"he has two raisins." and he added at the end: "then it follows with the rest of his body." Its chain of transmission is authentic if al-Ḥasan, who is al-Baṣrī, heard it from Abū Hurayrah, and all its narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of the two Shaykhs. It has a fourth chain. It was recorded (2/530) where it was said: ʿAlī ibn Ḥafṣ narrated to us, Warqāʾ informed us from Abū al-Zinād from al-Aʿraj from Abū Hurayrah with a similar narration. This chain is authentic, its narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of the two Shaykhs, except that ʿAlī ibn Ḥafṣ is al-Madāʾinī, who was not recorded by al-Bukhārī, so it is according to the criteria of Muslim. It was also recorded (3/73) from the narration of Jābir ibn ʿAbdullāh al-Anṣārī as a marfūʿ narration with a similar meaning, and he said: "When it comes to him, he flees from it, and it calls to him: 'Take your treasure that you have hidden, for I am free of it.'

He replied..." and he mentioned it. I say: This chain is weak, having three defects: the first is the disconnection between ʿAṭāʾ—who is Ibn Abī Rabāḥ—and Umm Salamah, as he did not hear from her, as stated by Aḥmad and Ibn al-Madīnī. The second is Thābit ibn ʿAjlān, about whom there is disagreement, and al-ʿUqaylī mentioned him in "al-Ḍuʿafāʾ" (p. 63) and said: "ʿAbdullāh ibn Aḥmad narrated to us, saying: I asked my father about Thābit ibn ʿAjlān? He said: He used to be..
