Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26212

Qutaibah narrated to us, Rishdin bin Saad narrated to us, on the authority of Abd al-Rahman bin Ziyad bin Anam, on the authority of Utbah bin Humaid, on the authority of Ubadah bin He forgot, on the authority of Abd al-Rahman ibn Ghanam, on the authority of Muadh ibn Jabal, who said: I saw the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, when he performed ablution, wiping his face with the edge of his garment. He said: Abu Issa, this is a strange hadith and its chain of transmission is weak. Rishdin bin Saad and Abd al-Rahman bin Ziyad bin Anam al-Ifriqi are weak in Hadith: A group of knowledgeable people, among the Companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and those after them, permitted the use of tamandil after ablution, and for He disliked it. He only disliked it because it was said that ablution is weighed. This was narrated on the authority of Sa`id ibn al-Musayyab and al-Zuhri. Muhammad told us Ibn Humayd Al-Razi, Jarir narrated to us, saying: Ali Ibn Mujahid narrated to me, on the authority of me, and he is trustworthy in my opinion, on the authority of Tha’labah, on the authority of Al-Zuhri, he said: It is disliked to wear a handkerchief after performing ablution because the ablution is weighed.
