I saw Ibn Umar grasp his beard and cut off whatever exceeded the width of his fist. He said, "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ broke his fast, he would say, 'The thirst is gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is secured, Allah willing.'"
رأيت ابن عمر يقبض على لحيته فيقطع ما زاد على الكف، وقال: كان رسول الله ﷺ إذا أفطر قال: ذهب الظمأ وابتلت العروق، وثبت الأجر إن شاء الله.
Abu Dawud (2357) and Nasai in "al-Kubra" (3315) both narrated it from the hadith of Ali bin Hasan, who said, our teacher told us Husayn bin Waqid, our teacher told us Marwan al-Muqannaa, and then he related it. Daraqutni (2279), Hakim (1/422), and Bayhaqi (4/239) all narrated it by this same route. Ali bin Hasan is Ibn Shaqiq, Abu Abdul-Rahman al-Marwazi, one of the men accepted by the entire community of hadith scholars. Daraqutni said, "Husayn bin Waqid alone narrated it, and its isnad is hasan." Hakim said, "Sahih according to the criteria of the two shaykhs, for they both relied on Husayn bin Waqid and Marwan bin al-Muqannaa." But Dhahabi said, "According to the criteria of Bukhari, for Bukhari relied on Marwan and Ibn al-Muqannaa, who is Ibn Salim."This suggests that some copyists erred in transmitting Hakim's statement, for the correct version is what Dhahabi summarized. Furthermore, in the statement of both Hakim and Dhahabi there is also an error, for Bukhari did not narrate from Marwan bin al-Muqaffa at all. Rather, it was Abu Dawud and Nasai who narrated from him. Ibn Hibban rated him trustworthy, and a number of scholars narrated from him. Daraqutni's statement, mentioned earlier, that its isnad is hasan means he does not fall below the rank of "reliable." As for Husayn bin Waqid, he is Abu Abdullah, the judge of Marw. Ibn Main and others rated him trustworthy, and his hadith is hasan, being one of the men found in the Sahih.As for what has been narrated from Muaz bin Zuhrah, that it reached him that the Prophet ﷺ, when breaking his fast, would say, "O Allah, for You I fasted, and upon Your provision I break my fast," this is a mursal narration. Abu Dawud (2358) narrated it, and Bayhaqi (4/239) narrated it from him, from Musaddad, our teacher told us Hushaym, from Husayn, from Muaz bin Zuhrah, and then he related it. Munziri criticized it for being mursal, since Muaz bin Zuhrah was a follower of the companions, and moreover no one narrated from him except Husayn. This is why the Hafiz said of him, "Acceptable," meaning when corroborated, but otherwise his hadith is weak.Ibn Sunni (479) narrated it by way of Sufyan, from Husayn bin Abdul-Rahman, from a man, from Muaz bin Zuhrah, with the wording, "Praise be to Allah, who helped me so I fasted, and provided for me so I broke my fast." Here he inserted an unnamed man between Husayn and Muaz.Likewise, what has been narrated from Anas is not valid, that the Prophet ﷺ, when breaking his fast, would say, "In the name of Allah, O Allah, for You I fasted, and upon Your provision I break my fast, accept this from me, for You are the Hearing, the Knowing." Tabarani narrated it in al-Saghir and al-Awsat, as well as in the Book of Supplication (918), and Abu Naeem narrated it in Akhbar Isfahan (2/217), by way of Ismail bin Amr al-Bajali, who said, our teacher told us Dawud bin Zubarqan, from Shubah, from Thabit, from Anas, and then he related it. Its isnad is extremely daif, for Dawud bin Zubarqan was abandoned as a source, as the Hafiz stated in "al-Talkhis" (2/202). Haythami mentioned it in "al-Majma" (3/156) and faulted it on account of Dawud bin Zubarqan, saying, "Daif." I would add that it also contains Ismail bin Amr, who narrated from him. Tabarani said, "Ismail bin Amr al-Bajali alone narrated it." Aqeeli said in "al-Duafa" (99), "His hadith contains disturbing reports, and he attributes things to those who cannot bear such attribution." Abu Hatim, Daraqutni, and others rated him daif, and he is among the men found in "al-Tahdhib" (1/320), though his biography has dropped out of some copies of "al-Taqrib," so take note.Likewise, what has been narrated from Ibn Abbas is not valid, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when breaking his fast, would say, "O Allah, for You we fasted, and upon Your provision we broke our fast, so accept this from us, for You are the Hearing, the Knowing." Daraqutni (2280) narrated it. Tabarani narrated it in "al-Kabir" (12/146), and Ibn Sunni in "Amal al-Yawm wal-Layla" (480), all of them from the hadith of Abdul-Malik bin Harun bin Antarah, from his father, from his grandfather, from Ibn Abbas, and then he related it. Its isnad is extremely daif, for Dhahabi said of Abdul-Malik bin Harun, "They abandoned him," and he quoted from Saadi that he was a fraud. As for Harun bin Antarah, Ibn Hibban mentioned him in "al-Majruhin" (1161) and said, "He is the one also called Harun bin Abu Waki. He is extremely unreliable in hadith, transmitting many disturbing reports, to the point that it occurs to the listener's mind that he does this deliberately, given how much he transmits that has no basis at all. It is not permissible to rely on him under any circumstance." End of quote. Yet Ibn Hibban then forgot about this and mentioned him again in "al-Thiqat" (5787) under the biography of Harun bin Abu Waki, saying, "Isa bin Yunus narrated from him."Haythami said in "al-Majma" (3/156), "It contains Abdul-Malik bin Harun, who is daif." This is a shortcoming on his part, for it also contains Harun bin Antarah, who is extremely daif. Daraqutni said of him, as recorded in "al-Duafa wal-Matrukin" (362), "Abandoned as a source."
