أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بِشْرَانَ، أنبأ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ دَعْلَجُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أنبأ هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ قَالَ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَضَعُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَرُبَّمَا مَسَّ لِحْيَتَهُ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي هَكَذَا " رَوَاهُ هُشَيْمُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ وَرَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ.
Sayyiduna Amr bin Hurayth (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to place the right hand over the left hand in the prayer, and sometimes he would also touch his beard during the prayer.
كَمَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا أَبُو الْمُثَنَّى، ثنا أَبِي، ثنا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: وَثنا أَبُو الْمُثَنَّى، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ ابْنِ أَخِي عَمْرِو بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فَرُبَّمَا تَنَاوَلَ لِحْيَتَهُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ مُؤَمَّلِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ وَذَكَرَ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي لَمْ يُسَمِّهِ وَهُوَ عَمْرُو بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ وَرَوَاهُ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ الْمَخْزُومِيِّ ابْنِ أَخِي عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحُرَيْثِ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ ضَعِيفٍ وَقِيلَ فِي أَحَدِهِمَا: مِنْ غَيْرِ عَبَثٍ.

وَيُذْكَرُ عَنِ النَّخَعِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " كَانَ يُقَالُ: مَسُّ اللِّحْيَةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَاحِدَةٌ أَوْ دَعْ " قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: وَهَذَا نَظِيرُ مَا يُرْوَى فِي مَسِّ الْحَصَى وَاحِدَةً " أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو الشَّيْخِ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الضَّبِّيُّ، ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْخَطْمِيُّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عِيسَى بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ يُخْبِرُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ، وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ مِنْهُ.
Ishaq bin Musa al-Khatmi said: I heard al-Walid bin Muslim say: I heard Isa bin Abdullah bin al-Hakam bin al-Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him), and he reported from Nafi', but his hearing from him is not established.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ الْمَالِينِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ شَهْرَيَارَ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ الْأَيْلِيُّ، ثنا الْوَلِيدُ هُوَ ابْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ رُبَّمَا يَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى لِحْيَتِهِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ عَبَثٍ " وَرُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ ضَعِيفٍ وَهُوَ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كَانَ يُقَالُ: " مَسُّ اللِّحْيَةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَاحِدَةً أَوْ دَعْ " وَهَذَا نَظِيرُ مَا يُرْوَى فِي مَسِّ الْحَصَى وَاحِدَةً قَالَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: عَامَّةُ مَا يَرْوِيهِ عِيسَى الْقَدَّاحُ هَذَا لَا يُتَابَعُ عَلَيْهِ.
(a) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would sometimes, out of need, place his blessed hand on his blessed beard during the prayer.
(b) It is reported from Ibrahim (al-Nakha'i) (may Allah have mercy on him): Touch the beard once or so, and that is all.
It has also been narrated through another, weak, route, from the hadith of Abu Dharr. Abu Ahmad (Ibn Adi) (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Most of what this Isa al-Qaddah narrates is not corroborated.
