٢١۔٢٦ باب مَا جَاءَ فِي أَمَانِ الْعَبْدِ وَالْمَرْأَةِ

tirmidhi:1579aYaḥyá b. Aktham > ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Abū Ḥāzim > Kathīr b. Zayd > al-Walīd b. Rabāḥ > Abū Hurayrah

That the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed a woman grants (assurances of protection) to a people" - meaning it is to be honored - "from the Muslims." There is something on this topic from Umm Hani, and this Hadith is Hasan Gharib. I asked Muhammad and he said: "This Hadith is Sahih. Kathir bin Ziad heard from Al-Walid bin Rabah, and Al-Walid bin Rabah heard from Abu Hurairah, and he is Muqarib (average) in Hadith.  

الترمذي:١٥٧٩aحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَكْثَمَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ لَتَأْخُذُ لِلْقَوْمِ يَعْنِي تُجِيرُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ وَسَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدًا فَقَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ وَكَثِيرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَدْ سَمِعَ مِنَ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ وَالْوَلِيدُ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ سَمِعَ مِنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَهُوَ مُقَارِبُ الْحَدِيثِ  

tirmidhi:1579bAbū al-Walīd al-Dimashqī > al-Walīd b. Muslim > Ibn Abū Dhiʾb > Saʿīd al-Maqburī > Abū Murrah a freed slave of ʿAqīl b. Abū Ṭālib > Um Hāniʾ > Ajart a manayn from Aḥmāʾī

"I granted asylum for two men among my brother-in-laws. So the Messeneger of Allah ﷺ said: 'We grant security to whomever you have granted security.'"  

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. They permit assurance of protection by a women. This is the view of Ahmad and Ishaq. They permitted the asylum of a woman and slave It has been related from other routes from 'Umar bin Al-Khattab that he permitted the asylum granted by a slave. One of the narrators of this last narration Abu Murrah is the freed slave of 'Aqil bin Abi Talib - they also say that he was freed slave of Umm Hani' - and his name was Yazid. It has been related from 'Ali bin Abi Talib and 'Abdullah bin 'Amr that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The covenants of the Muslims are one, it covers the rest of them." [Abu 'Eisa said:] According to the people of knowledge, the meaning of this Hadith is that whoever gives assurance of protection among the Muslims, then it is valis to all of them.
