Hadith 64

(The book) ‘Majaalis’ of the Sheykh – from Al Mufeed, from Ibrahim Bin Al-Hassan Bin Jamhour, from Abu Bakr Al Mufeed Al Jarjahy, from Abu Al Dunya Al Muammar Al Maghriby, ‘From Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww used to pray two Cycles (optional) after every (obligatory) Salat’’. [97]
Explanation – This is problematic regarding the morning and Al-Asr, and it is possible the word abrogates it, or it was from his-saww specialities, or is carried upon the Taqiyyah (dissimulation) due to what is reported by Muslim, from the general Muslims, and others from Ayesha (one of the most well-known fabricators). She said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww did not neglect two Cycles after Al-Asr, in my presence’. And one of the general Muslims said it was specific with him-saww, and one of them said he-saww was pre-occupied from the two Cycles after Al-Zohr, so he-saww fulfilled them after Al-Asr, then he-saww affirmed it. When it was its ruling, he-saww constant upon what he-saww did once, along with that the Hadeeth by Abu Al-Dunya is not reliable, and rather the companions reported it for the strangeness from an aspect of the lofty chain of attribution.
