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 : 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 a 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 of the two men, Shu'bah or Sufyan al-Thawri. Did you obtain the book, if Allah wills?
The questioner : What...
Another questioner: No, I will answer you with it tomorrow, meaning.
The Shaykh : Yes, because I am stuck on a hadith, stuck on a hadith.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : The one attributed by al-Haythami to al-Bazzar is attributed to Ahmad and Musnad Abi Ya'la, and I reviewed both, so he will see... in something like...
Another questioner: No... tomorrow... from you.
The Shaykh : The point is that this hadith is not from the narration of Shu'bah or Sufyan, but rather it is from the narration of Zuhayr ibn Mu'awiyah, and he narrated from him after his confusion.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : 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 confirm that the hadith... was narrated before his confusion. 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. For this and that, I dared to include this hadith in al-Da'ifah!
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Especially since it was said that Shaykh al-Albani weakens the hadiths of al-Bukhari. So as long as it was said, we are at rest and the matter is ended...
