Bulugh al-Maram 756

Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us: ‘Do not throw the pebbles at the Jamrah until the sun has risen.’ Reported by the Five except al-Nasa’i; its chain is interrupted.

1 — Sound. Reported by Abu Dawud (1940), al-Nasa’i (5/270–272), Ibn Majah (3025), and Ahmad (1/234, 311, 343), through al-Hasan al-‘Urani from Ibn ‘Abbas. However, al-Hasan did not hear from Ibn ‘Abbas, which is why al-Hafiz said here, ‘Its chain is interrupted.’ I say: This source review shows that al-Hafiz was mistaken in attributing it to all of them except al-Nasa’i, for it is found in al-Nasa’i. Al-Tirmidhi also reported it (893) with a sound, connected chain through Miqsam from Ibn ‘Abbas, and said: ‘A hasan sahih hadith.’ Thus al-Hafiz’s comment, ‘Its chain is interrupted,’ does not apply to al-Tirmidhi’s route. I say: The hadith has other routes, which I documented in al-Asl; this leaves anyone who examines it with no doubt about its soundness. Note: al-Hafiz’s discussion in Fath al-Bari (3/528) is free of the criticisms I made here: he pointed to its routes, attributed it to al-Nasa’i as well, and said: ‘It is a hasan hadith… These routes strengthen one another, and thus al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Hibban graded it sound.’
