Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefit:
It is likely that Muhammad bin Yahya has declared this hadith weak because it apparently contradicts the previous hadith. However, it can be said that in the first hadith, the ruling is mentioned in the case of an excuse (such as sleep or forgetfulness), while in the second hadith, the original ruling is mentioned, which should be acted upon. In this respect, there will be no contradiction.
