فحدثناه علي بن حمشاذ العدل، حدثنا عبيد بن عبد الواحد، حدثنا محمد بن وهب بن ابي كريمة، حدثنا محمد بن حرب، عن الزبيدي، عن الزهري، عن انس بن مالك، قال: رايت النبي ﷺ توضا وخلل لحيته باصابعه من تحتها، وقال:"بهذا امرني ربي" (1).
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution and combed through his beard from underneath with his fingers, and said: "This is what my Lord has commanded me."

Grading: This chain is "hasan", in sha' Allah.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: Muhammad bin Wahb is corroborated (mutaba'ah) by Muhammad bin 'Abd Allah bin Khalid al-Saffar (as found in Imam al-Dhuhli's "'Ilal Hadith al-Zuhri", as cited in Ibn al-Qattan's "al-Wahm wa al-Iham" 5/ 220), and also by Kathir bin 'Ubayd al-Hadhdha' (in al-Tabarani's "Musnad al-Shamiyyin" 1691). Both of these narrators are "saduq" (truthful), and they narrated it from Muhammad bin Harb with this same chain.

(1) إسناده حسن إن شاء الله، وتابع محمدَ بنَ وهب فيه محمدُ بنُ عبد الله بن خالد الصفّار عند محمد بن يحيى الذهلي في "علل حديث الزهري" كما في "الوهم والإيهام" لابن القطان الفاسي 5/ 220، وكثيرُ بن عبيدٍ الحذّاء عند الطبراني في "مسند الشاميين" (1691)، وهما صدوقان، فروياه عن محمد بن حرب بهذا الإسناد.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Yazid bin 'Abd Rabbih contradicted these narrators and narrated it from Muhammad bin Harb, from al-Zubaydi, with the words of a "balagh" (i.e. that this report reached al-Zubaydi). Although Yazid is thiqah, and according to Imam al-Dhuhli his narration is the preserved (mahfuz) one while that of al-Saffar is weak, our position is that al-Saffar is not alone in it; rather, two other narrators have corroborated him.
وخالفهم يزيد بن عبد ربه - فيما خرَّجه الذهلي - فرواه عن محمد بن حرب عن الزبيدي أنه بلغه عن أنس بن مالك، فذكره. ويزيد ثقة، قال الذهلي: حديثه هو المحفوظ عندنا، وحديث الصفّار واهٍ. قلنا: لكن الصفار لم ينفرد به، فقد تابعه عليه اثنان.
Reference / Source: A similar narration was recorded by Abu Dawud (145) and Ibn Majah (431) through two routes from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him).
Technical note / Defect ('illah): There is scholarly criticism (jarh) of both of these chains, and the chain of Imam Ibn Majah is even weaker.

وأخرج نحوه أبو داود (145)، وابن ماجه (431) من طريقين عن أنس، وفي كليهما مقال، وإسناد ابن ماجه أشدُّ ضعفًا.
