9 - Although that the mentioned woman was the same as the last one , the narration is weak . And here's a hint , once you see the name of "Al-Waqidy" in a narration , throw it in the garbage as he is infamous for being a liar and a fabricator . The same would be said about "Abu Al-Faraj Al-Asfahany" .
1. al-Shafi’i (d. 204 A.H.):
All the books of al-Waqidi are lies. In Madinah there were seven men who used to fabricator authorities, one of which was al-Waqidi.[11]
2. Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 241 A.H.):
He is a liar, makes alternations in the traditions.[12]
3. al-Nasa’i (d. 303 A.H.):
The liars known for fabricating the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah are four. They are: Arba’ah b. Abi Yahya in Madinah, al-Waqidi in Baghdad, Muqatil b. Sulayman in Khurasan and Muhammad bin Sa’id in Syria.[13]
4. al-Bukhari (d. 256 A.H.):

Consensus has taken place on the weakness of al-Waqidi.[15]

7. Ishaq ibn Rahwiyah (d. 238 A.H.):
According to my view, he is one of those who fabricate Hadith.[17]
8. Abu Dawud (d. 275 A.H.):
I do not write his Hadith and I do not report (Hadith) on his authority. I have no doubt that he used to make up Hadith.[18]
9. Ibn Abi Hatim al-Razi (d. 277 A.H.):
He fabricates Hadith. We have abandoned his Hadith.[19]

There is weakness in him (in his reporting).[20]
11. ‘Ali ibn Madyani (d. 241 A.H.):

14. Abu Zar’ah al-Razi (d. 264 A.H.):
Abandoned, Weak![24]
15. al-Nawawi (d. 676 A.H.):
Their (muhaddithin’) consensus is that al-Waqidi is weak.[25]
