What is the degree of authenticity of the hadith regarding female circumcision (Do not be excessive, for that is more desirable for the woman and more beloved to the husband)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, Shaykh, in the hadith of 'Umar, a circumciser circumcised [a woman], and he said:
Leave something of it when you cut أبْقِ منه شيئًا إذا خفضت
, and in another wording:
Do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband. لا تنهكي ؛ فإن ذلك أحظى للمرأة ، وأحبُّ إلى البعل
Sunan Abi Dawud 5271Sahih (Al-Albani)
. Abu Dawud narrated it in "Al-Adab," in the chapter: What has come regarding circumcision, and he said: Muhammad ibn Hassan is unknown.

The Shaykh : It is a strong hadith.

The questioner : What is the degree of authenticity of this narration from 'Umar?

The Shaykh : It is a strong hadith through its various chains.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Did you understand me?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : And the presence of an unknown narrator in some of its chains does not harm you.

The questioner : Because I imagine, Shaykh, that you mentioned it in "Tammam al-Mannah," and Allah knows best.

The Shaykh : It is found in "Sahih al-Jami'."

The questioner : Yes.
