ʿAbd al-Ghaffār, narrated it from ʿĀṣim al-Aḥwal from Abū ʿUthmān from Salmān who said: "The prayer was prescribed as two rakʿahs [two rakʿahs], and the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) prayed it in Makkah until he arrived in Madīnah, and he prayed it in Madīnah as Allāh willed, and two rakʿahs were added to the prayer for residents, while the traveler's prayer remained as it was." It was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Awsaṭ" (2/31/2/5541 - my numbering) and he said: "No one narrated it from ʿĀṣim except ʿAmr, and it is not narrated from Salmān except through this isnād." I said: al-Haythamī said (2/156): "And in it is ʿAmr ibn ʿAbd al-Ghaffār, and he is abandoned." (Note): The addition of (two rakʿahs) in this ḥadīth of Salmān, I retrieved it from "Majmaʿ al-Zawāʾid", just as I retrieved it in the ḥadīth of al-Sāʾib mentioned earlier from the printed "al-Maṭālib al-ʿĀliyah" (1/180), and the attribution of the ḥadīth to Isḥāq was omitted! It appears that the verifier of the book, Shaykh al-Aʿẓamī, did not refer to the musnad version of "al-Maṭālib al-ʿĀliyah", otherwise he would have corrected this omission, and he would not have made the error in interpreting the previous statement in the ḥadīth: "and he approved it," as he said: "meaning Saʿd ibn Saʿīd approved it"! This is a pure error, and the correct statement is: "meaning Abū Usāmah approved it" as is apparent from the context of its isnād mentioned earlier (p. 745). And he is Abū Usāmah Ḥammād ibn Usāmah, one of the reliable teachers of the imams al-Shāfiʿī, Aḥmad, and Isḥāq ibn Rāhwayh. (Benefit): The preceding ḥadīths indicate that the traveler's prayer is an independent act in itself, and that it is
