حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ قَالَ: نَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ زَبْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ:
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ ؟ فَقَالَ: " مَثْنَى مَثْنَى، فَإِذَا خِفْتَ أَنْ يُدْرِكَكَ الصُّبْحُ فَأَوْتِرْ بِوَاحِدَةٍ

هذا وهم دخل لهشام بن إسماعيل حديث في حديث نظرت في بعض أصناف محمد بن شعيب فوجدت هذا الحديث رواه محمد بن شعيب عن محمد بن يزيد البصري عن هشام بن عروة عن أبيه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى فترك آية هكذا مرسل ورأيت بجنبه حديث عبد الله بن العلاء عن سالم عن أبيه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه سئل عن صلاة الليل فقال مثنى مثنى فإذا خشيت الصبح فعلمت أنه قد سقط على هشام بن إسماعيل متن حديث عبد الله بن العلاء وبقي إسناده وسقط إسناد حديث محمد بن يزيد البصري فصار متن حديث محمد بن يزيد البصري بإسناد حديث عبد الله بن العلاء بن زبر
machine translationThis is an error (wahm) that entered Hishām b. Ismāʿīl, a hadith within a hadith. I looked into some of the categories of Muḥammad b. Shuʿayb's material and found that this hadith was narrated by Muḥammad b. Shuʿayb from Muḥammad b. Yazīd al-Baṣrī, from Hishām b. ʿUrwah, from his father: that the Prophet ﷺ prayed and omitted a verse, thus, as a mursal report. And I saw beside it the hadith of ʿAbdullāh b. al-ʿAlāʾ, from Sālim, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he was asked about the night prayer and said: "Two by two, and if you fear the dawn..." So I knew that the text (matn) of the hadith of ʿAbdullāh b. al-ʿAlāʾ had dropped out for Hishām b. Ismāʿīl while its chain (isnād) remained, and the chain of the hadith of Muḥammad b. Yazīd al-Baṣrī had dropped out. So the text of the hadith of Muḥammad b. Yazīd al-Baṣrī became attached to the chain of the hadith of ʿAbdullāh b. al-ʿAlāʾ b. Zabr.
