Bayhaqi 3646 — Which of the two is voluntary

كَمَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْجُنَيْدِ، ثنا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَأَى رَجُلَيْنِ فِي مُؤَخَّرِ الْقَوْمِ قَالَ: فَدَعَا بِهِمَا فَجَاءَا تَرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا، فَقَالَ: " مَا لَكُمَا لَمْ تُصَلِّيَا مَعَنَا؟ " قَالَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، صَلَّيْنَا فِي الرِّحَالِ قَالَ: " فَلَا تَفْعَلَا، إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فِي رَحْلِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى الْإِمَامِ فَلْيُصَلِّ مَعَهُ، وَلْيَجْعَلِ الَّتِي صَلَّى فِي بَيْتِهِ نَافِلَةً " قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: خَالَفَهُ أَصْحَابُ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَمَعَهُمْ أَصْحَابُ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ مِنْهُمْ: شُعْبَةُ وَهِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ وَشَرِيكٌ وَغِيلَانُ بْنُ جَامِعٍ وَأَبُو خَالِدٍ الدَّالَانِيُّ وَمُبَارِكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ وَأَبُو عَوَانَةَ وَهُشَيْمٌ وَغَيْرُهُمْ وَرَوَوْهُ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ مِثْلَ قَوْلِ وَكِيعٍ، يَعْنِي عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: وَرَوَاهُ حَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ قَالَ: " فَيَكُونُ لَكُمَا نَافِلَةً، وَالَّتِي فِي رَوَاحِلِكُمْ فَرِيضَةٌ " قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: حَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُ، قَالُوا: ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ثنا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: أَخْطَأَ حَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ وَإِنْ أَصَابَ فِي مَتْنِهِ، وَالصَّحِيحُ رِوَايَةُ الْجَمَاعَةِ، وَذَكَرَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فِي الْقَدِيمِ احْتِجَاجَ مَنِ احْتَجَّ بِحَدِيثِ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَهَذَا إِسْنَادٌ مَجْهُولٌ. وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ؛ لِأَنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ لَيْسَ لَهُ رَاوٍ غَيْرُ ابْنِهِ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، وَلَا لِجَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ رَاوٍ غَيْرُ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، وَكَانَ ⦗٤٢٩⦘ يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ وَجَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ يُوَثِّقُونَ يَعْلَى بْنَ عَطَاءٍ، وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَهُ شَوَاهِدُ قَدْ تَقَدَّمَ ذِكْرُهَا، فَالِاحْتِجَاجُ بِهِ وَبِشَوَاهِدِهِ صَحِيحٌ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Jabir bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Yazid bin al-Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I prayed with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer with the salam, he saw two men behind the people. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called them, and they came in a state of fear and alarm. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Why did you not pray with us?" The two of them said anxiously: "O Messenger of Allah! We have prayed at our homes before coming." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not do so; rather, when one of you has prayed at home and then comes to the mosque while the imam is leading the prayer, let him pray with him as well, and let him make the prayer he offered at home a voluntary prayer."
Ali (bin Umar) (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The students of al-Thawri (may Allah have mercy on him) differed from him (in this wording), and with them are the students of Ya'la bin Ata (may Allah have mercy on him), among them Shu'bah, Hisham bin Hassan, Sharik, Ghaylan bin Jami', Abu Khalid al-Dalani, Mubarak bin Fadalah, Abu Awanah and Hushaym (may Allah have mercy on them). They narrated from Ya'la bin Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) the same as the wording of Waki' (may Allah have mercy on him).
Ali (bin Umar) (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Hajjaj bin Artah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it from Ya'la bin Ata (may Allah have mercy on him), with his chain from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), with similar wording. In it is: "The prayer will be voluntary for you, and the one you prayed at your homes will be the obligatory one."
Hajjaj bin Artah erred in its chain, even if he was right in its text; the correct version is the narration of the group. Al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him), in his earlier works (al-Qadim), mentioned the argument of those who argued from the hadith of Ya'la bin Ata, then said: This is a majhul (unknown) chain. He said that, and Allah knows best, only because Yazid bin al-Aswad has no narrator other than his son Jabir bin Yazid, and Jabir bin Yazid has no narrator other than Ya'la bin Ata. Yahya bin Ma'in and a group of the imams considered Ya'la bin Ata thiqah (trustworthy), and this hadith has corroborating reports that have already been mentioned, so arguing from it and from its corroborating reports is sound. And Allah knows best.
