Bulugh al-Maram 40
وَعَنْ عُثْمَانَ - رضى الله عنه - { أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -كَانَ يُخَلِّلُ لِحْيَتَهُ فِي اَلْوُضُوءِ } أَخْرَجَهُ اَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اِبْنُ خُزَيْمَة َ 1 .1 - صحيح. رواه الترمذي (31)، وابن خزيمة (1 /78-79) وقال الترمذي: حسن صحيح. قلت: يعني بشواهده، فله شواهد عن أكثر من عشرة من الصحابة رضي الله عنهم، وقد ذكرت ذلك مفصلا في "الأصل".
Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pass his fingers through his beard during ablution. Al-Tirmidhi reported it, and Ibn Khuzaymah graded it authentic. 1 — Al-Tirmidhi (31) and Ibn Khuzaymah (1/78–79) reported it. Al-Tirmidhi said, “A good, authentic hadith.” I say: He means on the basis of its corroborating reports, for there are reports supporting it from more than ten Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). I have explained this in detail in “the Original.”
Translation notes
قلت: يعني بشواهده، فله شواهد عن أكثر من عشرة من الصحابة رضي الله عنهم
The English witness includes the report but omits the attached explanation that al-Tirmidhi’s grading refers to corroborating reports from more than ten Companions.
Should the witness be recorded as covering only the report wording and brief grading?
