but the matter became muddled for him and he went on to say,
“‘ʿAṭāʾ ibn Abī Marwān narrated from Mūsā ibn ʿUqbah from him, and that narrator is ʿAṭāʾ’s own father!’”
Thus he inserted Mūsā between the son and the father, even though Mūsā is actually the transmitter from the son on the authority of his father, as you have already seen.

In al-Kāshif he is described as “thiqah” (reliable). Al-Dhahabī seems to have followed al-ʿIjlī in this, for the latter listed him among his Thiqat 510 – 2038, and Ibn Ḥibbān did likewise in 5/585. The heart, however, finds no repose in their grading, given the well-known leniency of both men. We therefore remain with the judgment of al-Nasāʾī—adopted by al-Dhahabī himself in his book—until evidence surfaces that compels us to move from it.

I have come across a corroborating report (shāhid) from Abū Barzah al-Aslamī, who said:
“Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had performed the dawn prayer—he added, ‘and I think he only said this while on a journey’—he would raise his voice so that his Companions could hear him: ‘Allāhumma aṣliḥ (O Allah, set right …)’”—and the rest of the supplication follows.

Ibn al-Sunnī recorded it in ʿAmal al-Yawm wa’l-Laylah 124 and 509 through the route of Isḥāq ibn Yaḥyā ibn Ṭalḥah: “Ibn Abī Barzah narrated to me.” In the other place the wording is: “Ibn Buraydah al-Aslamī, from his father,” with the same content.

I say: This chain is extremely weak. Numerous scholars abandoned Isḥāq, and Abū Ḥātim indicated that his ḥadith is not to be taken into account, meaning that his weakness is severe; therefore it is unsuitable as supporting evidence.

That said, the supplication in its unrestricted form is found from Abū Hurayrah—up to the phrase “maʿāshī” (my livelihood)—in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim. As for the wording “innī aʿūdhu biriḍāka … to wa-aʿūdhu bika minka” (I seek refuge in Your pleasure … and I seek refuge in You from You), it belongs to the prayers recited in prostration; it has already appeared earlier in this book. The remainder of the text belongs to the invocations said after rising from bowing, as previously noted, and also to those recited after the prayer.
