The others prostrated, then he gave the greeting of peace to them, so it was for all of them two rak'ahs each with their imam. And he prayed once in the land of Banu Sulaym (1).

1551 - Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-A'la and Isma'il ibn Mas'ud informed us—and the wording is his—they said: Khalid narrated to us, from Ash'ath, from al-Hasan,
from Abu Bakrah, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, led the people in the fear prayer for two rak'ahs, then gave the greeting of peace, then led the other people for two rak'ahs, then gave the greeting of peace. So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed four (2).

1552 - Ibrahim ibn Ya'qub informed me, he said: 'Amr ibn 'Asim narrated to us, he said: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Qatadah, from al-Hasan,
from Jabir ibn 'Abd Allah, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed two rak'ahs with a group of his companions, then gave the greeting of peace, then prayed two rak'ahs with the others as well, then gave the greeting of peace (3).

(1) Its chain of transmission is authentic like the one before it. It is in "Al-Sunan al-Kubra" under number (1951).
Al-Sindi said: His statement "ghirrah": meaning negligence in the noon prayer, they meant: if we had attacked them, it would have been better.
(2) Authentic due to corroborating evidence, and this chain of transmission has trustworthy narrators, but al-Hasan—who is al-Basri—is a mudallis, and he narrated it with 'an'anah. Khalid: he is ibn al-Harith al-Hujaymi, and Ash'ath: he is ibn 'Abd al-Malik al-Humrani. Someone other than him narrated it—as in the following narration—from al-Hasan, from Jabir. It is in "Al-Sunan al-Kubra" under numbers (521) and (1952), and in the first place it is from Isma'il ibn Mas'ud alone.
It has preceded via the route of Yahya al-Qattan, from Ash'ath, with it, under number (836), and it will also come under number (1555).
(3) An authentic hadith, but this chain of transmission is weak due to its interruption; al-Hasan—who is al-Basri—did not hear from Jabir. Qatadah: he is ibn Di'amah al-Sadusi.
There is disagreement regarding its chain of transmission from al-Hasan:
Qatadah narrated it—as here and in "Al-Sunan al-Kubra" (1953)—and Yunus ibn 'Ubayd—as will come in =
