The Men in Isnad The 3 men between Imam Ad-Darami and the Prophet are; Yazid ibn Haroon Humayd Anas ibn Malik 1. Anas ibn Malik:[ الله عنه Died [رضي in 93H after living a 100+ years His name is Anas ibn Malik ibn An-Nadr. He was an Imam, a Mufti and Recitor and major narrator of Sunnah. Narrations from: The Prophet,[ﷺ] Abu Bakr, Umar,Uthman, Abu Hurayrah and others. Narrators from him: Hasan Al-Basri, Ibn Sireen, Abu Qilabah, Umar ibn Abdil Aziz, Az-Zuhri and others. Anas ibn Malik served the Prophet for 9 years. The ulema differ on the his age at the time of his death. Some say he was 103 or 107 at the time of his death. He narrated about 2286 hadith and among those collected in Bukhari in and in Muslim are a total of 180, a Al-Bukhari alone has 80 narrations and that Imam Muslim didn t report and Imam Muslim has 90 that Imam Al-Bukhari didn t report. Abu الله عنه] Hurayrah [رضي said: No one s prayer resembled
the Prophet s like Anas s. The Prophet made dua for Allah to grant him wealth may children and a long life. He had wealth, lived a long life and had 106 children.[1] 2. Humayd ibn Abee Humayd At-Taweel : [ narrations in the 6 books ] died 142H Narrations from: Anas ibn Malik and Hasan Narrators from him: Shu bah and Al-Qathan Imam Ath-Thahabbi said [ 1244 # ثقوه و يدلس] in Al-Kashif Humayd is known as At-Taweel due to his height. He died while standing up praying.the scholars said he heard 24 hadith directly from Anas and the other narrations that he conveyed from Anas were through Thabit.[2] 3. Yazid ibn Haroon :[narrations in the 6 books] died in 206H Narrations from: Sufyan At-Thowri,Rabee ibn Muslim, Malik ibn Anas. Narrators from him: Ishaq ibn Rawhoowiya, Ahmed ibn Hanbal, Yahya ibn Ma een and many others. He was so respected in the field of hadith that when he went to Baghdad the scholars of hadith came out and throw him a party. His hadith circle used to have 70,000 scholars present. He was known to offer 16 Rakah for Duha prayer. Moreover, he was known for praying long prayers at night and during the day.[3] Some scholars like Imam Abu Hatim said: He was an Iman, one
that people shouldn t ask about. Yahya ibn Ma een and Ali ibn Al-Madeeni both said he was trustworthy.[4] The status of the Hadith The isnad of this hadith is weak since Humayd At-Taweel was known for Tadlees, however, in another 3 chained narration collected by Abdur Razzaq in his Musnaf, Humayd mentioned that he directly heard the hadith from Anas. The Hadith is Sahih as it s been collected by Imam Al-Bukhari (412) and by his student Imam Muslim(1224). Issues derived from the Hadith Vocabulary The word بزق] ] is used here in this hadith and in some narrations, the word بصق] ] is mentioned. They are synonyms and mean to spit. Social interactions It s impolite to spit in front of people. If you need to spit you should turn away from them The general meaning of the hadith implies the spitting on the right during Salah.[5] Methodology Issues The majority of the scholars consider the prohibition of spitting on the right during prayer Haraam, but view
it permissible outside the prayer. This hadith about spitting on the left during prayer refers to the one not in the masjid. If a person is in the masjid and needs to spit then he should do so in a napkin or on his shirt. If a person is praying in place where there is carpet then he must avoid spitting on his left or under his foot. This includes not only masjid, but also a Musalla. The Masjids must be maintained The Masjids must be respected. Based on the hadith in Al-Bukhari # 415, which doesn t mention spitting on the right only during the prayer, then it s better to leave it off outside the prayer as well.[6] Prepared by Abu Aaliyah Abdullah ibn Dwight Battle Academic / Khateeb for Qatar Religious Endowment [1] Siyr 4/189-193 [2] Tahtheebul Kamaal, by Imam Mizi
