the younger one, who appears in the first chain. Although the elder brother had a poor memory, his agreement with his brother in part of the report, and with Jābir’s hadith in the remainder, shows that he had retained it. And Allah knows best.

2073 — “Whenever he stoned Jamrat al-ʿAqabah, he would proceed on and not stop.”

Ibn Mājah transmitted it in his Sunan, no. 3033. He said: Suwayd ibn Saʿīd narrated to us; ʿAlī ibn Mushir narrated to us, from al-Ḥajjāj, from al-Ḥakam ibn ʿUtaybah, from Miqsam, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: He then mentioned it. I say: This chain is weak, because al-Ḥajjāj—who is Ibn Arṭāh—does not explicitly state that he heard it directly, and because Suwayd ibn Saʿīd is weak. Yet the hadith is authentic, for al-Bukhārī (1/438), Ibn Mājah (3032), al-Bayhaqī (5/148), and Aḥmad (2/152) transmitted it from Ibn ʿUmar, attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with the same wording.

2074 — “When he concluded the prayer with the salām, he would remain seated only as long as it took to say: ‘O Allah, You are Peace, and from You is peace. Blessed are You, O Possessor of Majesty and Honour.’”

Muslim (2/95), Abū Yaʿlā in his Musnad (224/2), and Ibn Mandah in On the Oneness of God (61/1) transmitted it through two chains from ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ḥārith, from ʿĀʾishah, with this wording. The wording is Muslim’s. In a narration of Abū Yaʿlā, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī al-Hudhayl, he said: “They would deem it preferable, once a person had completed the prayer, to say...” He then mentioned it. I say: Its chain is authentic according to Muslim’s criteria. Ibn Abī al-Hudhayl was a senior Successor and trustworthy; he died while Khālid al-Qasrī was governor of Iraq. This hadith also has corroborating reports, with the same wording attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr and ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar.
