ʿUqba ibn ʿAmir al-Juhani saying it in full. Abu Dawud—and, through him, al-Bayhaqi—also transmitted the report via al-Layth ibn Saʿd → Ayyub ibn Musa (or: Musa ibn Ayyub) → a man of his clan → ʿUqba with the same purport. This version adds: whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ bowed he would say, “Subhana rabbi al-ʿazim wa-bihamdih” three times, and when he prostrated he would say, “Subhana rabbi al-aʿla wa-bihamdih” three times. Abu Dawud remarks: “We are afraid this addition is not preserved.” I add: Ibn Hibban also recorded the report (no. 505) without this addition. Al-Hakim declared it sahih, saying: “Both Imams accepted all its narrators except Iyas ibn ʿAmir, yet his isnad is sound.” Al-Dhahabi replied: “I say: Iyas is unknown.” This is in fact what the rules of hadith criticism dictate, for no one narrated from him except his nephew Musa ibn Ayyub. Nevertheless, al-Dhahabi did not list him in al-Mizan. Al-ʿAjli said, “There is no harm in him.” Ibn Hibban placed him among the reliable, and Ibn Khuzayma authenticated a report of his (as cited in Tahdhib). Al-Taqrib grades him “saduq” (reliable). Yet in al-Dhahabi’s own handwriting on the margins of his Talkhis al-Mustadrak one finds: “He is not strong.” One further point against al-Hakim’s judgment is that Musa ibn Ayyub was not transmitted by the Two Shaykhs, even though he himself is trustworthy.
