- (ʿĀʾishah used to scrape semen from his garment while he was praying). Narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah in his "Ṣaḥīḥ" (1/147/290): al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad narrated to us: Isḥāq—meaning al-Azraq—narrated to us: Muḥammad ibn Qays from Muḥārib ibn Dithār from ʿĀʾishah that she used to... etc. I said: This isnād is authentic; its narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of "al-Ṣaḥīḥ." Muḥammad ibn Qays is al-Asadī al-Wālibī; Isḥāq is Ibn Yūsuf al-Wāsiṭī; and al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad is Ibn al-Ṣabbāḥ al-Zaʿfarānī. The ḥadīth was mentioned by al-Ḥāfiẓ in "al-Talkhīṣ al-Ḥabīr" (1/32): "Narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah, al-Dāraqutnī, al-Bayhaqī, and Ibn al-Jawzī from the ḥadīth of Muḥārib ibn Dithār from ʿĀʾishah who said: Sometimes I would scrape it from the garment of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) while he was praying. This is the wording of al-Dāraqutnī, and the wording of Ibn Khuzaymah (he mentioned it), and Ibn Ḥibbān narrated from the ḥadīth of al-Aswad ibn Yazīd from ʿĀʾishah who said: I have seen myself rubbing semen from the garment of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) while he was praying." I said: I have two observations on this citation: First, the attribution to al-Dāraqutnī generally means his "Sunan," but the ḥadīth is not in it with this wording, nor is it in "Sunan al-Bayhaqī." The second: I doubt the authenticity of the phrase "while he was praying" in the narration of Ibn Ḥibbān; for its isnād with him (2/330/1377 - al-Iḥsān) is: Muḥammad ibn ʿAllān informed us—with permission—he said: Luwayn narrated to us, he said: Ḥammād ibn Zayd narrated to us from Hishām al-Dastawāʾī from Abū Maʿshar from Ibrāhīm from al-Aswad from ʿĀʾishah... with the wording mentioned by al-Ḥāfiẓ; except that he said: "while he was praying in it," adding at the end: "in it."
