Among them is the report narrated by Ṣāliḥ ibn Kaysān, from ʿĪsā ibn Masʿūd al-Zuraqī, from his grandmother Ḥabībah bint Shurayq:

She was with her mother, the daughter of al-ʿAjmāʾ, in Minā during the days of the pilgrimage. He said: Then Budayl ibn Warqāʾ came riding the Messenger of Allah’s mount, with its saddle, and proclaimed: “The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, says: Whoever is fasting should break his fast, for these are days of eating and drinking.”

Al-Ḥākim narrated it (2/250), as did al-Ṭabarānī in al-Awsaṭ (4/27/3526) and Abū Nuʿaym in Maʿrifat al-Ṣaḥābah (2/342/1).

I say: This is a sound chain of transmission, and all its narrators are trustworthy except ʿĪsā ibn Masʿūd ibn al-Ḥakam al-Zuraqī. Ibn Ḥibbān declared him trustworthy (7/236), and three trustworthy narrators reported from him. In al-Tahdhīb, two of them are mentioned, but the third—Ṣāliḥ ibn Kaysān—is omitted. He was a trustworthy, meticulous jurist.

Al-Haythamī said of this hadith:

“Ahmad and al-Ṭabarānī in al-Awsaṭ narrated it, but Ahmad’s chain contains an unnamed man.”

Yet he made no comment at all regarding al-Ṭabarānī’s chain, though all its narrators are trustworthy.

It appears that this hadith is one of those omitted from some copies of al-Musnad, including the edition printed in Egypt. The hadith scholar Ibn Kathīr likewise attributed it to Ahmad in Jāmiʿ al-Masānīd (2/15), as did the hadith scholar in Aṭrāf al-Musnad (1/572/1113). Therefore, its editor, Dr. Zuhayr Nāṣir, introduced it by saying: “I did not find it.” Perhaps those overseeing the publication of al-Musnad at Muʾassasat al-Risālah will restore this hadith, along with other hadiths omitted from the printed edition, some of which have previously been noted.
