(1) No. 2910. Also recorded by al-Bukhārī in al-Tārīkh al-Kabīr (1/216), who said: “I do not know whether he retained it accurately”—meaning Muhammad ibn Ka‘b. Al-Tirmidhī said: “This hadith is also transmitted from Ibn Mas‘ūd through another route. Abū al-Ahwas narrated it from Ibn Mas‘ūd; some narrators attributed it to the Prophet, while others transmitted it as a statement of Ibn Mas‘ūd himself. This hadith is hasan sahīh (good and authentic) and gharīb (singular) through this route. I heard Qutayba ibn Sa‘īd say: ‘I have been informed that Muhammad ibn Ka‘b al-Qurazī was born during the Prophet’s lifetime, peace and blessings be upon him.’” The report through Abū al-Ahwas was recorded by Ibn al-Durays in Fadā’il al-Qur’ān (p. 46), al-Ājurrī in Akhlāq Ahl al-Qur’ān (p. 52), and al-Hākim (1/555). Al-Albānī also graded the hadith authentic in al-Sahīha (3327). Al-Dāraqutnī extensively enumerated its transmission routes in his ‘Ilal (919) and preferred the mawqūf version (the report ascribed to Ibn Mas‘ūd himself). For the mawqūf version, see Musannaf ‘Abd al-Razzāq (5993, 6017), Sunan Sa‘īd ibn Mansūr (4, 6, 7, in the tafsīr section), Musannaf Ibn Abī Shayba (30552, 30554, 30555), and Sunan al-Dārimī (3351, 3358, 3365). (2) Recorded by ‘Abd al-Razzāq (4653), Ibn Abī Shayba (3710, 3720), and al-Bayhaqī (3/24–25), through several routes from ‘Abd al-Rahmān ibn ‘Uthmān al-Taymī, in an account of an incident involving him and ‘Uthmān, may Allah be pleased with him, concerning night prayer. Its chain of transmission is authentic. (3) See Musannaf ‘Abd al-Razzāq (2/146, “Reciting Surahs in a Single Rak‘a [Unit of Prayer]”; 3/351, “When You Hear a Verse of Prostration While Praying, and How Long to Take to Recite the Quran”) and Musannaf Ibn Abī Shayba (3/254, “Those Who Permitted Combining Surahs in a Single Rak‘a”; 5/513, “Those Who Permitted Reciting the Quran in One Night or in a Single Rak‘a”), as well as other chapters.
