وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نُصَيْرٍ الْخُلْدِيُّ، ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ هَارُونَ الْبَزَّازُ، ثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا صَلَاةَ لِمَنْ لَا وُضُوءَ لَهُ، وَلَا وُضُوءَ لِمَنْ لَا يَذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ ". وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَالِينِيُّ، أَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ السَّعْدِيُّ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ يَعْنِي وَهُوَ حَاضِرٌ عَنِ التَّسْمِيَةِ فِي الْوُضُوءِ فَقَالَ: لَا أَعْلَمُ فِيهِ حَدِيثًا ثَابِتًا، أَقْوَى شَيْءٍ فِيهِ حَدِيثُ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ رُبَيْحٍ، وَرُبَيْحٌ رَجُلٌ لَيْسَ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَبَلَغَنِي عَنْ أَبِي عِيسَى التِّرْمِذِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبُخَارِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَيْسَ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ حَدِيثٌ أَحْسَنُ عِنْدِي مِنْ حَدِيثِ رَبَاحِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: وَرُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ صَدَقَةَ مَوْلَى ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي ثِفَالٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حُوَيْطِبٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ حَدِيثٌ مُرْسَلٌ. قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: وَأَبُو ثِفَالٍ لَيْسَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ جِدًّا. وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْفَارِسِيُّ، أَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ فَارِسٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبُخَارِيِّ. قَالَ سَلَمَةُ اللَّيْثِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يَعْنِي فِي التَّسْمِيَةِ: لَا يُعْرَفُ لِسَلَمَةَ سَمَاعٌ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَلَا لِيَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no prayer for the one who has not performed ablution, and there is no ablution for the one who has not said 'Bismillah' (in the name of Allah)."
(b) Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about saying 'Bismillah' (in the name of Allah) before ablution, and he said: I do not know of any established hadith on it; the strongest thing in it is the hadith of Kathir bin Zayd from Rubayh, and Rubayh is an unknown person.
(c) Imam al-Tirmidhi (may Allah have mercy on him) reports from Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: In my view there is no narration in this chapter better than the hadith of Rabah bin Abd al-Rahman.
(d) Abu Bakr bin Huwaytib narrates it from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a mursal report.
(e) The Shaykh says: Abu Thifal is not well known.
(f) Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) says that in the chain of al-Laythi from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) about saying 'Bismillah' (in the name of Allah), it is not established that Salamah heard from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), nor that Ya'qub heard from his father.
