Azami 15487

Reported by Abu Dawud (4051), Tirmidhi (2808), Ibn Majah (3654), and Ahmad (722), and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (5438), all of them through the route of Abu Ishaq, from Hubayra, from Ali, as mentioned. Its chain is hasan because of Hubayra, who is Ibn Yarim Shaybani, for there is no harm in him, as Ahmad said. Others considered him unknown, but he has corroborating narrations. Abu Dawud (4050) reported it through another route from Ubayda Salmani from Ali in a shortened form. The hadith has other routes with an addition in its wording, reported by Ahmad (963) and Nasai (5169–5171), but these are defective. Daraqutni (3/245) also identified a defect in it.As for his saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade me," this prohibition is not specific to him, as some jurists have said, rather it applies generally to all who are morally accountable. Addressing one individual applies to everyone, according to the sound view, unless the address is specifically restricted to him.As for his saying, "mayathir," these are a type of riding seat used by non-Arabs, made of silk or brocade. And his saying, "arjuwan," refers to a red dye, made like a small cushion, stuffed with cotton or wool, which the rider then places beneath himself on the saddle atop the camels.
