and the ḥadīth has been transmitted in a connected form by al-Bayhaqī through the route of Abū Bakr al-Ismāʿīlī: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Muslim narrated to us—from the original of his book—Aḥmad ibn Abī Rajāʾ al-Muṣīṣī—a venerable shaykh—narrated to us: Wakīʿ narrated to us: al-Aʿmash narrated to us from al-Qāsim ibn Muḥammad from Ibn ʿUmar in a marfūʿ form with the wording: "When he intended to relieve himself, he would withdraw and not raise his clothes until he was close to the ground." This al-Muṣīṣī is the son of ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Abī Rajāʾ, and al-Nasāʾī said: "There is no harm in him." And he once said: "Trustworthy," and Ibn Ḥibbān mentioned him among the trustworthy. As for ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Muslim, he is Abū Bakr al-Isfarāʾīnī, the reliable ḥāfiẓ, who has a biography in "Tadhkirat al-Ḥuffāẓ." He died in the year 318. And Abū Bakr al-Ismāʿīlī is the author of the "Mustakhraj ʿalá al-Ṣaḥīḥ," and he is too well-known to require mention. His name is Aḥmad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAbbās ibn Mirdās, and he also has a biography in "al-Tadhkirah" (3/149-151) and in "al-Anṣāb" by al-Samʿānī. Thus, the ḥadīth has been authentically transmitted in a connected form with a sound isnād, for al-Qāsim ibn Muḥammad is the son of Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq and is a trustworthy authority. This is a valuable benefit. Ibn ʿUmar has another ḥadīth, which is: "He used to go for his need to al-Mughammis." Nāfiʿ said: "Al-Mughammis is two or three miles from Mecca."

"He used to go for his need to al-Mughammis." Nāfiʿ said: "Al-Mughammis is two or three miles from Mecca." Authentic. It was narrated by al-Sirāj in "the second" of "the first" of "his Musnad" (20/2): Muḥammad ibn Sahl ibn ʿAskar narrated to us: Ibn Abī Maryam narrated to us: Nāfiʿ ibn ʿUmar narrated to us from ʿAmr ibn Dīnār from Ibn ʿUmar in a marfūʿ form. I said: And this isnād is authentic according to the conditions of Muslim, and ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq al-Ishbīlī mentioned it in "Kitāb al-Tahajjud" (3/1) and said: "It is an authentic ḥadīth mentioned by Abū Jaʿfar al-Ṭabarī," and he remained silent about it in "al-Aḥkām al-Kubrā" (no. 159), and it was also narrated by Ibn al-Sakan in "his Sunan."
