Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 1173

Translation

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed Zuhr or Asr, and saluted after two rak'ahs of one of them. Dhul-Shimalayn b. Abd Amr b. Nadlah al-Khuza'i, who was an ally of Banu Zuhrah, said to him: 'Has the prayer been shortened or have you forgotten, O Messenger of Allah?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'I have not forgotten, nor has it been shortened.' Dhul-Shimalayn said: 'Some of that has indeed happened.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then turned to the people and said: 'Is Dhul-Yadayn truthful?' They said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and completed the prayer. And none of them told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed two prostrations while sitting in that prayer. That, as we see - and God knows best - was because the people made the Messenger of Allah ﷺ certain until he was sure.

  اضطرب على الزهري في حديث ذي اليدين اضطرابا أوجب عند أهل العلم بالنقل تركه من روايته خاصة

  machine translationThere was inconsistency (iḍṭirāb) reported from al-Zuhrī in the hadith of Dhū al-Yadayn, such that the people of knowledge of transmission held it necessary to leave it aside from his narration in particular. Report a problem

  اضطرب الزهري في إسناد حديث أبي هريرة في قصة ذي اليدين اضطرابا كثيرا

• Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

  فإن قال قائل إن حديث ذي اليدين مضطرب لأن ابن عمر وأبا هريرة يقولان سلم من اثنتين وعمران بن حصين يقول من ثلاث ركعات ومعاوية بن حديج يقول إن المتكلم طلحة بن عبيد الله قيل له ليس اختلافهم في موضع السلام من الصلاة عند أحد من أهل العلم بخلاف يقدح في حديثهم لأن المعنى المراد من الحديث هو البناء بعد الكلام ولا فرق عند أهل العلم بين المسلم من ثلاث أو من اثنتين لأن كل واحد منهما لم يكمل صلاته وأما ما ذكر في حديث معاوية بن حديج من ذكر طلحة بن عبيد الله فممكن أن يكون أيضا طلحة كلمه وغيره وليس في أن يكلمه طلحة وغيره ما يدفع أن ذا اليدين كلمه أيضا فأدى كل ما سمع على حسب ما سمع

  machine translationIf someone says: the hadith of Dhū l-Yadayn is inconsistent (muḍṭarib), because Ibn ʿUmar and Abū Hurayrah say that he gave the salām after two units, while ʿImrān b. Ḥuṣayn says after three units, and Muʿāwiyah b. Ḥudayj says that the one who spoke was Ṭalḥah b. ʿUbaydillāh, it is said to him: their disagreement about the point of the prayer at which the salām was given is not, according to any of the people of knowledge, a disagreement that undermines their hadith, because the meaning intended by the hadith is building on the prayer after speaking. There is no difference among the people of knowledge between one who gave the salām after three or after two, because neither of them had completed his prayer. As for what is mentioned in the hadith of Muʿāwiyah b. Ḥudayj about Ṭalḥah b. ʿUbaydillāh, it is possible that Ṭalḥah and others also spoke to him, and Ṭalḥah and others speaking to him does not rule out that Dhū l-Yadayn also spoke to him. So each one reported what he heard according to what he heard. Report a problem
