he was seen wiping the face of his horse with his garment, and he was asked about that. He said: ... and mentioned it. I said: This isnād is mursal, rather muʿḍal; for Yaḥyá ibn Saʿīd—who is the Anṣārī al-Bukhārī the judge—did not hear from any Companion other than Anas, as Ibn al-Madīnī said. For this reason, Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr said in "al-Tamhīd" (24/100): "This is how the ḥadīth is in 'al-Muwaṭṭaʾ' according to the group of its narrators, as far as I know, and it has been narrated from Mālik as musnad from Yaḥyá ibn Saʿīd from Anas; and it is not authentic."

Shaykh al-Aʿẓamī commented on it: "Al-Būṣīrī said: Its narrators are trustworthy!" I said: How can this be when the man was not named?! Perhaps he imagined him to be a Companion; but that is not the case; for it was narrated by Saʿīd ibn Manṣūr in "Sunan" (3438) from Ibn ʿUyaynah, and al-Dimyāṭī in
