he would refuse to sit in that man’s place. Muslim likewise recorded the report.

A similar wording is also transmitted from Ibn ʿUmar as a Prophetic (marfūʿ) ḥadīth. Abū Dāwūd narrates, through Abū al-Khaṣīb—whose name is Ziyād ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān—from Ibn ʿUmar: “A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, whereupon another man rose from his seat so that he might sit in it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade him to do so.”

Abū Dāwūd also relates, through Saʿīd ibn Abī al-Ḥasan: “Abū Bakrah came to us, and a man stood up from his seat for him. Abū Bakrah refused to sit in it and said, ‘The Prophet ﷺ forbade that.’” Al-Ḥākim likewise recorded the ḥadīth and declared it authentic through this chain.

I say: The report he ascribed to al-Adab al-Mufrad is indeed found there (no. 1153) with an authentic chain that meets the conditions of al-Bukhārī and Muslim. It follows immediately after the marfūʿ narration and reads: “The Prophet ﷺ forbade a man to make someone rise from his seat and then sit in it himself.” This wording is also recorded by Muslim.

As for the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿUmar that he attributed to Abū Dāwūd, it is found in Abū Dāwūd (4/406) with a chain whose narrators are all trustworthy except for Abū al-Khaṣīb. After citing the report, Abū Dāwūd—just as al-Ḥāfiẓ did—remarked: “His name is Ziyād ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān.”

I add: Ibn Abī Ḥātim also cites him (1/2/538) without recording any criticism or endorsement, while Ibn Ḥibbān placed him among the reliable narrators; Ibn Ḥajar, in al-Taqrīb, grades him “maqbūl” (acceptable). Al-Munādhirī kept silent about the ḥadīth in his Mukhtaṣar al-Sunan (7/184), so it is in
