فَرَوَاهَا بِعَيْنِهَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
Translation: Mālik ibn Anas related this very report from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUrwah, from ʿAmrah, from ʿĀʾishah, **from the Prophet, peace be upon him**.
Shorter chain: ʿUrwah → ʿĀʾishah → Prophet ﷺ
Longer chain: ʿUrwah → ʿAmrah → ʿĀʾishah → Prophet ﷺ
Muslim uses this to illustrate possible intermediate transmission, not to assert a proven break or a necessary verdict against either route.
