أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ " قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: ثُمَّ قَدِمْتُ الْكُوفَةَ فَلَقِيتُ يَزِيدَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا، وَزَادَ فِيهِ: ثُمَّ ⦗١١١⦘ لَا يَعُودُ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُمْ لَقَّنُوهُ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُ يَزِيدَ يُحَدِّثُهُ، ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُهُ بَعْدُ يُحَدِّثُهُ هَكَذَا وَيَزِيدُ فِيهِ: ثُمَّ لَا يَعُودُ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَذَهَبَ سُفْيَانُ إِلَى أَنْ يُغَلِّطَ يَزِيدَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ يَقُولُ: كَأَنَّهُ لُقِّنَ هَذَا الْحَرْفَ فَتَلَقَّنَهُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَذْكُرُ سُفْيَانُ يَزِيدَ بِالْحِفْظِ كَذَلِكَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْإِسْفِرَايِينِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَحْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْبَرْبَهَارِيُّ، ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، بِمَكَّةَ فَذَكَرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ لَيْسَ فِيهِ: ثُمَّ لَا يَعُودُ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ: فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ الْكُوفَةَ سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ فَيَقُولُ فِيهِ: ثُمَّ لَا يَعُودُ، فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُمْ لَقَّنُوهُ، وَقَالَ لِي أَصْحَابُنَا: إِنَّ حِفْظَهُ قَدْ تَغَيَّرَ، أَوْ قَالُوا: قَدْ سَاءَ قَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ: قُلْنَا لِقَائِلٍ: هَذَا يَعْنِي لِلْمُحْتَجِّ بِهَذَا، إِنَّمَا رَوَاهُ يَزِيدُ، وَيَزِيدُ يَزِيدُ.
(a) It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him): "I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): when he began the prayer, he raised his hands." Sufyan says: Then I came to Kufah and met (my teacher) Yazid. I heard him narrating this same hadith, and he also added to it: then he did not do this (raising the hands) again in the rest of the prayer. I thought that they had prompted him with it. Sufyan says: I first heard Yazid narrate this hadith in this way; then later he added to it the words 'thumma la ya'ud' (then he did not repeat it).
(b) Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) held that Yazid erred in this hadith, saying that it was as though this phrase had been prompted to him, that is, suggested to him, and he took up the prompting; and Sufyan did not credit Yazid with a good memory.
(c) This hadith is likewise reported through another chain, and in it the words 'thumma la ya'ud' (then he did not repeat it) are not found.
(d) Sufyan says: When I came to Kufah I heard him narrating this hadith, and in it he was saying 'thumma la ya'ud' (then he did not repeat it). I realised that they had taught it to him.
(e) And my companions (those of our school) told me that Yazid's memory had deteriorated, or they used the words 'qad sa'a' (it has become poor).
(f) Al-Humaydi says: To whoever takes this hadith as evidence, we will say only this much: this narration was narrated by Yazid, and Yazid keeps adding.
