51 - 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.
