AI translation51 - ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, he said: Al-Ḥusayn narrated to me, he said: A Bedouin woman once said: "How delightful is solitude! Does it not keep my character more scrupulous and purer?" (1)
Notes
- (1) Al-Ḥusayn is Ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān; he is acceptable when supported in narration, otherwise he is soft in hadith.
The saying of the Bedouin woman was recorded like this in the manuscript, and I was unable to rectify it because Ibn Abī al-Dunyā alone transmitted it.
Let her saying be verified; perhaps it is: (waraʿa), and Allah knows best.

٥١ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْحُسَيْنُ، قَالَ: قَالَتْ أَعْرَابِيَّةٌ مَرَّةً: " يَا حَبَّذَا الْوَحْدَةُ، أَلَيْسَ خَلْقِي وَارِعًا أَنْقَى؟ " (١) .
Notes
(١) الحسين، هو ابن عبد الرحمن، مقبول عند المتابعة، وإلَاّ فلين الحديث.ومقولة الأعرابية هكذا وردت بالمخطوط، ولم أستطع تقويمه، لأن ابن أبي الدنيا قد تفرد بإخراجه،وليحرر قولها هذا، ولعلها: (ورعة) ، والله أعلم.
