Azami 4933

Abu Dawud (1797) and Nasai (2745) both narrated it via Yahya bin Main, who said, "Hajjaj narrated to us, Yunus narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from Bara," and he related the hadith.Its chain is hasan because of Yunus, who is the son of Abu Ishaq, for there is disagreement about him, though his hadith is hasan. His father, Abu Ishaq, was accused of confusion in his later years, but his confusion was not severe, it was only due to his advanced age. That is why Dhahabi rejected the claim that he suffered confusion, saying in Mizan, "He was one of the leading and most reliable of the Tabiin in Kufa, except that he grew old and forgetful, but he did not become confused. Sufyan bin Uyayna heard from him, and he had changed slightly."Ibn Salah limited those who narrated from him after his confusion to Ibn Uyayna alone. I say, it is not as he claimed. Rather, Abu Bakr bin Ayyash also heard from him after his confusion, as Abu Hatim said, "Abu Bakr bin Ayyash's hearing from Abu Ishaq is not that strong." See Ilal (35/1).I say, that is why what Ibn Majah (2982), Ahmad (18523), and Abu Yaala (1672) narrated is flawed, all of them via Abu Bakr bin Ayyash, from Abu Ishaq, from Bara, who said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions came out to us, and we entered ihram for Hajj. When we arrived in Makkah, he said, 'Make your Hajj into an Umrah.' The people said, 'Messenger of Allah, we have already entered ihram for Hajj, so how can we make it an Umrah?' He said, 'Look at what I have commanded you and do it.' They repeated their objection to him, so he became angry and left. Then he went to Ayesha, angry, and she saw the anger on his face, so she said, 'Who made you angry? May Allah make him angry!' He said, 'Why should I not be angry when I give a command and it is not followed!'"Busiri, in Zawaid bin Majah, faulted it because of Abu Bakr bin Ayyash, since it was not clear to him whether he narrated from him before or after his confusion. The hadith has another flaw, which is that it was made part of the musnad of Bara bin Azib, though Bara bin Azib was not present when the Prophet ﷺ said this. Rather, this was an incident that occurred with Ali bin Abu Talib and Fatimah, and Bara is simply the narrator of this story. So his statement, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions came out to us, and we entered ihram for Hajj," contains an irregularity.Haythami erred by mentioning it in Majma (3/233), even though it does not meet his stated criteria. He then attributed it to Abu Yaala alone, failing to also attribute it to Imam Ahmad. His statement, "Its narrators are the narrators of Sahih," is problematic, since Muslim only included Abu Bakr bin Ayyash in the introduction of his Sahih.Imam Ahmad became angry when Salama bin Shabib said to him, "Abu Abdullah, everything about you is good in my view except for one trait!" He said, "What is it?" He said, "You hold the view of converting Hajj into Umrah." He said, "Salama, I used to think you had good sense. I have eleven sahih hadiths on this matter from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, should I abandon them for your opinion?" Hafiz bin Qayyim mentioned this in Zad Mad (183/2).
