Show the chain

أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْصُورٌ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُحَارِبِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

إِذَا كُنْتَ تُصَلِّي فَلاَ تَبْزُقَنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَلاَ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَابْصُقْ خَلْفَكَ أَوْ تِلْقَاءَ شِمَالِكَ إِنْ كَانَ فَارِغًا وَإِلاَّ فَهَكَذَا وَبَزَقَ تَحْتَ رِجْلِهِ وَدَلَكَهُ

What scholars said about it

In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.

  • Dāraquṭnī

    وهم يحيى في قوله خلفك وخالفه الحفاظ من أصحاب الثوري وكيع وعبد الرزاق وعبد الرحمن والفريابي وغيرهم ورواه أصحاب منصور عن منصور لم يقل أحد منهم وابزق خلفك وهذا مما يعتد به على يحيى

    machine translationYaḥyā erred in his saying "behind you", and the memorizers (ḥuffāẓ) among the students of al-Thawrī contradicted him: Wakīʿ, ʿAbd al-Razzāq, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, al-Firyābī and others. The students of Manṣūr also narrated it from Manṣūr, and none of them said "and spit behind you". This is among the things counted against Yaḥyā.

  • Dāraquṭnī

    هي وهم من يحيى بن سعيد ولم يذكرها جماعة من الحفاظ من أصحاب سفيان وكذلك رواه أصحاب منصور عنه لم يقل أحد منهم ابزق خلفك

    machine translationIt is an error (wahm) by Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd. A group of memorizers (ḥuffāẓ) among the students of Sufyān did not mention it, and likewise the students of Manṣūr narrated it from him, and none of them said "spit behind you".
