thus, it is disconnected between him and Abū Saʿīd, and I do not know if the matter is the same between his peer al-Ḥajjāj al-Kalāʿī and Abū Saʿīd. I have found another route for the ḥadīth, which was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Ṣaghīr" (p. 197), al-Khaṭīb (7/392), as well as Abū Bakr al-Shāfiʿī in (al-Fawāʾid) (73/256/1-2), Abū Muḥammad al-Jawharī in "al-Fawāʾid al-Muntaqāh" (4/2), and al-Wāḥidī in "al-Wasīṭ" (1/126/2) through the route of Layth from Mujāhid from Abū Saʿīd with the wording: "for it is a light for you on earth and a mention in the heavens." similar to it, and al-Ṭabarānī said: "It is not narrated from Abū Saʿīd except through this isnād." I said: He missed Aḥmad's isnād, and the ḥadīth with the combination of the two routes is ḥasan in my view. al-Haythamī said in "al-Majmaʿ" (4/215): "It was narrated by Aḥmad and Abū Yaʿlá... and the men of Aḥmad are trustworthy, and in the isnād of Abū Yaʿlá is Layth ibn Abī Sulaym, who is a mudallis." I said: I do not know anyone who accused him of tadlīs; rather, he is weak due to his confusion and frequent mistakes. Part of it is supported by a ḥadīth from Anas about the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) who said: "Every prophet has a form of monasticism, and the monasticism of this ummah is jihād in the way of Allāh." It was recorded by Aḥmad (3/266) from Zayd al-ʿAmmī from Abū Iyyās from him. I said: This isnād is weak due to Zayd, who is Ibn Abī al-Ḥawārī, and he is weak as mentioned in "al-Taqrīb," and al-Dāraquṭnī and others said about him "ṣāliḥ," so he is used for support
