Hadith 3162
حَدَّثَنَا
حَامِدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ
سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ
سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ
إِسْحَاق مَوْلَى زَائِدَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، بِمَعْنَاهُ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : هَذَا مَنْسُوخٌ ، وسَمِعْت أَحْمَدَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ ، وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْغُسْلِ مِنْ غَسْلِ الْمَيِّتِ ، فَقَالَ : يُجْزِيهِ الْوُضُوءُ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : أَدْخَلَ أَبُو صَالِحٍ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، يَعْنِي إِسْحَاق مَوْلَى زَائِدَةَ ، قَالَ : وَحَدِيثُ مُصْعَبٍ ضَعِيفٌ ، فِيهِ خِصَالٌ لَيْسَ الْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abu Hurairah through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. Abu Dawud said: This has been abrogated. When Ahmad bin Hanbal was asked about a man taking a bath after his washing the dead, I heard him say: Ablution is sufficient for him. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Abu Salih made a mention of the narrator Ishaq, the client of Zaidah between him and Abu Hurairah. He said: The tradition of Musab is weak. It contains many things that are not practised.
