Jami` at-Tirmidhi: Book 21, Hadith 59
Ibn Al-Munkadir heard Umaimah bin Ruqaiqah saying: “I pledged to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) along with some women. He said to us: ‘In as much as you are able and capable.’ I said: ‘Allah and His Messenger are more merciful to us than we are to ourselves,’ then I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah take the pledge from us.'” – Sufyan (one of the narrators) said: meaning: ‘shake (hands) on it with us’ – “so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘My statement to one hundred women is like my statement to one.'”
There are narrations on this topic from ‘Aishah, from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar, and Asma’ bint Yazid.
This Hadith is Hasan Sahih, we do not know of it except as a narration of Muhammad bin Al-Munkadir.
Sufyan Ath-Thawri, Malik bin Anas, and others reported this Hadith from Muhammad bin Al-Munkadir similarly. He said: I asked Muhammad about this Hadith and he said: “I am not aware of a Hadith other than this from Umaimah bint Ruqaiqah.” There is another woman named Umaimah who narrated from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، سَمِعَ أُمَيْمَةَ بِنْتَ رُقَيْقَةَ، تَقُولُ بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي نِسْوَةٍ فَقَالَ لَنَا ” فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُنَّ وَأَطَقْتُنَّ ” . قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَرْحَمُ بِنَا مِنَّا بِأَنْفُسِنَا . قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَايِعْنَا . قَالَ سُفْيَانُ تَعْنِي صَافِحْنَا . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” إِنَّمَا قَوْلِي لِمِائَةِ امْرَأَةٍ كَقَوْلِي لاِمْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ” . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ . وَرَوَى سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَمَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ نَحْوَهُ . قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدًا عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ لاَ أَعْرِفُ لأُمَيْمَةَ بِنْتِ رُقَيْقَةَ غَيْرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ . وَأُمَيْمَةُ امْرَأَةٌ أُخْرَى لَهَا حَدِيثٌ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
