- Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
ليس هذا الحديث بصحيح وهو عن أبي إسحاق مضطرب وإنما روى هذا الحديث نفيع الأعمى عن ابن عمر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
machine translationThis hadith is not sound (ṣaḥīḥ), and it is inconsistent (muḍṭarib) as reported from Abū Isḥāq. Rather, this hadith was narrated by Nufayʿ al-Aʿmā, from Ibn ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ.
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 1202 - Dāraquṭnī
المحفوظ عن سالم عن ابن عمر أنه عد صلاة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم التطوع
machine translationWhat is preserved (maḥfūẓ) from Sālim, from Ibn ʿUmar, is that he counted the voluntary prayers of the Prophet ﷺ.
