5271. It was narrated from Muḥammad bin Ḥassān - 'Abdul-Waḥhāb (one of the narrators) said: Al-Kūfī - from 'Abdul-Malik bin 'Umair, from Umm 'Atīyyah Al-Anṣāriyyah, that a woman used to circumcise females in Al-Madīnah, and the Prophet ﷺ said to her: "Do not go to extremes in cutting, for that is better for the woman and more liked by the husband." (Da'if) Abū Dāwūd said: A similar report was related from 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Amr from 'Abdul-Malik with this chain. Abū Dāwūd said: This is not strong; it has been related in a Mursal form. Abū Dāwūd said: Muḥammad bin Ḥassān is unknown, and this Hadīth is weak.

5271 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، وَعَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الْكُوفِيُّ: عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً كَانَتْ تَخْتِنُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَنْهِكِي فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَحْظَى لِلْمَرْأَةِ، وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى الْبَعْلِ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رُوِيَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، بِمَعْنَاهُ وَإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «لَيْسَ هُوَ بِالْقَوِيِّ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مُرْسَلًا» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ مَجْهُولٌ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ ضَعِيفٌ
