131 - Chapter: The Amount of Recitation in the Maghrib Prayer

810 - Narrated to us al-Qa'nabi, from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Utbah, from Ibn 'Abbas: That Umm al-Fadl bint al-Harith heard him reciting {By the winds sent forth in succession} (al-Mursalat), and she said: "O my son, you have reminded me by your recitation of this surah. Indeed, it was the last thing I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, recite in the Maghrib prayer."(1)

811 - Narrated to us al-Qa'nabi, from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from Muhammad ibn Jubayr ibn Mut'im

= And His saying: "or 'usiyya" — with dammah on the 'ayn and kasrah on the sin. Ibn al-Jawzi said in "Zad al-Masir" 5/211 (in our verification): It is the reading of Ibn 'Abbas and Mujahid. And "al-'utuw" is dryness and hardness in the joints and bones, like a dry, withered stick. It is said: "ata ya'tu" — when it becomes dry and hard. Al-Tabari said: He means: "And I have become dry from old age, so I have become thin-boned and dry." It is said of a dry stick: "a stick 'atin and 'asin," and indeed "ata ya'tu 'itiyyan wa 'utuwwan," and "asa ya'su 'isiyyan wa 'usuwwan." And everything that reaches its utmost limit in old age or corruption is "atin" and "asin."

(1) Its chain of transmission is authentic. Al-Qa'nabi: he is 'Abd Allah ibn Maslamah, and Ibn Shihab: he is al-Zuhri.
It is in "Muwatta' Malik" 1/78, and from his path al-Bukhari (763) and Muslim (462) extracted it.
And al-Bukhari (4429), Muslim (462), al-Tirmidhi (308), al-Nasa'i in "al-Kubra" (1060), and Ibn Majah (831) extracted it from various paths from al-Zuhri, with this chain of transmission.
It is in "Musnad Ahmad" (26868) and (26884), and "Sahih Ibn Hibban" (1832). And al-Nasa'i (985) extracted it from the path of Humayd, from Anas, from Umm al-Fadl bint al-Harith.
And in this chain of transmission there is an error whose clarification has preceded in "Musnad Ahmad" (26871).
And this Umm al-Fadl: she is the mother of Ibn 'Abbas, and her name is Lubabah, known by the kunyah Umm al-Fadl after her son al-Fadl ibn 'Abbas, and she is the sister of Maymunah, the wife of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
