except while fasting. (1)

Ibn al-Mubārak likewise transmits the report in his Book of Asceticism (al-Zuhd): “Ḥammād ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Wāṣil….”

Al-Aʿmash narrated from Abū al-Ḍuḥā, from Masrūq, who said:
“We set out with Abū Mūsā on a campaign, and night overtook us in a deserted orchard. Abū Mūsā rose to pray, recited with a pleasing melody, and supplicated:
‘O Allah, You are al-Muʾmin (the Granter of security) and You love the believer; You are al-Muhaymin (the Protector) and You love the protector; You are al-Salām (the Source of peace) and You love peace.’ (2)

Ṣāliḥ ibn Mūsā al-Ṭalḥī related from his father:
“Shortly before his death the Ashʿarī—Abū Mūsā—applied himself to worship with extraordinary rigor. Someone said to him, ‘Why not hold back a little and treat yourself gently?’ He answered, ‘When a horse is loosed and draws near the end of the course, it expends everything it has. What remains of my lifetime is less than that.’ (3)

Ḥammād ibn Salamah narrated from Thābit, from Anas:
“Abū Mūsā kept a pair of trousers that he would wear, fearing his body might become exposed.” (4)

Al-Aʿmash narrated from Shaqīq, who said:
“We were seated with Ḥudhayfah when ʿAbdullāh entered …”

(1) Reported by Ibn Asakir, pp. 531–532, through several chains: from Abu al-Abbas Muhammad b. Yaqub, from Bakkar b. Qutaybah, from Ruh b. Ubadah, from Hisham b. Hassan with this same isnad. All the transmitters are reliable except Laqit—also known as Abu al-Mughirah—for whom no judgment of reliability or criticism is recorded; no one narrated from him except Wasil, the freedman of Abu Uyaynah, as stated in Ibn Abi Hatim, al-Jarh wa al-Taʿdil, 7/177. Al-Hakim also recorded it in al-Mustadrak, 3/467, through Hammad b. Yahya, from Abdullah b. al-Muammal, from Ata, from Ibn Abbas, stating that the Prophet ﷺ appointed Abu Musa to command a naval detachment. Al-Hakim declared the chain sound, but al-Dhahabi objected: “Ibn al-Muammal is weak.” (2) Ibn Asakir, pp. 532–533. (3) Ibn Asakir, p. 534. (4) Ibn Asakir, pp. 535–536.
