Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #27850

Abu Saeed Al-Ashjaj told us, Yunus bin Bukayr told us, on the authority of Muhammad bin Ishaq, on the authority of Yahya bin Abbad bin Abdullah bin Al-Zubayr, On the authority of his father, on the authority of his grandfather, Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr, on the authority of al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam, he said: The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, was wearing two armor on the day of Uhud. So he got up to the rock, but he was unable to do so, so Talha sat under it, and the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, climbed on him until he sat on the rock, and he said, “I heard the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him.” He says, “Talha is obligatory.” Abu Issa said, and in this chapter on the authority of Safwan ibn Umayyah and Al-Sa’ib ibn Yazid. This is a good, strange hadith that we only know from the hadith of Muhammad bin Ishaq.
