The word عميه in a Hadith of Sahih Muslim

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by HadithAnswers.com

What is the meaning and correct ‘Irab of the following:

هذا حديث عمية in Sahih Muslim.

Answer

There are several pronunciations for this:

عِمِّيَة = Difficult/severe. A Hadith that is difficult on us, due to its subject matter.
عُمِّية = Same as the above.
عَمِّيَة = My group. This Hadith discusses my group, meaning family and tribe; the Ansar.
عَمِّيَّة = My uncles. This Hadith discusses my uncles [from the Ansar]. Or this could mean: I have heard this part from my uncles.
Qadi ‘Iyad (rahimahullah) has preferred the third explanation.
Note: In all of the above, the ‘ta‬‎’ at the end is silent.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
