Abu Dawud said: Wuhaib ibn Khalid narrated it from Ayyub with his chain of transmission similarly. Ja'far ibn Rabi'ah and Hisham ibn Hassan also narrated it from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbas similarly.

2373 - Hafs ibn 'Umar narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, from Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad, from Miqsam, from Ibn 'Abbas: that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was cupped while he was fasting and in a state of ihram.

--------------------------------------------
(1) Its chain of transmission is weak due to the weakness of Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad — who is al-Hashimi al-Kufi — while the rest of its narrators are trustworthy except Miqsam — who is Ibn Bujrah, and it is also said: Najdah — for he is truthful with good hadith. The hadith is authentic in a different wording, as will come in the takhrij. Shu'bah: he is Ibn al-Hajjaj.

Ibn Majah also narrated it (1682) and (3081), al-Tirmidhi (787), and al-Nasa'i in "al-Kubra" (3212) and (3213) via the route of Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad, with this chain of transmission. Al-Tirmidhi said: a hasan sahih hadith. Al-Nasa'i did not mention ihram in his narration (3212).

It is also in "Musnad Ahmad" (2589).

Al-Nasa'i also narrated it (3211) and (3214) via the route of Shu'bah, from al-Hakam, from Miqsam, from Ibn 'Abbas. He said: al-Hakam did not hear it from Miqsam.

Al-Nasa'i also narrated it (3215) via the route of Sharik, from Khusaif ibn 'Abd al-Rahman al-Jazari, from Miqsam, with it. Both Sharik and Khusaif had poor memory.

Al-Bukhari narrated it (3938), al-Tirmidhi (785), and al-Nasa'i (2306) via the route of 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbas who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was cupped while he was in a state of ihram, and he was cupped while he was fasting. This is the correct wording of the hadith, and some narrators abbreviated it, giving the impression that he, peace and blessings be upon him, combined cupping with travel and fasting together. The correct understanding is that he combined cupping with travel on one occasion, and cupping with fasting on another.

Al-Humaidi said, as quoted from him by al-Hafiz in "al-Talkhis al-Habir" 2/192 regarding the narration of Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad, "while he was fasting and in a state of ihram": this is erroneous, because he was not fasting while in a state of ihram, for he went out in Ramadan during the Conquest expedition, and he was not in a state of ihram. Ibn Hajar quoted there from Ahmad and Ibn al-Madini the declaration of defect in Yazid's narration.
