1748 — ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿUmar narrated to us, ʿAbd al-Aʿlā narrated to us, Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq narrated to us, from Nāfiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, matted his hair with honey.(1)

12 — Chapter on the sacrificial animals (al-hady)

1749 — al-Nufaylī narrated to us, Muḥammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq narrated to us (ḥ)
And Muḥammad ibn Minhāl narrated to us, Yazīd ibn Zurayʿ narrated to us, from Ibn Isḥāq — the meaning — who said: ʿAbd Allāh — meaning Ibn Abī Najīḥ — said: Mujāhid narrated to me, from Ibn ʿAbbās, that the Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings be upon him, offered as a gift in the year of al-Ḥudaybiyyah, among the gifts of the Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings be upon him, a camel that had belonged to Abū Jahl, on whose head was a silver nose-ring — Ibn Minhāl said: a nose-ring of gold — al-Nufaylī added: thereby enraging the polytheists.(2)

(1) Its chain is weak. Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq did not explicitly state that he heard it. Nevertheless, al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Kathīr deemed its chain good in al-Bidāyah wa al-Nihāyah! ʿAbd al-Aʿlā: he is Ibn ʿAbd al-Aʿlā al-Qurashī, and Nāfiʿ: he is the freed slave of Ibn ʿUmar.
It was also recorded by al-Ḥākim 1/450 and al-Bayhaqī 5/36 via the chain of ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿUmar, with this chain, though al-Ḥākim did not mention the honey.

(2) Ḥasan (good), and Ibn Isḥāq's explicit statement of hearing in the narration of Imām Aḥmad (2362) and others contains a pause, as we have clarified in our commentary on al-Musnad, but Ibn Isḥāq was not alone in it; rather, he was followed, so the ḥadīth is ḥasan, if Allāh wills. al-Nufaylī: he is ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad al-Nufaylī al-Quḍāʿī, and Mujāhid: he is Ibn Jabr al-Makhzūmī.
It was also recorded by Ibn Mājah (3100) via the chain of Miqsam, the freed slave of Ibn ʿAbbās, from Ibn ʿAbbās, and in the chain to him is Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Laylā, whose ḥadīth is suitable for consideration.
It is in Musnad Aḥmad (2079) and (2362). =
