A woman used to perform circumcision in Medina. The Prophet ﷺ said to her: Do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband. Abu Dawud said: It has been transmitted by 'Ubaid Allah b. 'Amr from 'Abd al-Malik to the same effect through a different chain. Abu Dawud said: It is not a strong tradition. It has been transmitted in mursal form (missing the link of the Companions) Abu Dawud said: Muhammad b. Hasan is obscure, and this tradition is weak. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5271)
"إذا ختَنْتِ فلا تَنْهَكِى، فإِن ذلك أحظى للمرأة؛ وأحَبُّ إلى البَعْلِ".
