al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 855

Translation

✧ I prayed behind the Prophet ﷺ and behind Abu Bakr and behind Umar and behind Uthman and behind Ali, and all of them would recite the recitation of Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim aloud. I mentioned this hadith only as a witness for what preceded it. In these reports that we have mentioned there is opposition to the hadith of Qatada which our imams narrate from him. There remain in the chapter reports from the Commander of the Faithful Uthman and Ali and Talha b. Ubayd Allah and Jabir b. Abd Allah and Abd Allah b. Umar and al-Hakam b. Umayr al-Thumali and al-Nu'man b. Bashir and Samura b. Jundub and Burayda al-Aslami and A'isha bt. al-Siddiq; all of them are documented by me in the chapter, but I have omitted them preferring brevity, and I have abridged from them what is appropriate to this chapter. Likewise I have mentioned in the chapter those who recited Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim aloud among the Companions, the Followers, and their followers. As for the author, is he not ashamed to cite this fabricated hadith? I bear witness by Allah, and for Allah, that it is a lie.

  الأحاديث في الإخفاء نصوص لا تحتمل التأويل وأيضا فلا يعارضها غيرها لثبوتها وصحتها وأحاديث الجهر لا توازيها في الصحة بلا ريب ثم إن أصح أحاديث ترك الجهر حديث أنس وقد اختلف عليه في لفظه فأصح الروايات عنه كانوا يفتتحون القراءة بالحمد لله رب العالمين

  machine translationThe hadiths on reciting silently are explicit texts that do not admit of reinterpretation. Moreover, nothing else conflicts with them, because of their soundness and authenticity. The hadiths on reciting aloud are, without doubt, not equal to them in authenticity. Then, the most authentic of the hadiths on not reciting aloud is the hadith of Anas, though its wording was disputed from him. The most authentic of the narrations from him is: "They would begin the recitation with 'Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds.'" Report a problem

  اختلف على حميد فرواه محمد بن إسحاق ومحمد بن عجلان وعبد الوارث بن سعيد وعبد الوهاب الثقفي ومعتمر وابن عيينة وأبو بكر بن عياش ومروان بن معاوية الفزاري عن حميد عن أنس ورفعوه إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم واختلف عن مالك بن أنس فرواه ابن وهب في غير الموطأ عن مالك والعمري وابن عيينة عن حميد عن أنس مرفوعا وتابعه الوليد بن مسلم عن مالك ورواه ابن وهب في الموطأ موقوفا وكذلك رواه القعنبي وأبو مصعب وابن القاسم ومعن وإسماعيل بن موسى عن مالك موقوفا وروي عن شعبة عن حميد عن أنس مرفوعا وربما وقفه وقد ضبط عنه ابن أبي عدي ذلك رواه عن حميد عن أنس موقوفا ورواه عن حميد عن قتادة عن أنس مرفوعا ورواه زهير بن معاوية عن حميد عن أنس يرى حميد أنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم والمحفوظ من ذلك أن حميدا رواه عن أنس

  machine translationThere is disagreement about Ḥumayd. Muḥammad b. Isḥāq, Muḥammad b. ʿAjlān, ʿAbd al-Wārith b. Saʿīd, ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Thaqafī, Muʿtamir, Ibn ʿUyaynah, Abū Bakr b. ʿAyyāsh and Marwān b. Muʿāwiyah al-Fazārī narrated it from Ḥumayd, from Anas, and traced it back to the Prophet ﷺ. There is also disagreement about Mālik b. Anas. Ibn Wahb narrated it outside the Muwaṭṭaʾ from Mālik, and al-ʿUmarī and Ibn ʿUyaynah narrated it from Ḥumayd, from Anas, as a raised report (marfūʿ), and al-Walīd b. Muslim followed him in that, from Mālik. But Ibn Wahb narrated it in the Muwaṭṭaʾ as a halted report (mawqūf). Likewise al-Qaʿnabī, Abū Muṣʿab, Ibn al-Qāsim, Maʿn and Ismāʿīl b. Mūsā narrated it from Mālik as halted (mawqūf). It is also reported from Shuʿbah, from Ḥumayd, from Anas, as raised (marfūʿ), and sometimes he halted it; Ibn Abī ʿAdī preserved that from him: he narrated it from Ḥumayd, from Anas, as halted, and he narrated it from Ḥumayd, from Qatādah, from Anas, as raised. Zuhayr b. Muʿāwiyah narrated it from Ḥumayd, from Anas, with Ḥumayd thinking that it was from the Prophet ﷺ. The preserved (maḥfūẓ) version of this is that Ḥumayd narrated it from Anas.
