حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ وَعَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَامُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الْكُوفِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً كَانَتْ تَخْتِنُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تُنْهِكِي،‏‏‏‏ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَحْظَى لِلْمَرْأَةِ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى الْبَعْلِ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أبو داود:‏‏‏‏ رُوِيَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بِمَعْنَاهُ وَإِسْنَادِهِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أبو داود:‏‏‏‏ لَيْسَ هُوَ بِالْقَوِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مُرْسَلًا،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أبو داود:‏‏‏‏ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ مَجْهُولٌ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ ضَعِيفٌ.

A woman used to perform circumcision in Madina. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم 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 bin 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 bin Hasan is obscure, and this tradition is weak.
