English Translation
As Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Harith al-Faqih informed us, Ali ibn Umar al-Hafiz informed us, Abu Bakr al-Naysaburi narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn al-Junayd narrated to us, Abu Asim narrated to us from Sufyan from Ya'la ibn Ata from Jabir ibn Yazid from his father who said: I prayed with the Prophet (peace be upon him). When he finished, he saw two men at the back of the congregation. He called them, and they came trembling. He said: 'Why did you not pray with us?' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we prayed in our camps.' He said: 'Do not do that. If one of you has prayed in his camp and then comes to the imam, let him pray with him and make the one he prayed at home a voluntary prayer.' Ali said: The companions of al-Thawri disagreed with him, and with them the companions of Ya'la ibn Ata — including Shu'bah, Hisham ibn Hassan, Sharik, Ghaylan ibn Jami', Abu Khalid al-Dalani, Mubarak ibn Fadalah, Abu Awanah, Hushaym and others — who narrated it from Ya'la ibn Ata like the narration of Waki' from Sufyan. Ali said: Hajjaj ibn Arta'ah also narrated it from Ya'la ibn Ata from his father from Abdullah ibn Amr from the Prophet (peace be upon him) similarly, saying: 'It will be a voluntary prayer for you, and the one in your camps is the obligatory prayer.' Ali said: Abu Bakr al-Naysaburi and others narrated it to us from Ali ibn Harb from Ibn Numayr from Hajjaj with that. The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Hajjaj ibn Arta'ah erred in his chain of narration, even if he was correct in his text. The correct version is the narration of the majority. Al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in the Old School the argument of those who used the hadith of Ya'la ibn Ata, then said: This is an unknown chain. He said that — and Allah knows best — because Yazid ibn al-Aswad has no narrator other than his son Jabir ibn Yazid, and Jabir ibn Yazid has no narrator other than Ya'la ibn Ata. However, Yahya ibn Ma'in and a group of scholars considered Ya'la ibn Ata trustworthy, and this hadith has supporting narrations that have been mentioned previously, so using it along with its supporting evidence is valid. And Allah knows best.
