For I do not know al-Sa'ib, the freedman of Umm Salama, to be of established reliability or criticism, nor do I find that Habib ibn Abi Thabit heard this report from Ibn Umar, nor whether Qatadah heard his report from Muwarriq, from Abu al-Ahwas or not; rather, I almost have no doubt that Qatadah did not hear from Abu al-Ahwas, because in some of the reports of Abu al-Ahwas he inserted between himself and Abu al-Ahwas Muwarriq, and in this very report both Hammam and Sa'id ibn Bashir inserted Muwarriq between them.

Narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), the noble wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The best mosques for women are the innermost parts of their houses."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not prevent your women from coming to the mosques, and their homes are better for them." The son of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (Bilal) said, "Why not? By Allah, we will certainly prevent them." Upon this, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, "Are you listening? I am narrating to you the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and you are arguing against it?" The wording of both narrators is the same.

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "Indeed, a woman is something to be concealed, so when she goes out of her house, Satan stares at her (and makes her appear attractive to people), and a woman is closest to the pleasure and approval of her Lord when she is inside her house."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace be upon him) said:“A woman is (like) a veil, and indeed when she goes out of her house, Satan looks at her, and verily she is closest to the pleasure of her Lord when she is inside her house.”Or as he (peace be upon him) said.

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) a narration similar to the one mentioned above. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Indeed, I had said that I do not even know whether Qatadah heard this hadith from Abu’l-Ahwas or not? I said this based on the narration of Sulaiman Taimi, which Qatadah narrates from Abu’l-Ahwas, but omits the intermediary of Mawraq from the chain, whereas Hammam and Sa’id bin Basheer have mentioned the intermediary of Mawraq (between Qatadah and Abu’l-Ahwas) in the chain. Indeed, I also doubt the authenticity of this hadith because it is not known whether Qatadah heard this hadith from Mawraq or not.
