صحيح ابن خزيمه
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah
جماع أبواب الأذان والإقامةChapters on Adhan and Iqamah
(70) بَابُ ذِكْرِ الدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّ الشَّطْرَ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ الْقِبَلُ لَا النِّصْفُ،
Chapter 70: Evidence that "shatr" here means "direction", not "half"
Hadith Q437
وَهَذَا مِنَ الْجِنْسِ الَّذِي نَقُولُ إِنَّ الْعَرَبَ قَدْ يُوقِعُ الِاسْمَ الْوَاحِدَ عَلَى الشَّيْئَيْنِ الْمُخْتَلِفَيْنِ، قَدْ يُوقِعُ اسْمَ الشَّطْرِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ وَعَلَى الْقِبَلِ أَيِ الْجِهَةِ.
And this matter is of the same kind about which we say that the Arabs use the same name for two different things.
Hadith 437
نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْوَهْبِيُّ ، نا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ، قَالَ : " صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا " ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ الْبَرَاءُ : وَالشَّطْرُ فِينَا قِبَلَهُ
Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I performed prayer facing Bayt al-Maqdis for sixteen months in the company of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then he narrated the complete hadith. Abu Ishaq says that Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) said that in our view, « شطر» means direction and side.
Hadith 438
نا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، نا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو وَهُوَ ابْنُ دِينَارٍ قَالَ قَرَأَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: " أَنُلْزِمُكُمُوهَا مِنْ شَطْرِ أَنْفُسِنَا: مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ أَنْفُسِنَا " قَدْ خَرَّجْتُ هَذَا الْبَابَ بِتَمَامِهِ فِي كِتَابِ التَّفْسِيرِ
Hazrat Amr bin Dinar (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) recited (this verse) in this way: "Can we compel you to this matter from our side?" I have explained this aspect in detail in the Book of Tafsir.
