750 - Muhammad ibn al-Sabbāh al-Bazzāz narrated to us, Sharīk narrated to us, from Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Laylā, from al-Barāʾ: that when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, began the prayer, he raised his hands to near his ears, then he did not repeat it.(1)

--------------------------------------------

(1) Its chain is weak due to the weakness of Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād — who is al-Hāshimī, their freed slave, of Kūfah — and the rest of its narrators are trustworthy, except for Sharīk — who is Ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Nakhaʿī — for he had a poor memory, but he is corroborated.

It was also recorded by Abū Yaʿlā (1690) via the chain of Sharīk, with this isnād.
It was recorded by al-Dāraquṭnī (1129) via the chain of Ismāʿīl ibn Zakariyyā, from Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād, with it.
It was recorded by Ibn Abī Shaybah 1/233, Aḥmad (18487), Yaʿqūb ibn Sufyān in "al-Maʿrifah wa-l-Tārīkh" 3/80, and Abū Yaʿlā (1658) and (1691) via the chain of Hushaym ibn Bashīr,
and Aḥmad (18674) and (18682), and al-Bayhaqī 2/26 via the chain of Asbaṭ ibn Muḥammad, and Aḥmad (18692), and Yaʿqūb ibn Sufyān 3/80, and al-Dāraquṭnī (1127) via the chain of Shuʿbah, and Aḥmad (18702), and ʿAbd al-Razzāq (2530), and al-Bukhārī in "Rafʿ al-Yadayn" (35), and Yaʿqūb ibn Sufyān 3/79-80, and al-Dāraquṭnī (1126) via the chain of Sufyān al-Thawrī, and Aḥmad in "al-ʿIlal" (715) via the chain of al-Jarrāḥ ibn Malīḥ al-Ruʾāsī, and Yaʿqūb ibn Sufyān 3/80, and al-Dāraquṭnī (1131) via the chain of Khālid ibn ʿAbd Allāh, and Abū Yaʿlā (1692) via the chain of Ibn Idrīs, and al-Dāraquṭnī (1132) via the chain of ʿAlī ibn ʿĀṣim, from Muḥammad ibn Abī Laylā, and al-Khaṭīb in "Tārīkh Baghdād" 5/41 via the chain of Ḥamzah ibn Ḥabīb al-Zayyāt, and 7/254 via the chain of Jarīr ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd — all ten from Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād, with it. But they did not mention in it: "then he did not repeat it." Al-Dāraquṭnī said: ʿAlī ibn ʿĀṣim said: When I arrived in Kūfah, it was said to me: Yazīd is still alive, so I went to him and he narrated this ḥadīth to me... Then I said to him: Ibn Abī Laylā told me that you said: "then he did not repeat it." He said: I do not remember this. I repeated it to him, and he said: I do not remember it.

And see the narration of Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah from Yazīd that follows after this, and see (752).
