حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ فَيَنْصَرِفُ النِّسَاءُ قَالَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ فَيَمُرُّ النِّسَاءُ مُتَلَفِّفَاتٍ بِمُرُوطِهِنَّ مَا يُعْرَفْنَ مِنَ الْغَلَسِ . وَقَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ مُتَلَفِّعَاتٍ . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَنَسٍ وَقَيْلَةَ بِنْتِ مَخْرَمَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ نَحْوَهُ . وَهُوَ الَّذِي اخْتَارَهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْهُمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَأَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ يَسْتَحِبُّونَ التَّغْلِيسَ بِصَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Qutaybah narrated to us from Mālik ibn Anas. Al-Anṣārī also narrated to us: Maʿn narrated to us: Mālik narrated to us, from Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd, from ʿAmrah, from ʿĀʾishah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would pray Ṣubḥ, and the women would leave. Al-Anṣārī added: The women would pass by wrapped in their cloaks, unrecognizable in the darkness before dawn. Qutaybah said, “wrapped up.” There are also reports on this topic from Ibn ʿUmar, Anas, and Qaylah bint Makhramah. Abū ʿĪsā said: The hadith of ʿĀʾishah is hasan sahih. Al-Zuhrī also narrated a similar report from ʿUrwah, from ʿĀʾishah. This is what more than one scholar preferred among the Prophet’s Companions, including Abū Bakr and ʿUmar, and those who came after them among the Successors. Al-Shāfiʿī, Aḥmad, and Isḥāq held this view: they considered it recommended to perform the Fajr prayer early, in the darkness before dawn.

وَقَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ مُتَلَفِّعَاتٍ .
The compiler explicitly contrasts al-Anṣārī’s wording (mutalaffifāt) with Qutaybah’s (mutalaffiʿāt), both describing the women as wrapped or covered.
No decision requested; the two variants are retained as reported.
