- Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
وقد روى وهب الله بن راشد عن يونس عن الزهري في هذا حديثا أخطأ في إسناده ومتنه وكذلك رواه محمد بن بكر البرساني عن يونس عن الزهري عن أنس وهذا خطأ لا شك فيه لا أدري ممن جاء وإنما رواية يونس لهذا الحديث عن الزهري عن سالم مرسلا وبعضهم يرويه عنه عن الزهري عن سالم عن أبيه مسندا والذين يروونه عنه مرسلا أكثر وأحفظ وأما قوله وخلفها فلا يصح في هذا الحديث وهي لفظة منكرة فيه لا يقولها أحد من رواته
machine translationWahb Allāh b. Rāshid also narrated from Yūnus, from al-Zuhrī, a ḥadīth on this subject in which he erred in both its chain and its text. Likewise Muḥammad b. Bakr al-Bursānī narrated it from Yūnus, from al-Zuhrī, from Anas. This is a mistake about which there is no doubt; I do not know from whom it came. Yūnus's narration of this ḥadīth is only from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, as a mursal report. Some narrate it from him, from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, from his father, as a connected (musnad) report, but those who narrate it from him as mursal are more numerous and better memorizers. As for the saying "and behind it", it is not sound in this ḥadīth; it is a rejected (munkar) wording in it that none of its narrators say.
in سنن النسائي, p. 1945 - al-Tirmidhi
أهل الحديث كلهم يرون الحديث المرسل في ذلك أصح
machine translationAll the people of ḥadīth consider the mursal report on this matter to be the more authentic.
in سنن النسائي, p. 1945 - al-Bukhari
الحديث الصحيح هو هذا يعني المرسل
machine translationThe authentic ḥadīth is this one, meaning the mursal one.
in سنن النسائي, p. 1945 - Aḥmad ibn Shuʿayb al-Nasāʾī
هذا خطأ والصواب مرسل
machine translationThis is an error, and the correct version is mursal.

machine translationHe connected its chain (waṣalahu) by mistake; the correct form is that it is mursal.
in سنن النسائي, p. 1945 - Dāraquṭnī
وقد ذكر الدارقطني في العلل اختلافا كثيرا فيه على الزهري قال والصحيح قول من قال عن الزهري عن سالم عن أبيه أنه كان يمشي قال وقد مشى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأبو بكر وعمر
machine translational-Dāraquṭnī mentioned in al-ʿIlal much disagreement about it on the authority of al-Zuhrī. He said: The correct report is that of those who said: from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, from his father, that he used to walk. He said: And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abū Bakr and ʿUmar walked.
in سنن النسائي, p. 1945 - Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Bayhaqī
واختار البيهقي ترجيح الموصول لأنه من رواية ابن عيينة وهو ثقة حافظ
machine translational-Bayhaqī chose to give preference to the connected (mawṣūl) version because it is from the narration of Ibn ʿUyaynah, who is trustworthy and a memorizer (thiqah ḥāfiẓ).
in سنن النسائي, p. 1945 - محمد بن إبراهيم بن المنذر النيسابوري
وجزم بصحته ابن المنذر يعني الموصول
machine translationIbn al-Mundhir was certain of its authenticity, meaning the connected (mawṣūl) version.
in سنن النسائي, p. 1945 - Dāraquṭnī
والصحيح قول من قال عن الزهري عن سالم عن أبيه أنه كان يمشي قال وقد مشى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأبو بكر وعمر
machine translationThe correct report is that of those who said: from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, from his father, that he used to walk. He said: And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abū Bakr and ʿUmar walked.
in سنن النسائي, p. 1945 - Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal
إنما هو عن الزهري مرسل وحديث سالم فعل ابن عمر وحديث ابن عيينة وهم
machine translationIt is only from al-Zuhrī as mursal. The ḥadīth of Sālim is an action of Ibn ʿUmar, and the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿUyaynah is an error.
in سنن النسائي, p. 1945 - Aḥmad ibn Shuʿayb al-Nasāʾī
هذا أيضا خطأ والصواب مرسل وإنما أتى هذا عندي والله أعلم لأن الحديث رواه الزهري عن سالم عن أبيه أنه كان يمشي أمام الجنازة قال وكان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وأبو بكر وعمر يمشون أمام الجنازة وقال كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إنما هو من قول الزهري قال ابن المبارك الحفاظ عن ابن شهاب ثلاثة مالك ومعمر وابن عيينة فإذا اجتمع اثنان على قول أخذنا به وتركنا قول الآخر قال لنا أبو عبد الرحمن وذكر ابن المبارك هذا الكلام عند هذا الحديث
machine translationThis too is a mistake; the correct form is that it is mursal. It came about, in my view, and Allah knows best, because al-Zuhrī narrated the ḥadīth from Sālim, from his father, that he used to walk in front of the funeral procession. He said: The Prophet ﷺ, Abū Bakr and ʿUmar used to walk in front of the funeral procession. And his saying "The Prophet ﷺ used to..." is merely from the words of al-Zuhrī. Ibn al-Mubārak said: The reliable memorizers (ḥuffāẓ) from Ibn Shihāb are three: Mālik, Maʿmar and Ibn ʿUyaynah. When two agree on a statement, we take it and leave the statement of the other. Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān told us: Ibn al-Mubārak mentioned this remark in connection with this ḥadīth.

روي مرسلا عن الزهري قال الترمذي وأهل الحديث يرون أنه أصح
in سنن النسائي, p. 1945 - Ibn al-Mubārak
حديث الزهري في هذا مرسل أصح من حديث ابن عيينة وقد وافقه على رفعه ابن جريج وزياد بن سعد وغير واحد
machine translationThe ḥadīth of al-Zuhrī on this matter, as mursal, is more authentic than the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿUyaynah. Ibn Jurayj, Ziyād b. Saʿd and others agreed with him in attributing it to the Prophet (marfūʿ).
in سنن النسائي, p. 1945 - إبراهيم بن المنذر الحزامي
جزم بصحته
machine translationHe was certain of its authenticity.
