78 - Chapter: On the question of the reciter when he passes by a verse of mercy

1009 - Muhammad ibn Adam informed us, from Hafs ibn Ghiyath, from al-'Ala' ibn al-Musayyab, from 'Amr ibn Murrah, from Talhah ibn Yazid, from Hudhayfah. And al-A'mash, from Sa'd ibn 'Ubaydah, from al-Mustawrid ibn al-Ahnaf, from Silah ibn Zufar, from Hudhayfah, that the Prophet, peace be upon him, recited Surah al-Baqarah, Al 'Imran, and al-Nisa' in one rak'ah; he did not pass by a verse of mercy except that he asked, nor by a verse of punishment except that he sought refuge.

================================

Also recorded by Ahmad (23240) and (23344), Abu Dawud (871), al-Tirmidhi (262), and Ibn Hibban (2604) and (2605) via multiple chains from Shu'bah, from him. The two narrations of Ibn Hibban are abridged, mentioning only its first portion.

Also recorded by Ahmad (23261), Muslim (772) in extended form, and Ibn Majah (1351) in abridged form mentioning only its first portion, via the route of Abu Mu'awiyah, from al-A'mash, from him. In Ibn Majah's version there is an addition: "And when he passed by a verse containing glorification of Allah, he would say tasbih." This will come via this route under number (1046) in abridged form in the chapter on remembrance in ruku' and sujud.

It will also come in extended and abridged forms under the numbers: (1009), (1046), (1133), and (1664) via multiple chains from al-A'mash, from him.

It will also come in extended and abridged forms under the numbers (1009) and (1665) via the route of al-'Ala' ibn al-Musayyab, from 'Amr ibn Murrah, from Talhah ibn Yazid, from Hudhayfah, from him.

It will also come in extended form under the numbers (1069) and (1145) via the route of Shu'bah, from 'Amr ibn Murrah, from Abu Hamzah, from a man of 'Abs, from Hudhayfah, from him.

(1) His saying: "And al-A'mash" is coordinated with his saying: "al-'Ala' ibn al-Musayyab."

(2) In the margin of (K): "nor a verse," and in (H): "nor did he pass by a verse," and above the word "yamurr" there is a variant marking.

(3) Its chain is authentic via the route of al-A'mash, and weak via the route of al-'Ala' ibn al-Musayyab due to its disconnection, because Talhah ibn Yazid did not hear anything from Hudhayfah, as the author mentioned following the hadith that comes under number (1665). And Talhah — even though none narrated from him except 'Amr ibn Murrah — was declared trustworthy by al-Nasa'i in "al-Sunan al-Kubra" (2689), and Ibn Hibban mentioned him in "al-Thiqat." The rest of its narrators are also trustworthy, except that al-Hakim said of al-'Ala' ibn al-Musayyab (as in the Tahdhib of al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar): "He has errors in chain and text." End quote. Perhaps this is one of them, for the author said in (1665): "Other than al-'Ala' said in this hadith: from Talhah, from a man, from Hudhayfah." End quote. =
