a note on misconceptions: First: Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allāh have mercy on him) in "His Guidance in the Two Eids" from his valuable book "Zād al-Maʿād" narrated the ḥadīth of the chapter in its entirety, but with the wording: "and he stands on his mount"! He did not attribute it to anyone, yet the commentators on it claimed (1/445): "Its isnād is authentic, and the author will mention the men of the chain shortly"! Thus they said! However, there is no mention of the word "mount" as will be shown. And I see - and Allāh knows best - that the context in "Zād" is from Ibn Mājah, differing from it only in a few letters, because its wording in the printed copies is as mentioned except for "mount," which in them is "his feet," so it appears that the version of Ibn Mājah that Ibn al-Qayyim had contained the wording "his mount"! Therefore, Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allāh have mercy on him) followed it by saying: "It used to occur to me that this is a misconception, for the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) would go out to the Eid walking with the spear in front of him, and he only delivered a khuṭbah on his mount on the Day of Sacrifice in Minā, until I saw that Baqī ibn Makhlad the ḥāfiẓ mentioned this ḥadīth in his "Musnad" from Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Numayr narrated to us: Dāwūd ibn Qays narrated to us.." I said: so he narrated the ḥadīth in its entirety, and he went far afield, for the ḥadīth is with Ibn Abī Shaybah in "al-Muṣannaf" as previously mentioned in its extraction, and it is from the narration of Baqī ibn Makhlad from him. Then he narrated from the narration of Abū Bakr ibn Khallād: Abū ʿĀmir narrated to us: Dāwūd narrated to us.. And this is in "Musnad Aḥmad" (3/36) and, like the previous one, it does not mention the mount, and the context contradicts it as I previously explained, and therefore Ibn al-Qayyim concluded his statement by saying:
