as for his statement: that al-Ḍaḥḥāk ibn Qays is disputed regarding his companionship, it is perhaps a slip of the pen by al-Mundhirī, for I have not seen anyone mention a dispute about his companionship. Rather, al-Ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Iṣābah" after quoting al-Bukhārī's statement in "al-Tārīkh" (2/2/332) "he had companionship": "Some doubted the authenticity of his hearing from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), but there is no issue with it, as the least that was said about his age at the death of the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) is that he was eight years old." Then I found a reliable follow-up for Saʿīd ibn Sulaymān al-Wāsiṭī, which is (Suraij ibn Yūnus): ʿUbaydah ibn Ḥumayd informed us of it. It was recorded by Ibn ʿAsākir in "Tārīkh Dimashq" (8/410). For this reason, it was transferred to "al-Ṣaḥīḥ" in the final edition (p. 530).
وأما قوله: إن الضحاك بن قيس مختلف في صحبته، فلعله سبق قلم من المنذري، فإني لم أر أحدا ذكر الخلاف في صحبته، بل قال الحافظ في "الإصابة" بعد أن نقل قول البخاري في "التاريخ" (٢ / ٢ / ٣٣٢) "له صحبة": "واستبعد بعضهم صحة سماعه من النبي ﷺ، ولا بعد فيه، فإن أقل ما قيل في سنه عند موت النبي ﷺ أنه كان ابن ثمان سنين". ثم وجدت لسعيد بن سليمان الواسطي متابعا ثقة، وهو (سريج بن يونس): أخبرنا عبيدة بن حميد به. أخرجه ابن عساكر في "تاريخ دمشق" (٨ / ٤١٠). ولهذا نقل إلى "الصحيح" في آخر طبعته الثانية (ص ٥٣٠).
- "Remove [from yourself] your clothes, perform ghusl, and cleanse yourself as much as you can. Whatever you were going to do for your ḥajj, do it for your ʿumrah." It was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Awsaṭ" (1/98/2003), Ibn Abī Ḥātim in "Tafsīr", and Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr in "al-Tamhīd" (2/251) from three routes from Muḥammad ibn Sābiq who said: Ibrāhīm ibn Ṭahmān informed us from Abū al-Zubayr from ʿAṭāʾ ibn Abī Rabāḥ from Ṣafwān ibn Umayyah who said: A man came to the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) covered in perfume, wearing cut garments, having entered into the state of iḥrām for ʿumrah, and said: How do you command me, O Messenger of Allāh, regarding my ʿumrah? Then Allāh revealed: * (And complete the ḥajj and ʿumrah for Allāh) * (Sūrah al-Baqarah, 196). The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: "Where is the one who asked about the ʿumrah?!" He said: [Here] I am [here]. He said: so he mentioned it. And Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr said:
- "ألق [عنك] ثيابك واغتسل، واستنق ما استطعت، وما كنت صانعا في حجتك، فاصنعه في عمرتك". أخرجه الطبراني في "المعجم الأوسط" (١ / ٩٨ / ٢٠٠٣) وابن أبي حاتم في "تفسيره"، وابن عبد البر في "التمهيد" (٢ / ٢٥١) من طرق ثلاث عن محمد بن سابق قال: أخبرنا إبراهيم بن طهمان عن أبي الزبير عن عطاء بن أبي رباح عن صفوان ابن أمية قال: جاء رجل إلى رسول الله ﷺ متضمخ بالخلوق، عليه مقطعات قد أحرم بعمرة، فقال: كيف تأمرني يا رسول الله في عمرتي؟ فأنزل الله ﷿: * (وأتموا الحج والعمرة لله) *. فقال رسول الله ﷺ: "أين السائل عن العمرة؟!". فقال: [ها] أنا [ذا]. فقال: فذكره. وقال ابن عبد البر:
