حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ تَرَکْنَا هَذَا الْبَابَ لِلنِّسَائِ قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ مِنْهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ حَتَّی مَاتَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد رَوَاهُ إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 571
Ibn Umar reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: if we reserve this door for women (it would be better). Nafi said: Ibn Umar did not enter through it ( the door) till he died. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated though a different chain of transmitters by Umar. And this is more correct.
