Miscellaneous by Al-Albani-249

The Shaykh : Then the questioner said, "Another chain." Ibn al-Mundhir said: Isحاق ibn Ibrahim narrated to us from 'Abd al-Razzaq from Qays ibn Rabi' from Abu Husayn from Abu 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami, who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "Do not be excessive in the bridal gifts of women." A woman said, "That is not for you, O 'Umar." 'Umar said, "A woman argued with 'Umar and she refuted him." Is this story authentic?
The answer: In the first chain, we know that Majdala ibn Sa'id is present. This chain has two or three defects. The first defect is that Isحاق ibn Ibrahim, who narrated this story from 'Abd al-Razzaq, is Isحاق ibn Ibrahim al-Dabari. He was criticized first regarding his memory, and second regarding the validity of his hearing from 'Abd al-Razzaq, the author of the Musannaf, because he heard from him when he was very young. I think, though I am not certain, that he was five years old. So there is this criticism of Isحاق ibn Ibrahim, the narrator of this concise story from 'Abd al-Razzaq. But the stronger and clearer defect is in Qays ibn Rabi'. Qays ibn Rabi' is known for having a poor memory and being weak in hadith. Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) allowed himself, despite being the Imam, the memorizer, and the critic, to declare any hadith that Qays ibn Rabi' narrated alone as a denounced narration (munkar). He would say of a hadith narrated by Qays ibn Rabi', "It is a denounced narration." A famous example of this, well-known to you all and recorded in many books of adab and moving stories, is their saying: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is a denounced narration containing Qays ibn Rabi'. So it is not an authentic hadith. Thus, Qays ibn Rabi' is the prominent defect in this other chain. I also mentioned a third defect, though I am not certain of it: from Abu 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami, who said, "'Umar said." Abu 'Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami is a trustworthy scholar, one of the great scholars of the Tabi'un and their trustworthy narrators. But I am now doubtful whether he heard from 'Umar. It is well known that he heard from 'Ali, and he has many authentic hadiths from 'Ali. But whether he met 'Umar and heard from him is something I do not know. His biography should be reviewed to clarify the truth. However, I note here his wording: "He said, 'Umar said." This is a form of suspension (ta'liq) and a form of omission (irsal). "He said, 'Umar said" indicates to the student of this science that there is a break between Abu 'Abd al-Rahman and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab.
In summary, the second chain is also a weak and denounced chain. The matter becomes more denounced by what we explained above, namely that the authentic hadith does not contain this story.
