Differing grades 3 scholars’ grades Jami' at-Tirmidhi 1896

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، وَيُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سُئِلَ

أَىُّ الشَّرَابِ أَطْيَبُ قَالَ ‏"‏ الْحُلْوُ الْبَارِدُ ‏"

Narrated Az-Zuhri:

"The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked: 'Which drink is the best ?' He said: 'The sweet, cool drink."

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This is how 'Abdur-Razzaq reported it from Ma'mar, from Az-Zuhri, from the Prophet (ﷺ) in Mursal form. This is more correct that the narration of Ibn 'Uyainah (no. 1895).

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 1896) and Ahmad (No. 2963).

قَوْلُهُ : ( حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ) هُوَ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ السِّمْسَارُ الْمَعْرُوفُ بِمَرْدَوَيْهِ , ( وَيُونُسُ ) هُوَ اِبْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي النِّجَادِ الْأَيْلِيُّ. قَوْلُهُ : ( الْحُلْوُ ) بِضَمِّ الْحَاءِ الْمُهْمَلَةِ وَسُكُونِ اللَّامِ ضِدُّ الْمُرِّ ( الْبَارِدُ ) لِأَنَّهُ أَطْفَأُ لِلْحَرَارَةِ وَأَبْعَثُ عَلَى الشُّكْرِ وَأَنْفَعُ لِلْبَدَنِ.…

Zuhri, on ‘Urwa’s authority, told that ‘A’isha said the drink God’s messenger liked best was cold sweet water. Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying the sound version is what was transmitted by Zuhri from the Prophet in mursal form.
