Moreover, Abu Dawud (no. 807), al-Tirmidhi, and al-Bayhaqi (2/380) transmit another version through Ismail ibn Jaʿfar, who said: “Yahya ibn ʿAli ibn Yahya ibn Khalad ibn Rafiʿ al-Zuraqi related to me from his father, from his grandfather, from Rafiʿa, in the words: ‘When you rise for prayer, perform wudu as Allah has commanded you, then recite the tashahhud, give the iqama, and if you have any Quran with you, recite it; otherwise praise Allah, magnify Him, and proclaim His oneness; then bow….’ The report continues. Al-Tahawi (1/137) and al-Tayalisi (no. 196) also recorded it, and al-Tirmidhi judged it “hasan.” I say: the transmitters are those of al-Bukhari except for this Yahya ibn ʿAli. Ibn Hibban included him among the trustworthy, yet Ibn al-Qattan remarked, “He is known only by this report, and I am unaware of any weakness in him.” Al-Dhahabi added, “Nevertheless, he remains obscure.” Al-Hafiz (in al-Taqrib) hinted at the same by describing him as “maqbul” (acceptable). Still, he has corroboration for the hadith in general—as shown earlier—and for this particular wording he is supported by Sharik ibn Abi Nimar, who narrates from ʿAli ibn Yahya, from his uncle Rafiʿa ibn Rafiʿ. Al-Tahawi produced it with this broken chain, omitting Yahya ibn Khalad; the slip is Sharik’s, for although he is a narrator of both Sahihs, he did make mistakes. The remaining transmitters are trustworthy men found in al-Bukhari’s collection.
