Jami at-TirmidhiHadith Number 163
وَحَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ . وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ .
Bishr ibn Mu'adh Al-Bari Narrated from:
Similar narration is reported by Bishr ibn Mu'adh Al-Bari who said that : Isma'Il Ibn Ulayyah Narrated To Him From Ibn Juraij. This Latter Chain Is More Correct.

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 163
This narration is mainly about Hadith verification. It mentions that Bishr ibn Mu'adh Al-Basri reported a similar narration through Ismail ibn Ulayyah from Ibn Juraij, and then the text states that this latter chain is more correct. The core topic is not a new prayer action, but the care scholars gave to the chain of a prayer time hadith. It helps readers understand why Hadith collections sometimes include comments about different routes of narration. The teaching is simple: the wording and the chain both matter when preserving reports from the Prophet and the Companions.
What we learn from this hadith
- Hadith scholars compared different chains before preferring one route.
- A similar narration can be preserved with a stronger or more correct chain.
- This entry should be read as a verification note, not as a new separate event.
- Accuracy in transmission is part of protecting the meaning of the Sunnah.
