Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is your opinion of one who combines two prayers, calling the adhan and iqamah for each prayer, acting on the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud in al-Bukhari?
The Shaykh : You mean the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud in...
The questioner : In Muzdalifah.
The Shaykh : In Muzdalifah.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This hadith is not authentic!
The questioner : It is attributed to al-Bukhari.
The Shaykh : It is in "Sahih al-Bukhari."
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : I included this hadith in "Al-Silsilah al-Da'ifah" for two reasons; the first is that Abu Ishaq al-Sabi'i is in its chain of narration.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And it is well known that he became confused in his old age, in addition to the fact that he was a concealor of defects. And among the errors of the scholars is that al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar stated that al-Bukhari did not narrate from him except through those who heard from him little, such as Shu'bah or Sufyan al-Thawri. The reality is the opposite, first of all. And secondly, this hadith is not from the narration of either Shu'bah or Sufyan al-Thawri.
Have you obtained the book, if Allah wills?
The questioner : We have not caught up...
Another questioner : No, I will answer you with it tomorrow, meaning.
The Shaykh : Yes, because I am stuck at a hadith, stuck at a hadith.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Al-Haythami attributed it to al-Bazzar; it is attributed to Ahmad and "Musnad Abi Ya'la," and I reviewed both, so between now and when I see it...
Another questioner : No... if Allah wills, tomorrow I will come down...
The Shaykh : The important thing is that this hadith is not from the narration of Shu'bah or Sufyan, but rather from the narration of Zuhayr, I think Ibn Mu'awiyyah, and he narrated from him after his confusion.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So for this reason, and of course following the sources that enable me to find, or perhaps I will find, a narration from Shu'bah or Sufyan from him, so that we can then be certain that the hadith was narrated before his confusion, but we did not obtain that. This is from one side. From another side, it is established in the hadith of Jabir and others that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) combined the two prayers with one adhan and two iqamahs. So for this and that, I dared to include this hadith in "Al-Da'ifah"!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Especially since it has been said that Shaykh al-Albani weakens hadiths of al-Bukhari, so as long as it is said, we rest and the matter is ended...
