(1) In MS (Z) the phrase reads: “Muhanna. Abu Dawud said: I asked.” (2) See Masaʾil Abi Dawud, p. 292. (3) Reported by Ahmad, al-Musnad 1:248 (no. 2228); Ibn Abi Shaybah, al-Musannaf 2:307; al-Bukhari, al-Tarikh al-Awsat 1:328; al-Tahawi, Sharh Maʿani al-Athar 2:101; al-Tabarani, al-Muʿjam al-Kabir 11:389; and others, through the chain al-Hakam → Miqsam → Ibn Abbas. The hadith is defective in both chain and content; Shuʿbah ibn al-Hajjaj, Imam Ahmad, and al-Bukhari all ruled it weak. See Ibn Taymiyyah, Sharh al-ʿUmda, Kitab al-Siyam, 1:441–442, no. 447. A second route from Ibn Abbas is transmitted by Qubaysah → Sufyan → Hammad → Saʿid → Ibn Abbas; al-Nasaʾi records it in al-Sunan al-Kubra 2:235 (no. 3229). This isnad is erroneous, the mistake coming from Qubaysah. The correct wording is preserved by Abu Nuʿaym, ʿAbd al-Razzaq, Muhammad ibn Yusuf, and Muhammad ibn ʿAbd Allah al-Asadi, all of whom narrate from al-Thawri → ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿUthman → Saʿid → Ibn Abbas as a marfuʿ report: “He contracted marriage while in ihram, and he had cupping done while in ihram.” It is found in Ahmad 1:283, 333 and elsewhere.
