bayhaqi:149Abū Ṭāhir al-Faqīh > Abū Ḥāmid b. Bilāl al-Bazzāz > Muḥammad b. Yaḥyá > Ḥammād b. Masʿadah > ʿUbaydullāh > Saʿīd b. Abū Saʿīd > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "If it was not difficult for my Ummah, I would have commanded them to use the Siwak (tooth-stick) with every ablution. And I would have delayed the Isha prayer until the third or halfway through the night." The remaining part of the hadith is not mentioned in this translation. Abu Tahir informed us, Abu Hamid narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Yahya informed us that Ahmad ibn Khalid narrated to us, and Muhammad ibn Ishaq narrated from Sa'id ibn Abi Sa'id Al-Maqburi, from 'Ata'a, the freed slave of Umm Sabiha, from Abu Hurayrah, who said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'If it was not a hardship upon my Ummah, I would command them to do so.'" And Muhammad ibn Yahya reported to us, Ya'qub ibn Ibrahim ibn Sa'd said, "My father narrated to me, from his father, from Ibn Ishaq, with a similar wording."  

البيهقي:١٤٩وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ ثنا أَبُو حَامِدِ بْنُ بِلَالٍ الْبَزَّازُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ أَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ مَعَ الْوُضُوءِ وَلَأَخَّرْتُ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ نِصْفِهِ وَذَكَرَ بَاقِي الْحَدِيثِ 150 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ أنا أَبُو حَامِدٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَنَّ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ خَالِدٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ مَوْلَى أُمِّ صَبِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَوْلَا أَنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي نَحْوَهُ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بِنَحْوِهِ
