Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26526

Mahmoud bin Ghaylan narrated to us, Waki’ narrated to us, Hisham bin Saad narrated to us, on the authority of Nafi’, on the authority of Ibn Umar, he said, I said to Bilal, how was the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace? He greeted them in response to them when they were greeting him while he was praying. He said: He was gesturing with his hand. Abu Issa said: This is a hadith. Hasan Sahih. And the hadith of Suhaib is hasan. We do not know it except from the hadith of Al-Layth on the authority of Bukayr. It was narrated on the authority of Zayd bin Aslam on the authority of Ibn Umar. He said: I said to Bilal: How was the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, doing where they used to greet him in the Mosque of Bani Amr bin Awf? He said: He was replying. A reference. Both hadiths, in my view, are authentic because the story of Suhaib’s hadith is different from the story of Bilal’s hadith. Even if Ibn Umar narrated from them, then it is plausible. That he heard them all.
