Azami 1721

Abu Dawud (331) narrated it from Jafar bin Musafir, who said, "Abdullah bin Yahya Burlusi told us, Haywa bin Shurayh told us, from Ibn Hadi, that Nafi told him, from Ibn Umar," and he related it.Its isnad is hasan because of Jafar bin Musafir, of whom Nasai said, "Sound." Abu Hatim said, "A shaykh." And Ibn Hibban mentioned him among the trustworthy narrators. Abdullah bin Yahya Burlusi, with the ba and the ra vocalized with damma, and the doubled lam also vocalized with damma, followed by an undotted sin, is among the narrators found in the Sahih. Abu Hatim said, "There is no harm in him." And Ibn Hibban mentioned him among the trustworthy narrators.Daraqutni corroborated them both (1/177), saying, "Abdullah bin Ahmad bin Attab told us, Hasan bin Abdul-Aziz Jarawi told us, Abdullah bin Yahya Maafiri told us, Haywa told us," with a similar isnad and wording. Daraqutni made no comment on it. However, some of the scholars of hadith classified it as stopped at Ibn Umar, but I have found no basis for treating it as stopped, since the hadith agrees with what Abu Juhaym bin Harith narrated.Rather, the hadith that must be judged anomalous and daif is the one narrated by Muhammad bin Thabit Abdi, who said, "Nafi told us, 'I went out with Ibn Umar on an errand to Ibn Abbas. Ibn Umar carried out his errand, and part of what he related that day was that he said,"A man passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in one of the alleys, having just come from relieving himself, and he greeted him with salam, but the Prophet did not return the greeting. When the man was about to disappear from view in the alley, the Prophet struck his hands on the wall and wiped his face with them, then struck again and wiped his forearms, then returned the man's greeting and said, "Nothing kept me from returning your greeting except that I was not in a state of purity.""Taqi Din said in al-Imam, "This narration came with criticism directed at Muhammad bin Thabit. Ibn Main said of him, 'He is nothing.' Abu Hatim said, 'He is not strong.' Bukhari said, 'He was contradicted in his hadith from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, raised to the Prophet, concerning tayammum. Ayub, Ubaydullah, and others contradicted him, saying instead, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, that it was his own action.'" End of quotation.I say, Malik likewise narrated it in Muwatta (90, 91) from Nafi, that he and Abdullah bin Umar were coming from Juruf, and when they reached Marbad, Abdullah dismounted and performed tayammum with clean earth, wiping his face and his hands up to the elbows, then he prayed. In another narration of his, Ibn Umar used to perform tayammum up to the elbows.So the anomaly in the narration of Muhammad bin Thabit Abdi is that he mentioned two strikes and wiping up to the forearms. However, Bayhaqi held the view that the first hadith of Ibn Umar serves as a witness for the second hadith of Ibn Umar, and that there is no contradiction between them. He said, may Allah have mercy on him,"Some of the scholars of hadith rejected raising this hadith to the Prophet in the version of Muhammad bin Thabit Abdi, for a group narrated it from Nafi as an action of Ibn Umar, and what others narrated from Nafi as an action of Ibn Umar was only the tayammum itself. As for this story, it is well known from the Prophet ﷺ through the narration of Abu Juhaym bin Harith bin Simmah and others, and it is also established through Dahhak bin Uthman, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, that a man passed by while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was urinating, and he greeted him with salam, but the Prophet did not return the greeting. Muslim narrated it (370). However, his narration was abridged, while the narration of Yazid bin Had from Nafi is more complete than that."Then he narrated the hadith of Abu Dawud from Jafar bin Musafir to its end, and said, "This narration is a witness for the narration of Muhammad bin Thabit Abdi, except that he preserved the mention of the forearms in it, which no one else established, just as he and Ibn Hadi both related the hadith mentioning the Prophet's tayammum, then his returning the greeting, even though Dahhak bin Uthman abridged it. And Ibn Umar's practice of performing tayammum on the face and forearms up to the elbows serves as a witness to the soundness of the narration of Muhammad bin Thabit, and does not contradict it." End. Sunan al-Kubra (1/206).I say, thus Bayhaqi treated the hadith of Dahhak, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, as the summarized version, and the hadith of Yazid bin Had, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, as its detailed version. I, however, have treated them as two separate hadiths, so that each one takes its own separate number.
