Authenticity Of Hadith About Hazrat Fatima (R.A) And Parda
Irfan Sahab, Following is the Arabic Text: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جُمَيْعٍ، سَالِمُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَتَى فَاطِمَةَ بِعَبْدٍ قَدْ وَهَبَهُ لَهَا قَالَ وَعَلَى فَاطِمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ثَوْبٌ إِذَا قَنَّعَتْ بِهِ رَأْسَهَا لَمْ يَبْلُغْ رِجْلَيْهَا وَإِذَا غَطَّتْ بِهِ رِجْلَيْهَا لَمْ يَبْلُغْ رَأْسَهَا فَلَمَّا رَأَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا تَلْقَى قَالَ ‏ “‏ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكِ بَأْسٌ إِنَّمَا هُوَ أَبُوكِ وَغُلاَمُكِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ ____________________ https://sunnah.com/abudawud:4106
I have already explained at length in my above post how to approach Hadith corpus and threads shared contain very useful insight into this matter. The principles will be extracted from Quran and Sunnah and Hadth is to be seen in the light of Quran and Sunnah; and if some hadith on the face of it seems to contradict clear directives mentioned in Quran and Sunnah, then that hadith is to be interpreted in that light and not the other way round. Understanding of this Principle takes time because we have all been long fed the opposite principles where Ahadith are said to be final hujjat on Quran and Sunnah, or a real explanation of Quran and Sunnah, without taking into account epistemological problems in this approach.
