Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Sufyan ibn Wak'i narrated to us: Hafs ibn Ghiyath narrated to us, from al-Hajjaj, from Makhul, from Abu al-Shimal, from Abu Ayyub, who said: The Messenger of Allah said: Four things are among the practices of the Messengers: modesty, using perfume, the toothstick, and marriage. It is also reported in this chapter from Uthman, Thawban, Ibn Mas'ud, Aishah, Abdullah ibn Amr, Abu Najih, Jabir, and Akkaf. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Abu Ayyub is hasan gharīb.

Mahmud ibn Khidash al-Baghdadi narrated to us: Abbad ibn al-Awwam narrated to us, from al-Hajjaj, from Makhul, from Abu al-Shimal, from Abu Ayyub, from the Prophet, with a report like that of Hafs. Abu Isa said: Hushaym, Muhammad ibn Yazid al-Wasiti, Abu Muawiyah, and more than one other narrated this hadith from al-Hajjaj, from Makhul, from Abu Ayyub, without mentioning Abu al-Shimal in it. The hadith of Hafs ibn Ghiyath and Abbad ibn al-Awwam is more authentic.
