حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ مُوسَی حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْلَی الْکُوفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقُرَشِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ عَلَّاقٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَعَشَّوْا وَلَوْ بِکَفٍّ مِنْ حَشَفٍ فَإِنَّ تَرْکَ الْعَشَائِ مَهْرَمَةٌ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُنْکَرٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَعَنْبَسَةُ يُضَعَّفُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ وَعَبْدُ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ عَلَّاقٍ مَجْهُولٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1856
Narrated Anas bin Malik: That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Take the 'Asha' meal, even if it is just with a handful of something to fill. For indeed avoiding the 'Asha' is from senility. [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Munkar, we do not know of it except from this route. 'Anbasah was graded weak is Hadith. 'Abdul-Malik bin 'Allaq is unknown.
