Bayhaqi 4492 — One who placed two rak'ahs before the Maghrib prayer

وَأنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ خُزَيْمَةَ، عَلَى أَثَرِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ: حَيَّانُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ هَذَا قَدْ أَخْطَأَ فِي الْإِسْنَادِ؛ لِأَنَّ كَهْمَسَ بْنَ الْحَسَنِ، وَسَعِيدَ بْنَ إِيَاسٍ الْجُرَيْرِيَّ، وَعَبْدَ الْمُؤْمِنِ الْعَتَكِيَّ رَوَوَا الْخَبَرَ عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ لَا عَنْ أَبِيهِ، هَذَا عِلْمِي مِنَ الْجِنْسِ الَّذِي كَانَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ يَقُولُ: أَخَذَ طَرِيقَ الْمَجَرَّةِ، فَهَذَا الشَّيْخُ لَمَّا رَأَى أَخْبَارَ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ تَوَهَّمَ أَنَّ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ هُوَ أَيْضًا عَنْ أَبِيهِ، وَلَعَلَّهُ لَمَّا رَأَى الْعَامَّةَ لَا تُصَلِّي قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ تَوَهَّمَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُصَلَّى قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ، فَزَادَ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةَ فِي الْخَبَرِ، وَزَادَ عِلْمًا بِأَنَّ هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةَ خَطَأٌ أَنَّ ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ قَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَنْ كَهْمَسٍ: فَكَأَنَّ ابْنَ بُرَيْدَةَ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، فَلَوْ كَانَ ابْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ قَدْ سَمِعَ مِنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَذَا الِاسْتِثْنَاءَ الَّذِي زَادَ حَيَّانُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ فِي الْخَبَرِ مَا خَلَا صَلَاةَ الْمَغْرِبِ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُخَالِفُ خَبَرَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
Abu Bakr Muhammad bin Ishaq, that is Ibn Khuzaymah, said following this hadith: This Hayyan bin Ubaydullah erred in the chain, because Kahmas bin al-Hasan, Sa'id bin Iyas al-Jurayri and Abd al-Mu'min al-Ataki narrated the report from Ibn Buraydah from Abdullah bin Mughaffal, not from his father. To my knowledge, this is of the kind about which al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say: 'He took the road of the Milky Way (the well-trodden path).' When this shaykh saw the reports of Ibn Buraydah from his father, he imagined that this report too was from his father. And perhaps, when he saw that the common people did not pray before Maghrib, he imagined that no prayer is offered before Maghrib, so he added this phrase to the report. A further proof that this narration is a mistake is that Ibn al-Mubarak said in his narration from Kahmas: Ibn Buraydah used to pray two rak'ahs before Maghrib. Had Ibn Buraydah heard from his father, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), this exception that Hayyan bin Ubaydullah added to the report, "except the Maghrib prayer", he would not have gone against the report of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
