حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ زَادَ فِيهِ قَالَ فَإِنْ بَکَتْ أَوْ سَکَتَتْ زَادَ بَکَتْ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَلَيْسَ بَکَتْ بِمَحْفُوظٍ وَهُوَ وَهْمٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ الْوَهْمُ مِنْ ابْنِ إِدْرِيسَ أَوْ مِنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْعَلَائِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو عَمْرٍو ذَکْوَانُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْبِکْرَ تَسْتَحِي أَنْ تَتَکَلَّمَ قَالَ سُکَاتُهَا إِقْرَارُهَا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2094
The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted through a different chain of narrators by Muhammad bin Amr. This version adds “If she weeps or keeps silence”. The narrator added the word “weeps”. Abu Dawud said: The word "weeps" is not guarded. This is a misunderstanding of the tradition on the part of the narrator Ibn Idris or Muhammad bin al-Ata. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been narrated by Abu Amr Dhakwan on the authority of Aishah who said: A virgin is ashamed of speaking, Messenger of Allah. He said: Her silence is her acceptance.
