Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar said in al-Fath (2/46), following the first narration:
“From this may be drawn a refutation of al-Tahawi, who restricted the ruling of having caught the prayer in time to such cases as a boy reaching puberty, a menstruating woman becoming pure, and a disbeliever accepting Islam. By this, he intended to support his school’s view that whoever catches one rakʿah of the Dawn prayer has his prayer invalidated, because he cannot complete it except during the disliked time. This is based on the view that such dislike applies to both obligatory and voluntary prayers, a well-known point of disagreement. Al-Tirmidhi said: ‘This is the view of al-Shafiʿi, Ahmad, and Ishaq.’ Abu Hanifah disagreed, saying: ‘If the sun rises while someone is performing the Dawn prayer, his prayer is invalidated.’ He cited as evidence the hadiths prohibiting prayer at sunrise. Some have claimed that the hadiths of prohibition abrogate this hadith, but that is a claim requiring proof, for abrogation is not established on the basis of mere possibility. The two hadiths can be reconciled by applying the hadiths of prohibition to voluntary prayers for which there is no particular cause. There is no doubt that specification is preferable to claiming abrogation.”
2476 — “Every day of Tashriq is a day for sacrifice.”
It has been narrated from Jubayr ibn Mutʿim, from a man among the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and from Abu Saʿid al-Khudri or Abu Hurayrah.
- As for the hadith of Jubayr ibn Mutʿim, it is narrated by Saʿid ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAziz al-Tanukhi, whose chain of transmission has been reported in different forms:
The first: Abu al-Mughirah and Abu al-Yaman narrated from him, saying: Sulayman ibn Musa narrated to me from Jubayr ibn Mutʿim, in a report attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with this wording. Ahmad (4/82) and al-Bayhaqi (9/295) narrated it. Al-Bayhaqi said: “This is the authentic version, and it is mursal.”
I say: This means that its chain is interrupted between Sulayman ibn Musa and Jubayr ibn Mutʿim, though it was also transmitted with a connected chain.
