  machine translationHe said: On this topic there are narrations from Jābir, Abū Umāmah, Abū Hurayrah, Abū Dharr and Kaʿb b. Mālik. Abū ʿĪsā said: The hadith of Abū Qatādah is a good and sound (ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ) hadith. Muḥammad b. ʿAjlān and more than one narrator reported this hadith from ʿĀmir b. ʿAbdullāh b. al-Zubayr, similar to the narration of Mālik b. Anas. Suhayl b. Abī Ṣāliḥ reported this hadith from ʿĀmir b. ʿAbdullāh b. al-Zubayr, from ʿAmr b. Sulaym al-Zuraqī, from Jābir b. ʿAbdillāh, from the Prophet ﷺ. This hadith is not preserved (ghayr maḥfūẓ), and the sound one is the hadith of Abū Qatādah. The practice follows this hadith among our companions; they considered it recommended that when a man enters the mosque he not sit until he has prayed two rakʿahs, unless he has an excuse. ʿAlī b. al-Madīnī said: The hadith of Suhayl b. Abī Ṣāliḥ is an error. Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm informed me of that, from ʿAlī b. al-Madīnī. Report a problem
