Zād al-MaʿādIbn al-Qayyim

ten, and another twelve= each of them thus reported what he had seen and heard.

He said: The evidence supporting our view is the report from Zayd ibn Aslam, who said: I heard Abdullah ibn Umar say to Abū Dharr, “Advise me, uncle.” He replied: I asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, just as you have asked me, and he said:

“Whoever offers two rak'ahs of the midmorning prayer will not be recorded among the heedless; whoever offers four will be recorded among the worshippers; whoever offers six, no sin will attach to him that day; whoever offers eight will be recorded among the devout; and whoever offers ten, Allah will build him a house in Paradise.” (1)

Mujāhid (2) said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, offered two rak'ahs of the midmorning prayer one day, then four on another day, then six on another day, then eight on another day, and then ceased.

This report thus demonstrates the soundness of what we have said: each of the narrators whose statements were mentioned earlier (3) may have reported only as much of the midmorning prayer as he personally saw and witnessed.

(1) Also recorded by Ibn Abī ‘Āsim in al-Āhād wa-l-Mathānī (987) and al-Bazzār (9/335), through several chains from ‘Abd al-Hamīd ibn Ja‘far, from Husayn ibn ‘Atā, from Zayd ibn Aslam, with the same hadith. Husayn ibn ‘Atā is munkar al-hadīth (a narrator of rejected hadiths). Al-Bukhārī identified another defect in it in al-Tārīkh al-Kabīr (2/392), stating: “Al-Sha‘bī reported from Ibn ‘Umar: ‘The midmorning prayer is a bid‘ah (innovation), and an excellent innovation it is.’ This is more authentic.” That is, had Ibn ‘Umar known this hadith, he would not have described the midmorning prayer as an innovation. A similar report was recorded by Abū Ya‘lā (al-Matālib al-‘Āliyah, 4/573) and al-Bayhaqī (3/48), through two weak chains from ‘Abd Allāh ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Ās, from Abū Dharr, with the same hadith. (2) Its sources have already been cited. (3) Qawluhu (his statement) is omitted from the printed editions.
عشر، وآخر على ثنتي عشرة= فأخبر كلُّ واحد منهم عمَّا رأى وسمِع. قال: والدليل على صحة قولنا ما روي عن زيد بن أسلم. قال: سمعت عبد الله بن عمر يقول لأبي ذرٍّ: أوصِني يا عمِّ. قال: سألت رسول الله ﷺ كما سألتني، فقال: «مَن صلّى الضُّحى ركعتَين لم يُكتَب من الغافلين، ومن صلّى أربعًا كُتِب من العابدين، ومَن صلّى ستًّا لم يلحقه ذلك اليومَ ذنبٌ، ومن صلّى ثمانيًا كُتِب من القانتين، ومن صلّى عشرًا بنى الله له بيتًا في الجنة» (١). وقال مجاهد (٢): صلَّى رسول الله ﷺ يومًا الضُّحى ركعتين، ثم يومًا أربعًا، ثم يومًا ستًّا، ثم يومًا ثمانيًا، ثم ترك. فأبان هذا الخبر عن صحة ما قلنا من احتمال خبر كلِّ مُخْبِر ممَّن تقدَّم قولُه (٣) أن يكون إخباره بما أخبر عنه في صلاة الضُّحى على قدر ما شاهده وعاينه.
(١) وأخرجه ابن أبي عاصم في «الآحاد والمثاني» (٩٨٧) والبزار (٩/ ٣٣٥) من طرق عن عبد الحميد بن جعفر عن حسين بن عطاء عن زيد بن أسلم به. وحسين بن عطاء منكر الحديث. وأعلّه البخاري بأمر آخر في «التاريخ الكبير» (٢/ ٣٩٢) فقال: «وقال الشعبي عن ابن عمر: صلاة الضحى بدعة، ونعمت البدعة. وهذا أصح»، أي: لو كان ابن عمر عنده هذا الحديث لما وصف الضحى بأنها بدعة. وبنحوه أخرج أبو يعلى (المطالب العالية- ٤/ ٥٧٣) والبيهقي (٣/ ٤٨) من طريقين ضعيفين عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص عن أبي ذر به. (٢) تقدم تخريجه. (٣) «قوله» ساقط من النسخ المطبوعة.
