Hāni’, on the authority of Abū Ḥudhayfah, on the authority of ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Muḥammad ibn Bashīr(1), on the authority of ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAlqamah al-Thaqafī, who said: The delegation of Thaqīf came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and with them was a gift. He said: "Is it a gift or charity? For if it is a gift, then by it is sought the face of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and the fulfillment of a need; and if it is charity, then by it is sought the face of Allah, Mighty and Majestic." They said: No, rather it is a gift. So he accepted it from them, and sat with them, asking them and they asking him(3), until he prayed the noon prayer with the afternoon prayer.(4)

3759 - Abū ʿĀṣim Khushaysh ibn Aṣram informed us, saying: ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated to us, saying: [chain continues]--------------------------------------------
(1) Thus in the manuscript copies and in "al-Sunan al-Kubrā" (6557) and "al-Tuḥfah" (9707) and "al-Tahdhīb," and Ibn Ḥajar in "al-Taqrīb" recorded it as "Nusayr" with a nūn and an unpointed sīn, in diminutive form; likewise Ibn Mākūlā recorded it in "al-Ikmāl" 1/302, and Ibn Nāṣir al-Dīn in "Tawḍīḥ al-Mushtabih" 1/540.
(2) In (M): fa-innahu, with "innamā" written above it (a variant copy).
(3) In (M) and the margin of (H): wa-yas'alūnahu; and in (H): yas'aluhum wa-yas'alūnahu.
(4) Its chain is weak, due to the unknown status of Abū Ḥudhayfah, said to be named ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad al-Kūfī, and the unknown status of ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Muḥammad ibn Bashīr; moreover, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAlqamah al-Thaqafī's companionship [of the Prophet] is not established, as Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr mentioned in "al-Istīʿāb" and others, so the report is mursal. It is in "al-Sunan al-Kubrā" under number (6557).
Al-ʿUqaylī cited it in "al-Ḍuʿafā'" 3/33 (entry on ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Muḥammad ibn Bashīr) and said: It is not corroborated, and it is not known except through him; and he quoted al-Bukhārī as saying: It is not clear that some of them heard from others. End quote. And al-Bukhārī's statement is in his "al-Tārīkh al-Kabīr" 5/431.
Al-Mizzī cited it in "Tuḥfat al-Ashrāf" 7/204 (9707) and said: And Aḥmad ibn Yūnus narrated it, from Zuhayr ibn Muʿāwiyah, from Yazīd ibn Abī Khālid al-Asadī, from ʿAwn ibn Abī Juḥayfah, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī ʿUqayl, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. End quote. And al-Tirmidhī referred to it following the ḥadīth of Bahz ibn Ḥakīm from his father from his grandfather (656).
It is authentically established of him, peace and blessings be upon him, that he used to accept gifts and did not accept charity, as in the ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah in al-Bukhārī (2576) and Muslim (1077); and it is authentically established of him as well that he combined the noon and afternoon prayers and the sunset and evening prayers without fear or travel, as has preceded in the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAbbās (601).
