30 - Chapter on the fasting person who has a wet dream during the day in Ramadan

2376 - Muhammad ibn Kathir narrated to us, Sufyan informed us, from Zayd ibn Aslam, from a man among his companions, from a man among the companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "The one who vomits does not break his fast, nor the one who has a wet dream, nor the one who is cupped."(1)

(1) Its chain of transmission is weak due to the ambiguity of the shaykh of Zayd ibn Aslam, and there is disagreement regarding Sufyan—who is Ibn Sa'id al-Thawri—as to whether it was raised to the Prophet or stopped at a companion. It was narrated from him as raised, like the narrator's version, by Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi, Abu Asim al-Nabil, and Muhammad ibn Yusuf al-Firyabi, all three of them in Ibn Khuzaymah (1973), (1974), and (1975). Likewise, Abd al-Razzaq narrated it from him in al-Bayhaqi 4/264 as raised, although it appears in his "Musannaf" (7538) from al-Thawri as stopped at a companion!

Al-Bayhaqi also transmitted it in 4/220 via the path of Abu Dawud with this chain.

Ma'mar followed Sufyan in raising it, from Zayd ibn Aslam, according to Abd al-Razzaq in his "Musannaf" (7538), and via his path Ibn Khuzaymah (1974).

Al-Tirmidhi transmitted it (728) via the path of Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn Aslam, from his father, from Ata' ibn Yasar, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Thus he named the ambiguous figures in Sufyan's narration, and they are: Ata' ibn Yasar from Abu Sa'id, and Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn Aslam is weak.

Ibn Khuzaymah said following (1973): Had this report been from Ata' ibn Yasar, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, al-Thawri would have mentioned them by name and would not have remained silent about their names, saying: "from a companion of his, from a man." Rather, one only says in reports: "from a companion of his" and "from a man" when it is not well-known.

Abd al-Razzaq also transmitted it (7539), and via his path Ibn Khuzaymah (1976), from Abu Bakr ibn Abd Allah—who is Ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Sabrah—and Ibn Khuzaymah (1977) and (1978) via the path of Hisham ibn Sa'd, both of them from Zayd ibn Aslam, from Ata' ibn Yasar, from a man among the companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Abu Bakr ibn Abd Allah ibn Abi Sabrah raised it to the Prophet, while Hisham ibn Sa'd transmitted it as a suspended report (mursal). Abu Bakr ibn Abd Allah ibn Abi Sabrah is abandoned (matruk), and Hisham ibn Sa'd is weak but considered for corroboration. Ibn Khuzaymah said following (1978): I heard Muhammad ibn Yahya say: This report =
