Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #29433

Abu Hisham Al-Rifai told us, Muhammad bin Fudayl told us, on the authority of Rishdin bin Kurayb, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ibn Abbas, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said “The end of the stars is the two rak’ahs before dawn and the end of the prostration is the two rak’ahs after sunset.” Abu Issa said this. It is a strange hadith that we do not know of as being traced to the Prophet except from this source, from the hadith of Muhammad bin Fudayl on the authority of Rishdin bin Kurayb. Abu Issa said, “I asked Muhammad bin Ismail, on the authority of Muhammad and Rishdin Ibn Kurayb, which of the two is more trustworthy? He said, “The closer of the two, and to me Muhammad is more likely.” He said: I asked Abdullah bin Abdul Rahman about this, and he said, “The two of them closest to me are the closest to me, and Rishdin bin Kurayb is the most preferred to me.” He said, “and the saying” I have what Abu Muhammad and Rushdin said: It is more preferable than Muhammad and earlier, and Rushdin caught up with Ibn Abbas and saw him.
