756. ‘Aishah narrated: “I did not see the Prophet ﷺ fasting at all during the ten.” (Saḥīh)
Abū ‘Eisā said: This is how it was reported by more than one from Al-A’mash, from Ibrāhīm, from Al-Aswād, from ‘Aishah. Ath-Thawrī and others narrated this Ḥadīth from Manṣūr, from Ibrāhīm: “That the Prophet ﷺ was not seen fasting during the ten.” Abū Al-Aḥwaṣ reported it from Manṣūr, from Ibrāhīm, from ‘Aishah, and he did not mention Al-Aswād in it. So they disagree with Manṣūr in this
Hadīth, and the narration of Al-A'mash is more correct and has a more connected chain.
He said: I heard Abū Bakr Muḥammad bin Abān saying: "I heard Waki' saying: 'Al-A'mash has preserved the chain of Ibrāhīm better than Manšūr.'"
