nor elsewhere. This is further confirmed by the fact that, in one of his versions, al-Nasa'i narrated it through the same route as al-Tirmidhi; both narrated it from their shaykh, Qutaybah ibn Sa'id, with the same chain of transmission but without this addition.

This addition likewise appears in the treatise of our esteemed brother, Ali al-Halabi, A Revised Edition of Ibn al-Sunni’s The Deeds of the Day and Night (95/202), although it is not found in Ibn al-Sunni, for he narrated it from his shaykh al-Nasa'i—as stated above—from Qutaybah, and then attributed it to al-Tirmidhi and others! The proper practice in hadith source-documentation would have been to place the addition in square brackets, as is customary today [], and to note that it is unique to al-Tirmidhi’s version. Critical editing, however, requires that it not be mentioned at all, except to show that it has no basis; hence the need to draw attention to it. *

“O Messenger of Allah, guide me to a deed for which Allah, exalted is He, will reward me.” He said: … and then mentioned it.

Al-Hafiz said: “This is a good hadith, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy, but there is criticism of ʿAṭṭāf concerning …”
