(a) Yahya bin Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated this same hadith from al-Taymi (may Allah have mercy on him) as mawquf (stopping at the Companion). Abdullah (bin Ahmad) said: My father said: He (this Abu Salih) is not Abu Salih al-Samman, nor Badham; this one is a Basran, and I think he is Mizan, meaning his name is Mizan. The Shaykh (al-Bayhaqi) said: This is the view of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) in the sounder of the two narrations from him, and the view of Ubayy bin Ka'b, Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, Abu Hurayrah and Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As, and one of the two narrations from Ibn Umar, Ibn Abbas, Abu Sa'id al-Khudri and Aishah (may Allah be pleased with them).
(b) It is transmitted from Qabisah bin Dhu'ayb, a Successor (may Allah have mercy on him), that the middle prayer is the Maghrib prayer.
