وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ سُمَىٍّ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ
عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ فِي سَفَرِهِ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ بِالْفِطْرِ وَقَالَ تَقَوَّوْا لِعَدُوِّكُمْ وَصَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْعَرْجِ يَصُبُّ الْمَاءَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ أَوْ مِنَ الْحَرِّ ثُمَّ قِيلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ طَائِفَةً مِنَ النَّاسِ قَدْ صَامُوا حِينَ صُمْتَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْكَدِيدِ دَعَا بِقَدَحٍ فَشَرِبَ فَأَفْطَرَ النَّاسُ

- Abū Bakr b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman
Yahya related to me from Malik from Sumayy, the mawla of Abu Bakr ibn Abd ar-Rahman, from Abu Bakr ibn Abd ar-Rahman from one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered everyone to break the fast on the journey he made in the year of the conquest saying, "Be strong for your enemy," while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept on fasting. Abu Bakr said that the one who related this to him said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pouring water over his head at al-Arj, either from thirst or from the heat. Then some one said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ 'Messenger of Allah, a group of people kept on fasting when you did.' Then when the Messenger of Allah was at al-Kadid, he asked for a drinking-bowl and drank, and everyone broke the fast."

- Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
حديث سمي مسند صحيح
machine translationA hadith in which the Companion is named: a connected (musnad), authentic (ṣaḥīḥ) hadith.
in موطأ مالك, p. 605 - Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
هذا حديث مسند صحيح ولا فرق بين أن يسمي التابع الصاحب الذي حدثه أو لا يسميه في وجوب العمل بحديثه لأن الصحابة كلهم عدول مرضيون ثقات أثبات وهذا أمر مجتمع عليه عند أهل العلم بالحديث
machine translationThis is a connected (musnad), authentic (ṣaḥīḥ) hadith. There is no difference, regarding the obligation to act upon his hadith, between the Follower (tābiʿī) naming the Companion who narrated to him and not naming him, because all the Companions are upright (ʿudūl), approved, trustworthy (thiqāt) and reliable (athbāt). This is a matter agreed upon among the scholars of hadith.
