Shaykh Abu Zur’ah Dimashqi says: I saw Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal. He did not accept this narration of Jald bin Ayyub. I heard Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal saying that he said: "If this narration is considered authentic, then Ibn Sirin would not have said this." The slave woman (umm walad) of Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik suffered from istihada (non-menstrual bleeding), so they sent me to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) so that I could ask him about this issue.
