حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ هَوْذَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ أَمَرَ بِالْإِثْمِدِ الْمُرَوَّحِ عِنْدَ النَّوْمِ وَقَالَ لِيَتَّقِهِ الصَّائِمُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد قَالَ لِي يَحْيَی بْنُ مَعِينٍ هُوَ حَدِيثٌ مُنْکَرٌ يَعْنِي حَدِيثَ الْکُحْلِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2377
Narrated Mabad bin Hudhah: The Prophet ﷺ commanded to apply collyrium mixed with musk at the time of sleep. He said: A man who is fasting should abstain from it. Abu Dawud said: Yahya bin Main said to me: This tradition about the use of collyrium is munkar (i. e. contradicts the sound traditions on the subject).
