Jami` at-Tirmidhi 599

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

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna told us: Muhammad ibn Jafar told us: Shubah told us, from Abu Ishaq, from Asim ibn Damrah, from Ali, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, a report similar to it. Abu Isa said: This hadith is hasan. Ishaq ibn Ibrahim said: The best report about the voluntary daytime prayers of the Prophet is this one. It is narrated that Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak considered this hadith weak. In our view, and Allah knows best, he considered it weak because nothing similar is narrated from the Prophet except through this route, from Asim ibn Damrah, from Ali. Some scholars consider Asim ibn Damrah trustworthy. Ali ibn al-Madini said that Yahya ibn Said al-Qattan reported Sufyan as saying: We considered the reports of Asim ibn Damrah superior to those of al-Harith.
