Sunan an-Nasa'i 507

Translation

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray 'Asr when the sun was still high and bright, and a person could go to Al-'Awali [1] when the sun was still high." [1] Al-'Awali is the southern most district of Al-Madinah, and it is very big. Its nearest limit is at a distance of about two miles from the center of Al-Madinah. While its furthest limit is about eight miles.

• Dāraquṭnī

  هذا مما ينتقد به على مالك لأنه رفعه وقال فيه إلى قباء وخالفه عدد كثير منهم شعيب بن أبي حمزة وصالح بن كيسان وعمرو بن الحارث ويونس بن يزيد ومعمر والليث بن سعد وابن أبي ذئب

  machine translationThis is among the things for which Mālik is criticized, because he traced it back to the Prophet (marfūʿ) and said in it "to Qubāʾ"; a large number of narrators contradicted him, among them Shuʿayb b. Abī Ḥamzah, Ṣāliḥ b. Kaysān, ʿAmr b. al-Ḥārith, Yūnus b. Yazīd, Maʿmar, al-Layth b. Saʿd and Ibn Abī Dhiʾb. Report a problem

• Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī

  ذكر كلام الدارقطني ثم قال ومثل هذا الوهم اليسير لا يلزم منه القدح في صحة الحديث لا سيما وقد أخرجا الرواية المحفوظة

  machine translationHe mentioned the words of al-Dāraquṭnī and then said: Such a slight error (wahm) does not necessarily entail impugning the soundness of the hadith, especially since the two of them (al-Bukhārī and Muslim) have also transmitted the preserved (maḥfūẓ) narration. Report a problem
