- "He led us in prayer in Medina, eight [units] and seven: the noon and afternoon, and the sunset and night prayers." It was recorded by the two Shaykhs [al-Bukhārī and Muslim], and Abū ʿAwānah in their "Ṣaḥīḥ" collections and others from numerous paths from Ḥammād ibn Zayd from ʿAmr ibn Dīnār from Jābir ibn Zayd from Ibn ʿAbbās who said: and he mentioned it as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. It is also referenced in "Irwāʾ al-Ghalīl" (3/36) and "Ṣaḥīḥ Abī Dāwūd" (1099), so whoever wishes may refer to them. The purpose here is to highlight two important misconceptions: the first is that Abū al-Nuʿmān contradicted all the paths by adding at the end of the ḥadīth: "Ayyūb said: Perhaps it was on a rainy night? He said: Maybe." This addition is considered anomalous by me because Abū al-Nuʿmān alone reported it, and his name is Muḥammad ibn al-Faḍl al-Sadūsī, a teacher of al-Bukhārī in this regard, and he had changed, but the ḥāfiẓ mentioned in the "Introduction to al-Fatḥ" that al-Bukhārī heard from him before his confusion for a period, otherwise, I would have said: It is a rejected addition. The ḥāfiẓ also criticized it for another reason, saying in "al-Fatḥ" (2/23-24): "The possibility of rain was also mentioned by Mālik after narrating this ḥadīth from Abū al-Zubayr from Saʿīd ibn Jubayr from Ibn ʿAbbās similarly. And he said after the statement: 'in Medina, without fear or travel,' Mālik said: Perhaps it was in rain. But it was narrated by Muslim and the authors of the Sunan from the path of Ḥabīb ibn Abī Thābit from Saʿīd ibn Jubayr with the wording: 'without fear or rain,' thus negating that the mentioned combination was due to fear, travel, or rain." I say: This is further confirmed by the narration of Abū al-Zubayr from Saʿīd, who said:
