• قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَحَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مَرْفُوعًا إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَهْلُ الشَّأْمِ يَرْوُونَ عَنْهُ مَنَاكِيرَ وَرِوَايَةُ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ عَنْهُ أَشْبَهُ وَأَصَحُّ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ كَأَنَّ زُهَيْرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الَّذِي كَانَ وَقَعَ عِنْدَهُمْ لَيْسَ هُوَ هَذَا الَّذِي يُرْوَى عَنْهُ بِالْعِرَاقِ كَأَنَّهُ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ قَلَبُوا اسْمَهُ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَقَدْ قَالَ بِهِ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي التَّسْلِيمِ فِي الصَّلاَةِ وَأَصَحُّ الرِّوَايَاتِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تَسْلِيمَتَانِ وَعَلَيْهِ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَالتَّابِعِينَ وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ وَرَأَى قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَغَيْرِهِمْ تَسْلِيمَةً وَاحِدَةً فِي الْمَكْتُوبَةِ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ إِنْ شَاءَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمَةً وَاحِدَةً وَإِنْ شَاءَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمَتَيْنِ

  machine translationAbū ʿĪsā said: We do not know the hadith of ʿĀʾishah as a raised report (marfūʿ) except through this route. Muḥammad b. Ismāʿīl said: Zuhayr b. Muḥammad – the people of Syria narrate objectionable reports (manākīr) from him, while the narration of the people of Iraq from him is more fitting and more sound. Muḥammad said: Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal said: It is as if the Zuhayr b. Muḥammad who was found among them [the Syrians] is not this one who is narrated from in Iraq; it is as if he were another man, whose name they reversed. Abū ʿĪsā said: Some of the people of knowledge have held this view regarding the salutation (taslīm) in prayer. The soundest of the reports from the Prophet ﷺ are of two salutations, and most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, the Followers and those after them hold to this. A group of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others held that one salutation suffices in the obligatory prayer. al-Shāfiʿī said: If he wishes he may give one salutation, and if he wishes he may give two salutations.
