On the authority of Ibn ʿAbbās: that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ate a sheep's shoulder, then prayed and did not perform ablution (1).

188 - We were told by ʿUthmān ibn Abī Shaybah and Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān al-Anbārī — with the same meaning — they said: We were told by Wakīʿ, from Misʿar, from Abū Ṣakhrah Jāmiʿ ibn Shaddād, from al-Mughīrah ibn ʿAbd Allāh, from al-Mughīrah ibn Shuʿbah, who said: I was a guest of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, one night. He ordered that a foreleg be roasted, and he took the knife and began cutting pieces of it for me. He said: Then Bilāl came and informed him of the prayer. He said: He threw down the knife and said: "What is the matter with him? May his hands be dust-covered!" And he stood up (2). Al-Anbārī added: And my moustache had grown long, so he trimmed it for me with a tooth-stick. Or he said: "Shall I trim it for you with a tooth-stick?" (3).

(1) Its chain of transmission is sound. It is in the "Muwaṭṭaʾ of Mālik" 1/25, and from his transmission al-Bukhārī (207) and Muslim (354) narrated it. It was also narrated in similar form by al-Bukhārī (5405), Muslim (354), and al-Nasāʾī in the "Sunan al-Kubrā" (187) via multiple chains from Ibn ʿAbbās. It is in the "Musnad of Aḥmad" (1988) and "Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān" (1143) and (1144). It will also come later under numbers (189) and (190).

(2) In copies (b) and (h): "And he stood up to pray."

(3) Its chain of transmission is good. Al-Mughīrah ibn ʿAbd Allāh — he is Ibn Abī ʿAqīl al-Yashkurī — a number of narrators reported from him, and al-ʿIjlī and Ibn Ḥibbān declared him trustworthy, and Muslim narrated from him one single hadith on predestination. The rest of its narrators are trustworthy. Wakīʿ: he is Ibn al-Jarrāḥ, and Misʿar: he is Ibn Kidām. Al-Nasāʾī also narrated it in the "Sunan al-Kubrā" (6621) via the chain of Misʿar, with this chain of transmission, without the story of the moustache. It is complete in the "Musnad of Aḥmad" (18212).
