Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith 644 ⓘ
Ibn Juraij said; I often saw ‘Ata praying while letting his garment trail. Abu Dawud said: This (practice of ‘Ata’) weakens the tradition (narrated by Abu Hurairah).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ الطَّبَّاعِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَكْثَرُ مَا رَأَيْتُ عَطَاءً يُصَلِّي سَادِلاً . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَهَذَا يُضَعِّفُ ذَلِكَ الْحَدِيثَ .
