It also has a fifth route in al-Musnad (2/248), through Yaḥyā ibn Juʿdah, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr al-Qārī, who said: I heard Abū Hurayrah say, “No, by the Lord of this House! It was not I who said, ‘Whoever begins the day in a state of major ritual impurity must not fast’; Muhammad, by the Lord of the House, said it. It was not I who prohibited fasting on Friday; Muhammad prohibited it, by the Lord of the House.” This is an authentic chain of transmission; its narrators are trustworthy. The hadith is recorded in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, and elsewhere, on the authority of Jābir as a prophetic report, but without the exception. A similar complete version from Abū Hurayrah has preceded under no. 980.

The prohibition against fasting while in a state of major ritual impurity has been abrogated, as explained in its proper place in the books of sunnah and elsewhere.

1013 — “What I fear most for my community is every eloquent-tongued hypocrite.”

Aḥmad narrated it (1/22 and 44), as did Ibn Baṭṭah in al-Ibānah (5/48/2), through Maymūn al-Kurdī, from Abū ʿUthmān al-Nahdī, who said: I was present with ʿUmar while he was addressing the people, and he said this in his sermon, citing it as a prophetic statement.

I say: Its chain of transmission is authentic. Abū Dāwūd and Ibn Ḥibbān declared Maymūn al-Kurdī trustworthy, while Ibn Maʿīn said, “There is no harm in him”; in another report, “He is sound.” Ibn Baṭṭah also narrated it through ʿAbd Allāh ibn Buraydah, who said that ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb said, “The Messenger of Allah entrusted us with …,” and then cited it. Its narrators are trustworthy, but its chain is interrupted. Ibn Baṭṭah’s teacher in this chain was Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Maḥmūd al-Sarrāj. Al-Khaṭīb included his biography (3/261) and reported that Abū al-Fatḥ Yūsuf al-Qawwās and Abū al-Qāsim al-Abnūdī (1) regarded him as reliable: “There is no harm in him.”
