حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَالِمُ بْنُ نُوحٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ، رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي حَنِيفَةَ هُوَ ابْنُ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ وَعْلَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ وَثَّابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: مَنْ بَاتَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ حِجَابٌ فَقَدْ بَرِئَتْ مِنْهُ الذِّمَّةُ. قال: أبو عبد الله: في إسناده نظر.

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna related to us: Salim ibn Nuh related to us: ‘Umar, a man from Banu Hanifah, namely Ibn Jabir, informed us, from Wa‘lah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Waththab, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘Ali, from his father, from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who said: ‘Whoever spends the night on the roof of a house without a barrier has no protection owed to him.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah said: There is a question about its chain of transmission.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
في إسناده نظر
The compiler’s note questions the isnad; it is omitted from the English witness, which also gives a different name as the reporter.
Should the compiler’s criticism of the chain and its attribution to Abu ‘Abd Allah be preserved?
الذِّمَّةُ
The expression concerns the dhimmah or guarantee of protection; a concise English equivalent may be difficult.
What rendering best preserves الذمة in the warning about sleeping on an unprotected roof?
