- Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī
فأما الحديث فعول على المعارضة به كثير ووجه الدلالة منه قوله فالغسل أفضل فإنه يقتضي اشتراك الوضوء والغسل في أصل الفضل فيستلزم إجزاء الوضوء ولهذا الحديث طرق أشهرها وأقواها رواية الحسن عن سمرة أخرجها أصحاب السنن الثلاثة وابن خزيمة وابن حبان وله علتان إحداهما عنعنة الحسن والأخرى أنه اختلف عليه فيه وأخرجه ابن ماجه عن أنس والطبراني عن عبد الرحمن بن سمرة والبزار عن أبي سعيد وابن عدي عن جابر وكلها ضعيفة
machine translationAs for the hadith, many have relied on it in opposition [to the other view]. The point of evidence in it is his saying, "the ghusl is better (afḍal)", for this implies that wuḍūʾ and ghusl share in the basic merit, and so it necessitates that wuḍūʾ suffices. This hadith has several routes, the best known and strongest of which is the narration of al-Ḥasan from Samurah, which was recorded by the authors of the three Sunan, Ibn Khuzaymah and Ibn Ḥibbān. It has two defects (ʿillah): one is the ʿanʿanah of al-Ḥasan, and the other is that there is disagreement about it from him. Ibn Mājah recorded it from Anas, al-Ṭabarānī from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Samurah, al-Bazzār from Abū Saʿīd, and Ibn ʿAdī from Jābir, and all of them are weak (ḍaʿīf).

سماع الحسن من سمرة مختلف فيه
machine translationAl-Ḥasan's hearing from Samurah is disputed.

ولهذا الحديث طرق أشهرها وأقواها رواية الحسن عن سمرة أخرجها أصحاب السنن الثلاثة وابن خزيمة وابن حبان وله علتان إحداهما أنه من عنعنة الحسن والأخرى أنه اختلف عليه فيه
machine translationThis hadith has several routes, the best known and strongest of which is the narration of al-Ḥasan from Samurah, which was recorded by the authors of the three Sunan, Ibn Khuzaymah and Ibn Ḥibbān. It has two defects (ʿillah): one is that it is from the ʿanʿanah of al-Ḥasan, and the other is that there is disagreement about it from him.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 354 - ʿAbd al-ʿAẓīm al-Mudhirī
وقد قيل إن الحسن لم يسمع من سمرة شيئا ولا لقيه وقيل إنه سمع منه ومنهم من عين سماعه لحديث العقيقة كما ذكره النسائي
machine translationIt has been said that al-Ḥasan did not hear anything from Samurah and did not meet him. It has also been said that he did hear from him, and some specified his hearing of the hadith of the ʿaqīqah, as al-Nasāʾī mentioned.

حديث حسن
machine translationA good (ḥasan) hadith.

حديث الحسن عن سمرة وإن كان الحسن لم يسمع من سمرة فيما يقولون إلا حديث العقيقة أحسنها إسنادا وقد نقل أنه سمع من سمرة غير حديث العقيقة
machine translationThe hadith of al-Ḥasan from Samurah, even though al-Ḥasan did not hear from Samurah, as they say, except the hadith of the ʿaqīqah, is the best of them in chain of transmission. It has been reported that he heard from Samurah other than the hadith of the ʿaqīqah.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 354 - Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī
من يحمل رواية الحسن عن سمرة على الاتصال يصحح هذا الحديث قلت هو مذهب علي بن المديني كما نقله عنه البخاري والترمذي والحاكم وغيرهم
machine translationWhoever takes the narration of al-Ḥasan from Samurah as connected (muttaṣil) declares this hadith sound (ṣaḥīḥ). I say: this is the position of ʿAlī b. al-Madīnī, as al-Bukhārī, al-Tirmidhī, al-Ḥākim and others transmitted from him.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 354 - al-Tirmidhi
له علتان إحداهما أنه من عنعنة الحسن والأخرى أنه اختلف عليه فيه
machine translationIt has two defects (ʿillah): one is that it is from the ʿanʿanah of al-Ḥasan, and the other is that there is disagreement about it from him.

جميعا صحيحين همام ثقة وصله وأبان لم يوصله
machine translationBoth are sound (ṣaḥīḥ): Hammām is trustworthy (thiqah) and he connected it, while Abān did not connect it.

هذا الحديث مروي من طرق أحسنها طريق الحسن عن سمرة
machine translationThis hadith is narrated through routes, the best of which is the route of al-Ḥasan from Samurah.
