77 - Chapter: The Reader Seeking Refuge When Passing by a Verse of Punishment

1008 - Muhammad ibn Bashshar informed us, saying: Yahya, 'Abd al-Rahman, and Ibn Abi 'Adiyy narrated to us, from Shu'bah, from Sulayman, from Sa'd ibn 'Ubaydah, from al-Mustawrid ibn al-Ahnaf, from Silah ibn Zufar, from Hudhayfah, that he prayed beside the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, one night. He (the Prophet) recited, and when he passed by a verse of punishment, he stopped and sought refuge (with Allah), and when he passed by a verse of mercy, he stopped and supplicated. And he would say in his bowing: "Glory be to my Lord, the Magnificent," and in his prostration: "Glory be to my Lord, the Most High."

= And 'Abdullah ibn al-Musayyib al-'Abidi, except for the narration of Ahmad (15397), for it does not contain 'Abdullah ibn al-Musayyib.

And this 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr: he is Ibn 'Abd al-Qari, or 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr al-'Abidi al-Makhzumi. Some of Ibn Jurayj's companions erred regarding him — as occurred in the narrations of Ahmad (15394), (15395), and (15400), and the narration of Muslim, and the narration of Ibn Hibban (1815) — and said: 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As. Al-Mizzi drew attention to this in his "Tahdhib al-Kamal" in the biographies of 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr al-Qari and al-Makhzumi, as did al-Nawawi in "Sharh Muslim" 4/177, and Ibn Hajar in "Fath al-Bari" 2/256.

And Khalid ibn al-Harith was contradicted in his narration from Ibn Jurayj in this chain of transmission:

For Ibn Majah (820) recorded it via the path of Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah, from Ibn Jurayj, from Ibn Abi Mulaykah, from 'Abdullah ibn al-Sa'ib, with similar wording.

And Abu 'Asim narrated it — as in "al-Fath" 2/256 — from him (Ibn Jurayj), from Muhammad ibn 'Abbad, from Abu Salamah ibn Sufyan, or Sufyan ibn Abi Salamah. Ibn Hajar said in "al-Fath": It is as though al-Bukhari suspended it with the formula "and it is mentioned" due to this discrepancy, even though its chain of transmission is one by which proof is established. End quote. Al-Bukhari suspended it in his "Sahih" with the wording: "And it is mentioned from 'Abdullah ibn al-Sa'ib..." before hadith (774 m).

And it has preceded in abbreviated form under number (776).

(1) In (M): "and he sought refuge."
(2) Its chain of transmission is authentic. Yahya: he is Ibn Sa'id al-Qattan, and 'Abd al-Rahman: he is Ibn Mahdi, and Ibn Abi 'Adiyy: he is Muhammad ibn Ibrahim, and Sulayman: he is Ibn Mihran al-A'mash. It is in "al-Sunan al-Kubra" under number (1082).

And al-Tirmidhi (263) recorded it from Muhammad ibn Bashshar, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi alone, with this chain of transmission. =
