Abu Dawud

English Commentary:
1:
The hadith of Abdullah ibn Abbas and Aisha (radi Allahu anhum) is contrary to the hadith of Ibn Umar (radi Allahu anha), which has been narrated by Bukhari and Muslim, in which it is stated that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) performed the circumambulation (tawaf) during the day on the Day of Sacrifice (Yawm al-Nahr). Imam Bukhari has reconciled between the two by interpreting the hadith of Ibn Umar and Jabir as pertaining to the first day, and the hadith of Ibn Abbas and Aisha as pertaining to the remaining days besides it. The author of Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi states:
“The hadith of Ibn Abbas and Aisha mentioned in this chapter is weak, so there is no need for the reconciliation indicated by Bukhari. However, if its authenticity is assumed, then such reconciliation is necessary.”
(The hadith of Ibn Abbas and Aisha mentioned in the chapter is weak, therefore there is no need for the reconciliation and harmonization to which Bukhari alluded, and if its authenticity is accepted, then reconciliation and harmonization is necessary.)

2:
It is not correct for Imam Tirmidhi to declare this hadith as hasan sahih (good and authentic). The correct view is that this hadith is not suitable as evidence, because Abu al-Zubayr did not hear from Ibn Abbas nor from Aisha (radi Allahu anha). Abu al-Hasan al-Qattan says: “In my view, this hadith is not authentic; rather, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) performed the circumambulation (tawaf) during the day on that occasion.”

Note:
(Abu al-Zubayr is a mudallis (one who practices tadlis) and the narration is with ‘an‘anah (ambiguous transmission), and furthermore, Abu al-Zubayr did not hear from either of the two Companions, and this hadith is contrary to the authentic hadith that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) performed the circumambulation of visitation (tawaf al-ziyarah) during the day, therefore it is shaadh (anomalous).)

Benefits and Issues:

➊
Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah has declared this hadith to be shaadh.
Shaadh means that this hadith is to be abandoned because it contradicts a stronger hadith.

➋
Imam al-Bukhari rahimahullah has narrated this hadith in a suspended (mu‘allaq) form with these words:
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam delayed the visitation (ziyarah) until the night. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Hajj, Chapter: Visiting on the Day of Sacrifice before..., Hadith: 1722)
Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah has explained that what is meant by this is the visitation (ziyarah) of the Ka‘bah during the nights of the days of Tashreeq,
not the tawaf (circumambulation) of the 10th of Dhu’l-Hijjah.
That was performed during the day. (Fath al-Bari: 3/716/717)
