ʿUbayd ibn ʿUmayr and Umm Salamah

Historical Examples of Muʿanʿan Transmission and the Conclusion of Muslim’s Introduction

وَأَسْنَدَ عُبَيْدُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدِيثًا، وَعُبَيْدُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ وُلِدَ فِي زَمَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
Translation: ʿUbayd ibn ʿUmayr narrates one Prophetic hadith through Umm Salamah; he was born during the Prophet’s lifetime.

His birth date establishes a chronological possibility, not an assertion that he saw the Prophet or explicitly heard this specific narration from Umm Salamah.
