• Ibn Khuzaymah

  فهذا الخبر يضاد خبر عبد الكريم عن مجاهد لأن في هذا الخبر أن الحمار إنما كان وراء العنزة وقد ركز النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم العنزة بين يديه بعرفة فصلى إليها وفي خبر عبد الكريم عن مجاهد قال وهو يصلي المكتوبة ليس شيء يستره يحول بيننا وبينه وخبر عبد الكريم وخبر الحكم بن أبان قريب من جهة النقل لأن عبد الكريم قد تكلم أهل المعرفة بالحديث في الاحتجاج بخبره وكذلك خبر الحكم بن أبان غير أن خبر الحكم بن أبان تؤيده أخبار عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم صحاح من جهة النقل وخبر عبد الكريم عن مجاهد يدفعه أخبار صحاح من جهة النقل عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهذا الفعل الذي ذكره عبد الكريم عن مجاهد عن ابن عباس قد ثبت عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قد زجر عن مثل هذا الفعل في خبر سهل بن أبي حثمة أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال إذا صلى أحدكم فليصل إلى سترة وليدن منها لا يقطع الشيطان عليه صلاته

  machine translationThis report contradicts the report of ʿAbd al-Karīm from Mujāhid, because in this report the donkey was only behind the ʿanazah (short spear), and the Prophet ﷺ had planted the ʿanazah in front of him at ʿArafah and prayed towards it. But in the report of ʿAbd al-Karīm from Mujāhid he said: "while he was praying the obligatory prayer, with nothing screening him that would come between us and him." The report of ʿAbd al-Karīm and the report of al-Ḥakam b. Abān are close to each other in terms of transmission, because the people of knowledge of hadith have spoken about relying on the report of ʿAbd al-Karīm, and likewise the report of al-Ḥakam b. Abān. However, the report of al-Ḥakam b. Abān is supported by reports from the Prophet ﷺ that are sound in terms of transmission, while the report of ʿAbd al-Karīm from Mujāhid is refuted by sound reports in terms of transmission from the Prophet ﷺ. This act that ʿAbd al-Karīm mentioned from Mujāhid from Ibn ʿAbbās is established from the Prophet ﷺ as something he forbade, in the report of Sahl b. Abī Ḥathmah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "When one of you prays, let him pray towards a sutrah (screen) and let him draw near to it, so that the Devil does not cut off his prayer." Report a problem
