Umm 'Atiya al-Ansariya told that the Prophet (ﷺ) said to a woman who used to perform circumcision (on girls) in Medina, “Do not cut severely, as that is better for a woman and more desirable to a husband.” Abu Dawud transmitted it, saying this is a weak tradition one of whose transmitters is an unknown man.
وَعَن أُمِّ عطيَّةَ الأنصاريَّةِ: أنَّ امْرَأَة كَانَت تختن بِالْمَدِينَةِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تُنْهِكِي فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَحْظَى لِلْمَرْأَةِ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى الْبَعْلِ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ ضَعِيفٌ وَرَاوِيه مَجْهُول
