Azami 3023

Tirmidhi (580) and Nasai (1129) both narrated it through Abdul-Wahhab Thaqafi, from Khalid Haddan, from Abu Aliyah, from Ayesha, and mentioned it as noted. Its chain is sahih. Tirmidhi said, "Hasan sahih." Hakim also narrated it (1/220) and said, "Sahih according to the standard of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim)." Hakim added, "Blessed is Allah, the best of creators."As for what Abu Dawud (1414) narrated through Ismail, that is, Ibn Ulaya, from Khalid Haddan, from a man, from Abu Aliyah, he placed "an unnamed intermediary" between Khalid and Abu Aliyah, so this version is outweighed. The stronger version is what Abdul-Wahhab Thaqafi narrated, and he was followed by a group of trustworthy narrators who related the hadith without the intermediary, so their narration takes precedence over the narration of Ismail bin Ulaya.Abu Aliyah's name was Rafi bin Mihran Riyahi, the freed slave of the Riyah tribe, from Basrah. He lived during the Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic era) and embraced Islam two years after the death of the Prophet ﷺ. There is consensus on his reliability. Ibn Adi said, "He has sound hadiths, and the main criticism against him concerns the hadith about laughing during prayer. Everyone else who narrated it ultimately traces back to Abu Aliyah, the hadith is his and is known by him, and it is because of it that they criticized him, while the rest of his hadiths are sound and reliable." End of quote. He is among the narrators found in the six major collections.As for what was narrated from Ibn Abbas, who said, "A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I saw in a dream, as one sees while sleeping, that I was praying behind a tree, and I saw myself reciting a verse containing a sajdah, and I saw the tree prostrating in response to my prostration, and I heard it saying, "O Allah, record for me with You a reward for it, remove from me through it a sin, make it for me with You a treasure, and accept it from me as You accepted it from Your servant Dawud."' Ibn Abbas said, 'So the Prophet ﷺ recited a verse with a sajdah and then prostrated, and I heard him saying the same thing the man had reported the tree as saying'" this is daif.Tirmidhi (579) and Ibn Majah (1053) both narrated it through Muhammad bin Yazid bin Khunays, who said, Hasan bin Muhammad bin Ubaydullah bin Abu Yazid told me, he said, Ibn Jurayj said to me, "O Hasan, your grandfather Ubaydullah bin Abu Yazid told me, from Ibn Abbas," and he mentioned it. Tirmidhi said, "A gharib hadith, we do not know it except through this route." Ibn Khuzayma (562), Ibn Hibban (2768), and Hakim (1/219–220) all narrated it through this same route. Hakim said, "This is a sahih hadith, its narrators are from Makkah, none of them has been criticized, and it meets the standard of sahih, though the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not include it."I say, Hasan bin Muhammad bin Ubaydullah did not narrate from anyone other than Ibn Jurayj, and no one narrated from him except Muhammad bin Yazid bin Khunays. Aqeeli said in Duafa (1/243), "He is not corroborated in his hadith, and he is not known except through this route." Dhahabi said in Mizan, "Someone else, meaning Aqeeli, said there is obscurity in him, no one narrated from him except Ibn Khunays." As for Muhammad bin Yazid bin Khunays, no one deemed him trustworthy except Ibn Hibban, apart from Abu Hatim's statement about him, that he was a righteous shaykh. For this reason, the Hafiz (Ibn Hajar) placed him in the rank of "acceptable," meaning where he is corroborated, but since he was not corroborated here, he is "weak in hadith."
