as for the narration of al-Bukhārī that the ḥāfiẓ referred to, it is with him (4596) through the route of Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Abū al-Aswad from ʿIkrimah with it. it is also a narration for Ibn Jarīr. *

- (He used to go out after the call to the mosque, and if he saw the people of the mosque were few, he would sit until he saw a group of them, then he would pray. And if he went out and saw a group, he would establish the prayer). It was recorded by al-Bayhaqī in "al-Sunan" (2/19-20) through the route of al-Fākihī: Abū Yaḥyá ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad ibn Zakarīyā ibn al-Ḥārith ibn Abī Masarrah informed us: My father narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Majīd ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz narrated to us from Ibn Jurayj: Mūsá ibn ʿUqbah informed me from Sālim Abū al-Naḍr: that the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) used to... the ḥadīth. I said: This is a mursal isnād, but it has been reported as connected as will come, and the ḥāfiẓ said after it in "al-Fatḥ" (2/110): "And its isnād is strong despite its being mursal." And I say: It seems he did not notice that al-Bayhaqī said directly after it: "He said—meaning Ibn Jurayj—: And Mūsá ibn ʿUqbah also narrated to me from Nāfiʿ ibn Jubayr from Masʿūd ibn al-Ḥakam al-Zuraqī from ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib—(raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) similar to this ḥadīth." I said this is a good connected isnād, and the ḥāfiẓ strengthened its mursal despite the fact that it includes ʿAbd al-Majīd ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz—who is Ibn Abī Rawād—; he is criticized, but he is strong in his narration from Ibn Jurayj specifically; Ibn Maʿīn said: "He was the most knowledgeable of people about Ibn Jurayj."
