bayhaqi:1012Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. al-Ḥārith al-Faqīh > ʿAlī b. ʿUmar al-Ḥāfiẓ > al-Qāḍiyān al-Ḥusayn b. Ismāʿīl And ʾAbū ʿUmar Muḥammad b. Yūsuf > Ibrāhīm b. Hāniʾ > Mūsá b. Ismāʿīl > Abān > Suʾil Qatādah

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the two elbows. Abu Ishaq said, 'So I mentioned it to Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and he was amazed by it and said, 'How good you are!' The sheikh, this difference of opinion is in the text of the hadith of Ibn Abzah from Ammar, indeed it happened most of it from Salamah ibn Kuhail out of doubt, and it happened to him, and Al-Hakam ibn Utaibah is a scholar, he narrated from Thar ibn Abdullah from Sa'id ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, and then he heard from Sa'id ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, so he narrated the hadith on certainty without any doubt in it. And the hadith of Qatadah from 'Azrah agrees with it, and likewise the hadith of Husayn from Abu Malik. As for the hadith of Qatadah from a narrator from al-Sha'bi, it is disconnected, and it is not known who narrated it, so it is examined, and the hadith is established from another aspect, so there is no doubt in the authenticity of its chain."  

البيهقي:١٠١٢وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ أنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ ثنا الْقَاضِيَانِ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَأَبُو عُمَرَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ قَالَا ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَانِئٍ ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلُ ثنا أَبَانُ قَالَ سُئِلَ قَتَادَةُ عَنِ التَّيَمُّمِ فِي السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ وَكَانَ الْحَسَنُ وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ النَّخْعِيُّ يَقُولَانِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَدِّثٌ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِأَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ فَعَجِبَ مِنْهُ وَقَالَ مَا أَحْسَنْتَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ هَذَا الِاخْتِلَافُ فِي مَتْنِ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبْزَى عَنْ عَمَّارٍ إِنَّمَا وَقَعَ أَكْثَرُهُ مِنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ لِشَكٍّ وَقَعَ لَهُ وَالْحَكَمُ بْنُ عُتَيْبَةَ فَقِيهٌ حَافِظٌ قَدْ رَوَى عَنْ ذَرِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ثُمَّ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ عَلَى الْأَثْبَاتِ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَكٍّ فِيهِ وَحَدِيثُ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ عَزْرَةَ يُوَافِقُهُ وَكَذَلِكَ حَدِيثُ حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ وَأَمَّا حَدِيثُ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ مُحَدِّثٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ فَهُوَ مُنْقَطِعٌ لَا يُعْلَمُ مَنِ الَّذِي حَدَّثَهُ فَيُنْظَرُ فِيهِ وَقَدْ ثَبَتَ الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ لَا يَشُكُّ حَدِيثِيُّ فِي صِحَّةِ إِسْنَادِهِ
