"The most incapable of people is the one who is incapable of supplication, and the most miserly of people is the one who is miserly with greetings of peace." Narrated by ʿAbd al-Ghanī al-Maqdisī in "Kitāb al-Duʿāʾ" (141/2) through Abū Yaʿlá and al-Ṭabarānī through two chains from Masrūq ibn al-Marzubān, narrated to us by Ḥafṣ ibn Ghiyāth from ʿĀṣim al-Aḥwal from Abū ʿUthmān al-Nahdī from Abū Hurayrah as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. I say: This chain is good, and all its narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of the two Shaykhs [al-Bukhārī and Muslim], except for Masrūq, who is truthful but has mistakes, as the ḥāfiẓ said. Thus, his ḥadīth is considered good but does not reach the level of ṣaḥīḥ. Al-Suyūṭī did well when he indicated its goodness in "al-Jāmiʿ al-Ṣaghīr." As for al-Munāwī's critique of it by saying: "Al-Mundhirī said: It is a good strong isnād, and al-Haythamī said: Its narrators are the narrators of the ṣaḥīḥ except for Masrūq ibn al-Marzubān, who is trustworthy, and by this, it is known that the author's indication of its goodness is a shortcoming, and it deserves the indication of its authenticity." This critique has no basis, as he was merely misled by al-Haythamī's statement regarding Ibn al-Marzubān that he is trustworthy. This is a general endorsement after knowing the slight weakness in it. Yes, the ḥadīth is ṣaḥīḥ, for al-Maqdisī provided a supporting narration from the paths of Zayd ibn al-Ḥarīsh, narrated to us by ʿUmar ibn al-Haytham, narrated to us by ʿAwf from al-Ḥasan from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Mughaffal as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. Its narrators are trustworthy except for this ʿUmar, who is unknown as mentioned in "al-Taqrīb." Al-Ḥasan is a mudallis and has narrated it with ʿanʿanah
