Use Erciyes to discard a prey's combat card and activate Haqim's Law Retribution

Hey folks! Question: Considering the ruleof Erciyes Fragments, can I use it to get a combat card from my prey's ash heap and discard it to get +1 bleed with Haqim's Law: Retribution?
Considering that Erciyes says that you can Play as if it were in you hand.


The Erciyes Fragments

Haqim's Law: Retribution

You can play the card as if it was on your hand, discard is not play the card, so i think you can't

So, the ruling that says that the card can play an *effect*, the "discard a card" cannot be considered the effect in question, correct?

To discard a card you must have a card in your hand.

When you have a card on erciyes fragment, the card is never in your hand even if you can play it from the fragment.
