أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَتْ أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ لاَ تَذْكُرُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلاَّ قَالَتْ بِأَبَا ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ أَسَمِعْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَتْ نَعَمْ بِأَبَا قَالَ ‏ "‏ لِتَخْرُجِ الْعَوَاتِقُ وَذَوَاتُ الْخُدُورِ وَالْحُيَّضُ فَيَشْهَدْنَ الْخَيْرَ وَدَعْوَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَتَعْتَزِلِ الْحُيَّضُ الْمُصَلَّى ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

'Amr ibn Zurarah informed us: Isma'il informed us, from Ayyub, from Hafsah, who said: Umm 'Atiyyah would never mention the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) without saying, 'May my father be his ransom.' I asked: 'Did you hear the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say such-and-such?' She said: 'Yes, may my father be his ransom.' He said: 'Let the young women, those who remain secluded, and menstruating women go out to witness what is good and the supplication of the Muslims; but menstruating women should keep away from the prayer place.'

Translation notes

  • The full chain through Hafsah is included. The Arabic uses a reverential expression meaning 'may my father be his ransom'; the English witness omits the chain.

  • أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ،

    The English witness omits the chain preceding Hafsah.

    Please verify the chain against the Arabic source.
