كان النبى - صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم - يكتحل بالإثمد ثلاثا قبل أن ينام كل ليلة
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) applied ithmid kohl three times every night before sleeping
Hadith Number: 8453
اخبرني ابو عون محمد بن احمد بن ماهان الجزار بمكة على الصفا حرسها الله، حدثنا علي بن عبد العزيز، حدثنا احمد بن يونس، حدثنا إسرائيل، عن عباد بن منصور، عن عكرمة، عن ابن عباس قال: كان رسول الله ﷺ يكتحل بالإثمد ثلاثا قبل ان ينام كل ليلة (2).
هذا حديث صحيح الإسناد، ولم يخرجاه، وعباد لم يتكلم فيه بحجة (1).
هذا حديث صحيح الإسناد، ولم يخرجاه، وعباد لم يتكلم فيه بحجة (1).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to apply ithmid kohl three times (in each of his eyes) every night before sleeping.
This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it; and no criticism has been made of the narrator named Abbad that would invalidate him as a proof.
تخریج الحدیث: «إسناده ضعيف جدًّا، عباد بن منصور ضعيف يدلِّس، وقد دلَّس هذا الخبر عن اثنين، فقد سأله يحيى بن سعيد القطان» [ترقيم الرساله 8453] [ترقيم الشركة 8351]

Hadith-science notes and terminology
Grading: Its chain is very weak (da'if jiddan).
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Abbad bin Mansur is weak and commits tadlis; he concealed two narrators (by tadlis) in this report. Yahya bin Sa'id al-Qattan asked him (as in al-Uqayli's
Reference / Source: "al-Du'afa'" 2/ 635-636) from whom he had heard this hadith, and he said: Ibn Abi Yahya narrated it to me from Dawud bin al-Husayn, from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas.
Important point: We say: this Ibn Abi Yahya is in fact "Ibrahim bin Muhammad al-Aslami", and he is a "matruk" (abandoned) narrator.

(2) إسناده ضعيف جدًّا، عباد بن منصور ضعيف يدلِّس، وقد دلَّس هذا الخبر عن اثنين، فقد سأله يحيى بن سعيد القطان - كما في "الضعفاء" للعقيلي 2/ 635 - 636 - عمَّن سمع هذا الحديث، فقال: حدثني ابن أبي يحيى عن داود بن حصين عن عكرمة عن ابن عباس. قلنا: وابن أبي يحيى هذا: هو إبراهيم بن محمد الأسلمي، وهو متروك.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: Ahmad 5/ (3320) recorded it in similar form (bi-nahwihi) from Aswad bin Amir, from Isra'il, with this chain.
وأخرجه بنحوه أحمد 5/ (3320) عن أسود بن عامر، عن إسرائيل، بهذا الإسناد.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: Ahmad (3318), Ibn Majah (3499) and al-Tirmidhi (1757) and (2048) also recorded it in similar form through two routes from Abbad bin Mansur, from Ikrimah, and al-Tirmidhi graded it "hasan".
وأخرجه بنحوه أيضًا أحمد (3318)، وابن ماجه (3499)، والترمذي (1757) و (2048) من طريقين عن عباد بن منصور، عن عكرمة به. وحسَّنه الترمذي.
Details of the narration: On this topic it is narrated from Abd al-Hamid bin Ja'far, from Imran bin Abi Anas, as "mursal", that: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to apply kohl three times in the right eye and twice in the left", and it does not contain the words "every night".
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: Ibn Abi Shaybah 8/ 21 and 599, and Ibn Sa'd in "al-Tabaqat" 1/ 416, recorded it through various routes from Abd al-Hamid.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Uthman bin Umar, in Abu al-Shaykh's "Akhlaq al-Nabi" p. 170 - and through his route al-Baghawi in "Sharh al-Sunnah" (3205) - went against this and narrated it from Abd al-Hamid, from Imran bin Abi Anas, "from Anas", making it "mawsul" (connected),
Important point: but the preserved (mahfuz) version is the "mursal" one, and its narrators are acceptable (la ba'sa bihim).

وروي في هذا الباب عن عبد الحميد بن جعفر عن عمران بن أبي أنس مرسلًا: أنَّ النَّبِيّ ﷺ كان يكتحل في اليمنى ثلاثًا وفي اليسرى مرتين، وليس فيه أنَّ ذلك كل ليلة. أخرجه ابن أبي شيبة 8/ 21 و 599، وابن سعد في "الطبقات" 1/ 416 من طرق عن عبد الحميد. وخالف عثمان بن عمر عند أبي الشيخ في "أخلاق النَّبِيّ" ص 170 - ومن طريقه البغوي في "شرح السنة" (3205) - فرواه عن عبد الحميد عن عمران بن أبي أنس عن أنس، فوصله. والمحفوظ المرسل، ورجاله لا بأس بهم.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Al-Dhahabi objected in his "Talkhis", saying: Nor is he (the narrator) a proof (hujjah).
