bayhaqi:4459Abū al-Ḥusayn ʿAlī b. Muḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh b. Bishrān And ʾAbū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. ʿAbdullāh b. Ibrāhīm al-Hāshimī Waʾabū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥusayn b. al-Ḥasan al-Ghaḍāʾirī > Abū Jaʿfar b. ʿAmr al-Razzāz > Saʿdān b. Naṣr > Abū Badr > Abū Janāb al-Kalbī > ʿIkrimah > Ibn ʿAbbās

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are three obligations upon me, and they are optional for you: the offering of the sacrifice, the Witr prayer, and the two Rak'ahs of the Duha prayer." Abu Janab al-Kalbi, whose name was Yahya ibn Abi Hayah, is a weak narrator. However, Yazid ibn Harun considered him truthful and accused him of deception.  

البيهقي:٤٤٥٩أنبأ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بِشْرَانَ وَأَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْهَاشِمِيُّ وَأَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْغَضَائِرِيُّ قَالُوا ثنا أَبُو جَعْفَرِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّزَّازُ ثنا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ثنا أَبُو بَدْرٍ ثنا أَبُو جَنَابٍ الْكَلْبِيُّ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ ثَلَاثٌ هُنَّ عَلَيَّ فَرَائِضُ وَهُنَّ لَكُمْ تَطَوُّعٌ النَّحْرُ وَالْوِتْرُ وَرَكْعَتَا الضُّحَى أَبُو جَنَابٍ الْكَلْبِيُّ اسْمُهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي حَيَّةَ ضَعِيفٌ وَكَانَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ يُصَدِّقُهُ وَيَرْمِيهِ بِالتَّدْلِيسِ
