A narration from Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah is presented—what is the status of its chain of transmission?
«عن على السنة وضع اليدين فى الصلاة هل وضع اليد تحت السرة فى الصلاة» [ابن ابي شيبه1/391، مسند احمد 1/110 ح 875]
Answer:
«عن علي.» [مسند احمد ج1 ص110، ابو داؤد 756 وابن ابي شيبه ج1ص 391]
The chain of this narration is weak; its narrator, Abdur Rahman ibn Ishaq al-Kufi al-Wasiti, is considered weak by the majority of hadith scholars. In fact, Anwar Shah Kashmiri said:
«الواسطي وهو متفق على ضعفه»
“Indeed, al-Wasiti is weak; there is consensus on his weakness.” [العرف الشذي ج1ص76سطر نمبر28]
