Azami 5074

This was narrated by Abu Dawud (1911), and this is his wording, and Tirmidhi (880), both from the hadith of Amash, from Hakam, from Miqsam, from Ibn Abbas, as mentioned. The wording of Tirmidhi is, "He led the prayers of Dhuhr and Fajr at Mina, then set out in the morning to Arafat." It was also narrated by Imam Ahmad (2701), and Ibn Khuzayma (2799) declared it sahih, as did Hakim (1/461), all of them through this same route. Hakim said, "Sahih according to the criterion of Bukhari."However, Tirmidhi criticized it, saying, "Regarding the hadith of Miqsam from Ibn Abbas, Ali bin Madini said, Yahya said, Shuba said, Hakam heard only five things from Miqsam, and he counted them, and this hadith is not among what Shuba counted."Hakam is Ibn Utayba, one of the trustworthy and precise narrators, among the most reliable people regarding Ibrahim Nakhai, except that Shuba was very harsh toward him, because he had leanings toward Shiism that did not become apparent until after his death. Abu Awana says, "I heard four hundred hadiths from him, but I only narrated two of them, and I left the rest because of Shuba."So Shuba's statement, "Miqsam heard only five things from him, and this hadith is not among them," contains exaggeration. For this reason, the scholars did not accept Shuba's statement, and they included his hadith in their sahih collections, as mentioned above. It may also be said that he took the rest of the hadiths from a book, and if this book was handed to him directly by Miqsam, then this is one of the recognized methods of transmission. As for the possibility that it was a copy made without the teacher's knowledge, this is unlikely in the case of someone like Hakam, whom the scholars unanimously agreed was reliable.The hadith has another route that strengthens it, which is what Tirmidhi (879) and Ibn Majah (3004) narrated, both from the hadith of Ismail bin Muslim, from Ataa, from Ibn Abbas, who said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer at Mina, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr, then he set out in the morning to Arafat."Tirmidhi said, "Ismail bin Muslim has been criticized regarding his memory." I say, this is indeed the case, but he did not err in this instance, since there is a corroborating narration, and it has sound foundations, as mentioned previously.
