[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The waist of a believer is down to the middle of his legs." Abu 'Abd al-Rahman said, "And this hadith is incorrect, meaning the hadith of Fuleih, and Fuleih ibn Sulaiman is not strong, and his brother Abdul Hamid is weaker than Fuleih."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٩٦٣٠أَخْبَرَنِي هِلَالُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَافَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْمَدَنِيُّ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِزْرَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِلَى أَنْصَافِ سَاقَيْهِ » وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ خَطَأٌ يَعْنِي حَدِيثَ فُلَيْحٍ وَفُلَيْحُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ وَأَخُوهُ عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ أَضْعَفُ مِنْ فُلَيْحٍ
