "al-Amālī" (folio 98/2) and ʿAbd al-Ghanī al-Maqdisī in "al-Amr bil-Maʿrūf wa-n-Nahy ʿan..
