حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَعَنَ زَوَّارَاتِ الْقُبُورِ . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَحَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَقَدْ رَأَى بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّ هَذَا كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُرَخِّصَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ فَلَمَّا رَخَّصَ دَخَلَ فِي رُخْصَتِهِ الرِّجَالُ وَالنِّسَاءُ . وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِنَّمَا كُرِهَ زِيَارَةُ الْقُبُورِ لِلنِّسَاءِ لِقِلَّةِ صَبْرِهِنَّ وَكَثْرَةِ جَزَعِهِنَّ .

Qutaybah narrated to us: Abu Awanah narrated to us, from Umar ibn Abi Salamah, from his father, from Abu Hurairah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed women who frequently visit graves. Reports on this topic are also related from Ibn Abbas and Hassan ibn Thabit. Abu Isa said: This is a hasan sahih hadith. Some scholars held that this was before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted visiting graves; when he later permitted it, men and women were included in that permission. Others said that visiting graves was disliked for women because of their limited patience and frequent distress.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَعَنَ زَوَّارَاتِ الْقُبُورِ .
The Arabic uses the intensive plural zāwwārāt, which can indicate frequent visitation; the narration does not otherwise qualify the visits.
Does 'frequently visit' accurately retain the intensive form without broadening the description to every visit?
