(1) Recorded by Abu Dawud (1/105); al-Nasai (125–126); Ibn Majah (437); Ibn Khuzaymah (1/110/2 = 2/106/1014–1015); al-Hakim (259)—and through him al-Bayhaqi (2/432)—and by Ahmad (3/410–411) from Ibn Jurayj, who said: “Muhammad b. ‘Abbad b. Ja‘far related to me from ‘Abd Allah b. Sufyan, from ‘Abd Allah b. al-Saib, who said: I saw the Prophet ﷺ praying on the Day of the Conquest”—al-Hakim adds: “the dawn prayer”—“and he placed his sandals to his left.” Al-Hakim remarks, “I have cited it merely as a supporting report.” I respond: This is unwarranted leniency, for such wording applies only to a hadith whose chain is defective, whereas the isnad here is sound and fulfils Muslim’s criteria. In fact, Muslim transmits—through this very chain—another narration of ‘Abd Allah b. al-Saib in his Sahih, to be mentioned below under “Recitation in Fajr.” Al-‘Iraqi (1/170) erred by attributing the present hadith to Muslim; what Muslim actually contains is the other narration just referred to. (2) Reported by Ibn Khuzaymah (2/106/1016); Abu Dawud—whose wording is reproduced here—(105–106); al-Hakim (259); and, through the last two, al-Bayhaqi (2/432) from ‘Uthman b. ‘Umar, who said: “Salih b. Rustum Abu ‘Amir narrated to us from ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Qays, from Yusuf b. Mahak, from Abu Hurayrah,” in marfu‘ form. Al-Hakim declares it “sahih according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs,” and al-Dhahabi concurs. I note: Al-Hakim’s chain omits ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Qays—Abu Salih al-Hanafi—who is reliable but appears only among Muslim’s narrators; accordingly, the hadith is sound solely by Muslim’s standard.
