Hadith Regarding Headscarf
It is argued that the following hadith proves that the headscarf is compulsory in Islam:

However, Shihab-Ad-Din Az-Zuhari is in the chain and he is narrating with عن. Is this hadith authentic as Zuhari is a known mudallis? I thank you in advance for your help.

In principle, a hadith is not an independent source of Deen. Apart from the interpolation in the translation, if we take it as it is, it shows how some women acted upon it. It doesn’t make it necessary that this is the only way to adopt the veil. A veil can be adopted in different ways and the directive is achieved.
However the interpolation in the brackets provide additional meanings. The words of the hadith do not reflect them. The hadith says that on an occasion when some women were not very particular about veil, on hearing the directive hurriedly acted upon it and adopted their veil.
It is not necessary that they covered their faces and whole body with it. There is no mention of covering of faces and the whole body in the narration.
The Arab women usually did not cover their faces that is why when a woman covered her face, it is sometimes mentioned. This mentioning tells that it was not a usual practice.

Yes, that I understood. However, my question was regarding Zuhri doing tadlees ik de hadith and why the hadith is still considered authentic in spite of that. Furthermore, we also know that Zuhri had issues with his memory.

These are technical things. A hadith is authentic means it is narrated by authentic people with an unbroken chain. Now if there is tadlees we have to show it separately. Authentic people used to narrate from zuhri.
