—when he had performed the Friday Prayer, he would depart, pray two prostrations in his house, and then say, “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do that.” (1)
2 – Yaḥyā ibn Ayyūb ibn Abī Zurʿah al-Bajalī * (D, T)
The son of ʿAmr ibn Jarīr ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Bajalī, from Kūfah.
He narrated from his grandfather Abū Zurʿah and from al-Shaʿbī.
Those who transmitted from him include Ibn al-Mubārak, Abū Usāmah, Abū Aḥmad al-Zubayrī, al-Firyābī, and ʿAbd Allāh ibn Rajāʾ al-Ghudānī.
Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn said, “There is nothing wrong with him.”
On another occasion he said, “Weak,”
and in the version related by ʿUthmān al-Dārimī he said, “He is nothing.”
I say: He remained alive until roughly the year 160 AH.
We have mentioned him to differentiate him from the one before him; he is the brother of Jarīr ibn Ayyūb, who is among the weak narrators.
3 – Mahdī ibn Maymūn Abū Yaḥyā al-Kurdī al-Azdī ** (ʿ)
An imam, ḥāfiẓ, and trustworthy authority—Abū Yaḥyā al-Kurdī, al-Azdī, later al-Miʿwalī.
(1) Its chain of transmission is sound. Muslim also included it in his Sahih (no. 882), Book of Jumuah, chapter “The Prayer after the Friday Prayer,” through the isnad of Qutaybah → Layth → Nafiʿ → Ibn ʿUmar.
