bayhaqi:879al-Shaykh And ʾInnamā Rawāh Abū ʿAmr b. al-ʿAlāʾ > Iyās b. Jaʿfar > a man

[Machine] It was narrated that the Prophet ﷺ had a piece of cloth or a small towel, and when he performed ablution, he would wipe his face and hands with it. Abu al-Hasan ibn Abi al-Ma'ruf al-Faqih informed us that Abu Sahl Bashr ibn Ahmad al-Isfarayini narrated to us that Ahmad ibn al-Hasan ibn Abdul-Jabbār al-Sufi narrated to us that al-Qawarīri narrated to us that Abdul-Warith narrated from Abu Amr ibn al-Ala'a from Iyas ibn Ja'far, and he mentioned this, and this is what is remembered from the narration of Abdul-Warith.  

البيهقي:٨٧٩قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَإِنَّمَا رَوَاهُ أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا حَدَّثَهُ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَتْ لَهُ خِرْقَةٌ أَوْ مِنْدِيلٌ فَكَانَ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ مَسَحَ بِهَا وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الْمَعْرُوفِ الْفَقِيهُ أَنَا أَبُو سَهْلٍ بِشْرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْإِسْفَرَايِينِي ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ الصُّوفِيُّ ثنا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ فَذَكَرَهُ وَهَذَا هُوَ الْمَحْفُوظُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ
