and among the things that confirm Ibn Ḥazm's error in that understanding is what was previously mentioned with an authentic isnād from Ibn ʿUmar, that when he prayed in Mecca and Minā for himself, he would shorten [the prayer], and when he prayed behind the imam, he would pray four [units]. So if Dāwūd's question was about the prayer of a traveler behind a resident, he would have given him this fatwá which he accepted for himself, to complete [the prayer] in this situation, as it is inconceivable that his fatwá would contradict his own practice. This is further supported by the fact that it is authentically reported that he gave this fatwá to others. ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated (2/542/4381) with an authentic isnād from Abū Majlaz who said: I said to Ibn ʿUmar: I caught one rakʿah of the prayer of the residents while I am a traveler? He said: Pray with their prayer. He mentioned it in "The Chapter of the Traveler Joining the Prayer of the Residents." And he mentioned other reports from some of the Tābiʿīn with the same meaning, except that some of them made a distinction, saying that if a traveler catches one rakʿah of the residents' prayer in Ẓuhr, he adds three more, and if he catches them sitting, he prays two rakʿahs. None of them narrated limiting it to two rakʿahs in all cases as is the opinion of Ibn Ḥazm! As for what he mentioned from the route of Shuʿbah from al-Mughīrah ibn Miqsam from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Tamīm ibn Ḥudhlam who said: "My father, when he caught one rakʿah of the resident's prayer while he was a traveler, he would add another to it, and if he caught two rakʿahs, he would suffice with them." Ibn Ḥazm said: "Tamīm ibn Ḥudhlam was among the senior companions of Ibn Masʿūd (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu)." I say: Yes, but despite its uniqueness from all the narrations I referred to in the chapter and mentioned some of them, his son ʿAbd al-Raḥmān is not well-known for narration, as al-Bukhārī mentioned him in "al-Tārīkh" (3/1/265) and Ibn Abī Ḥātim (2/2/218) without mentioning any criticism or praise. Ibn Abī Ḥātim mentioned that Abū Isḥāq al-Hamdānī also narrated from him, and Ibn Ḥibbān included him in "al-Thiqāt" (7/68) through the narration of al-Mughīrah. And the ḥāfiẓ said about him in "al-Taqrīb": "He used to practice tadlīs."
