[Machine] Narrated by Abu 'Abdullah, the Prophet ﷺ said, "When the morning comes, we have awakened upon the Fitrah (natural disposition)." Then he mentioned the supplication. Shu'bah said, "I went to Salamah and mentioned this to him, and he said, 'I have not heard from Ibn Abi Awfa about the Prophet ﷺ in this matter.'" I said, "Nor from the words of Ibn Abi Awfa?" He said, "No." I said, "Nor have you been informed about it?" He said, "No, but I have heard similar hadith from Tharr, who narrated it from Sa'id ibn 'Abdur Rahman ibn Abza, who narrated it from his father, who narrated it from the Prophet ﷺ that when morning came, he used to say that." So, I returned to Muhammad ibn Muslim in another section of my book, and I went in to him and said, "Where is Ibn Abi Awfa according to Tharr?" In another section, I asked, "Where is Tharr according to Ibn Abi Awfa?" He said, "That is how I thought." I said, "Is this how you deal with assumptions?" Abu 'Abdur Rahman, Muhammad ibn 'Abdur Rahman ibn Abi Layla, one of the scholars, said, "Except that he is bad at memorization and makes many mistakes."
