Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAyyāsh narrated this ḥadīth from ʿUmārah ibn Ghaziyyah, from Anas ibn Mālik, from ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, from the Prophet ﷺ, similar to this.¹

This ḥadīth is not preserved (ghayr maḥfūẓ), and it is a mursal ḥadīth—ʿUmārah ibn Ghaziyyah did not meet Anas ibn Mālik.²

= from his father, with this chain of transmission.

Bashal also transmitted it in *Tārīkh Wāsiṭ*, pp. 65–66, al-Dūlābī 2/50, and al-Bayhaqī in *Shuʿab al-Īmān* (2874) via multiple paths from Khālid ibn Ṭahmān, from him. Bashal said in his narration: "Whoever prays the morning prayer with the imam for forty mornings."

Al-Bayhaqī also transmitted it (2875) from Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥāfiẓ with his chain to Khālid ibn Ṭahmān, from Ḥabīb, from Anas—Abū ʿAbd Allāh said: "I think he raised it"—who said: "Whoever prays the morning prayer and the final evening prayer in congregation, missing no rakʿah, Allah writes for him…" etc.

Ibn ʿAdī transmitted something similar as marfūʿ in 2/810 and 3/891 via ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Abān, from Khālid ibn Ṭahmān, from a shaykh, from Anas, from the Prophet ﷺ. And ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Abān is abandoned in ḥadīth (matrūk al-ḥadīth).

See what precedes it.

¹ Its chain is weak. Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAyyāsh al-Ḥimṣī is weak in his narrations from non-Syrians, and this is one of them, for it is his narration from a Medinan. Moreover, it is also interrupted (munqaṭiʿ), for ʿUmārah ibn Ghaziyyah did not hear from Anas, as the author and al-Dāraquṭnī mentioned.

Ibn Mājah transmitted it (798) and al-Bayhaqī in *Shuʿab al-Īmān* (2876) via multiple paths from Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAyyāsh, with this chain. Its wording is: "Whoever prays in a mosque in congregation for forty nights, missing not the first rakʿah of the evening prayer, Allah writes for him thereby freedom from the Fire." This is the wording of Ibn Mājah, and in al-Bayhaqī's narration it occurs as "the noon prayer" instead of "the evening prayer."

See the two preceding narrations.
