حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ رِشْدِينَ بْنِ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا شَرِبَ تَنَفَّسَ مَرَّتَيْنِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ رِشْدِينَ بْنِ كُرَيْبٍ . قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُ أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ رِشْدِينَ بْنِ كُرَيْبٍ قُلْتُ هُوَ أَقْوَى أَوْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كُرَيْبٍ فَقَالَ مَا أَقْرَبَهُمَا وَرِشْدِينُ بْنُ كُرَيْبٍ أَرْجَحُهُمَا عِنْدِي . قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ هَذَا فَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كُرَيْبٍ أَرْجَحُ مِنْ رِشْدِينَ بْنِ كُرَيْبٍ . وَالْقَوْلُ عِنْدِي مَا قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ رِشْدِينُ بْنُ كُرَيْبٍ أَرْجَحُ وَأَكْبَرُ وَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَرَآهُ وَهُمَا أَخَوَانِ وَعِنْدَهُمَا مَنَاكِيرُ .
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
When The Prophet (ﷺ) Drank, He Would Breathe Two Times." [Abu 'Eisa Said:] This Hadith Is Hasan Gharib, We Do Not Know Of It Except As A Narration Of Rishdin Bin Kuraib. He Said: I Asked [Abu Muhammad] 'Abdullah Bin 'Abdur-Rahman About Rishdin Bin Kuraib: "Is He Stronger (In Narration), Or Muhammad Bin Kuraib?" He Said: "Neither Are Better To Me. Rishdin Bin Kuraib Is Preferred Over Them To Me."He Said: I Asked Muhammad Bin Isma'Il About This, So He Said: "Muhammad Bin Kuraib Is Preferred Over Rishdin Bin Kuraib." To Me, The Correct View Is What Abu Muhammad 'Abdullah Bin 'Abdur-Rahman Said: Rishdin Bin Kuraib Is More Preferred And He Is Elder. He Lived To See Ibn 'Abbas, And They Are Brothers, And They Both Have Munkar Narrations In Their Reports."
