حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، قَالَ كَانَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ تُسْتَحَاضُ فَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا يَغْشَاهَا ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ مُعَلَّى ثِقَةٌ ‏.‏ وَكَانَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ لاَ يَرْوِي عَنْهُ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَنْظُرُ فِي الرَّأْىِ ‏.‏
