- قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ؓ يَقُولُ:
إِنَّ رَفْعَكُمْ أَيْدِيَكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ لَبِدْعَةٌ، وَاللهِ مَا زَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى هَكَذَا: يَعْنِي بِإِصْبَعِهِ

✧ Your raising of hands in prayer is an innovation. By God, the Messenger of God ﷺ did not do more than this - meaning with his finger.

بشر بن حرب ضعيف
machine translationBishr b. Ḥarb is weak (ḍaʿīf).
in المطالب العالية, p. 638 - الزيلعى
معلول لأن بشر بن حرب ويقال له أبو عمرو الندبي مطعون فيه قال البخاري رأيت ابن المديني يضعفه وكان يحيى القطان لا يروي عنه وقال أحمد ليس بقوي وقال إسحاق متروك ليس بشيء وقال السعدي لا يحمد حديثه وقال النسائي وابن أبي حاتم ضعيف
machine translationIt is defective (maʿlūl), because Bishr b. Ḥarb, who is also called Abū ʿAmr al-Nadabī, is criticized. al-Bukhārī said: "I saw Ibn al-Madīnī declaring him weak (yuḍaʿʿifuhu)," and Yaḥyā al-Qaṭṭān would not narrate from him. Aḥmad said: "He is not strong." Isḥāq said: "Abandoned (matrūk), worthless." al-Saʿdī said: "His hadith is not praised." al-Nasāʾī and Ibn Abī Ḥātim said: "Weak (ḍaʿīf)."
