LessonsThe Meeting Condition in Muʿanʿan Hadith: Muslim’s Rejoinder and Route ComparisonQuiz

فَرَوَى هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةَ بِعَيْنِهَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَدَاوُدُ الْعَطَّارُ وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ وَوُهَيْبُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
Translation: Al-Layth ibn Saʿd, Dāwūd al-ʿAṭṭār, Ḥumayd ibn al-Aswad, Wuhayb ibn Khālid and Abū Usāmah transmitted this very report from Hishām, who said: “ʿUthmān ibn ʿUrwah informed me,” reporting from ʿUrwah, from ʿĀʾishah, **from the Prophet, peace be upon him**.

Shorter route: Hishām → ʿUrwah → ʿĀʾishah → Prophet ﷺ
Longer route: Hishām → ʿUthmān ibn ʿUrwah → ʿUrwah → ʿĀʾishah → Prophet ﷺ

Both retain the final Prophetic attribution. The added transmitter must be studied on the evidence; it is not a self-executing verdict on either route.
