Book 4, Number 1534:
This hadith has been narrated by Abu Huraira with another chain of transmitters. Hammad (one of the narrators) said: I then met ‘Amr (the other narrator) and he narrated it to me, but it was not transmitted directly from the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him).
Book 4, Number 1535:
‘Abdullah b. Malik b. Buhaina reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) happened to pass by a person who was busy in praying while the (Fard of the) dawn prayer had commenced. He said something to him, which we do not know what it was. When we turned back we surrounded him and said: What is it that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said to you? He replied: He (the Holy Prophet) had said to me that he perceived as if one of them was about to observe four (rak’ahs) of the dawn prayer. Qa’nabi reported that ‘Abdullah b. Malik b. Buhaina narrated it on the authority of his father. (Abu’l-Husain Muslim said): His assertion that he has narrated this hadith on the authority of his father is not correct.
Book 4, Number 1536:
Ibn Buhaina reported: The dawn prayer had commenced when the Messen- ger of Allah (may peace be upon him) saw a person observing prayer, whereas the Mu’adhdhin had pronounced the Iqama. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) remarked: Do you say four (rak’ahs) of Fard in the dawn prayer?
Book 4, Number 1537:
‘Abdullah b. Sarjis reported: A person entered the mosque, while the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was leading the dawn prayer. He observed two rak’ahs in a corner of the mosque, and then joined the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) in prayer. When the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) had pronounced salutations (he had concluded the prayer), he said: O, so and so, which one out of these two prayers did you count (as your Fard prayer), the one that you observed alone or the prayer that you observed with us?
