English translation

2750. It was reported that Makhūl said: "I was a slave in Egypt belonging to a woman from Banū Hudhail. She freed me, but I did not leave Egypt, while there was knowledge in it, without (first) attaining it, as far as I could. Then I went to Al-Hijāz, and I did not leave it while there was knowledge in it without attaining it, as far as I could. Then I went to Al-'Irāq, and I did not leave it while there was knowledge in it without attaining it, as far as I could. Then I came to Ash-Shām, and I sifted through it. (In all of those places) I asked everyone about the Nafl. I did not find anybody who could tell me anything about it, until I found an old man by the name of Ziyād bin Jāriyah At-Tamīmī. I said to him: 'Did you hear anything about the Nafl?' He said: 'Yes, I heard Ḥabīb bin Maslamah Al-Fihrī saying: "I witnessed the Prophet ﷺ giving a fourth in Nafl at the outset, and one third upon the return (from the journey)."' (Ḥasan)

2750 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بَشِيرِ بْنِ ذَكْوَانَ، وَمَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الدِّمَشْقِيَّانِ الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَهْبٍ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ مَكْحُولًا، يَقُولُ: كُنْتُ عَبْدًا بِمِصْرَ لِامْرَأَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي هُذَيْلٍ فَأَعْتَقَتْنِي، فَمَا خَرَجْتُ مِنْ مِصْرَ وَبِهَا عِلْمٌ إِلَّا حَوَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ فِيمَا أُرَى، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ الْحِجَازَ فَمَا خَرَجْتُ مِنْهَا وَبِهَا عِلْمٌ إِلَّا حَوَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ فِيمَا أُرَى، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ الْعِرَاقَ فَمَا خَرَجْتُ مِنْهَا وَبِهَا عِلْمٌ إِلَّا حَوَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ فِيمَا أُرَى، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ الشَّامَ فَغَرْبَلْتُهَا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ أَسْأَلُ عَنِ النَّفَلِ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يُخْبِرُنِي فِيهِ بِشَيْءٍ، حَتَّى لَقِيتُ شَيْخًا يُقَالُ لَه زِيَادُ بْنُ جَارِيَةَ التَّمِيمِيُّ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: هَلْ سَمِعْتَ فِي النَّفَلِ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ سَمِعْتُ حَبِيبَ بْنَ مَسْلَمَةَ الْفِهْرِيَّ يَقُولُ: «شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَفَّلَ الرُّبُعَ فِي الْبَدْأَةِ، وَالثُّلُثَ فِي الرَّجْعَةِ»
