Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is a weak with the wording: "Make the marriage public and keep the engagement secret." It was narrated by Al-Daylami from Umm Salamah, and it contains a narrator whose status is unknown. The authentic wording from it is: "Announce the marriage," without the addition of "and keep the engagement secret."
