سنن أبي داود#1953Hasan chainحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حِصْنٍ، حَدَّثَتْنِي جَدَّتِي، سَرَّاءُ بِنْتُ نَبْهَانَ - وَكَانَتْ رَبَّةَ بَيْتٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ - قَالَتْ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ الرُّءُوسِ فَقَالَ " أَىُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا " . قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ " أَلَيْسَ أَوْسَطَ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَكَذَلِكَ قَالَ عَمُّ أَبِي حُرَّةَ الرَّقَاشِيِّ إِنَّهُ خَطَبَ أَوْسَطَ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ .
Narrated Sarra' daughter of Nabhan: She was mistress of a temple in pre-Islamic days. She said: The prophet (ﷺ) addressed us on the second day of sacrifice (yawm ar-ru'us) and said: Which is this day? We said: Allah and His Apostle are better aware. He said: Is this not the middle of the tashriq days?
Scholarly Authentication
The label above is the grade most of these scholars gave, each scholar counted once — one dissenting opinion no longer speaks for all of them. If any scholar calls a narration fabricated, that verdict is shown instead, whatever the others say. When they judged only its chain of narrators (“Isnaad”), the label says “Sound chain”. Each scholar's own wording:
Our source also lists this ruling under Muhammad Muhyi Al-Din Abdul Hamid, the editor of the printed edition it was taken from. It is al-Albani's ruling printed again, so it is counted once.
