and he was also contradicted by Ibrāhīm ibn Ḥamzah al-Zubayrī from Muḥammad ibn Ṭalḥah in it. It was recorded by al-Baghawī in "Sharḥ al-Sunnah" (3/3/1) and he said: "ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿUwāym did not have companionship [with the Prophet]." Al-Bayhaqī also said this after narrating it through ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Zubayr al-Ḥumaydī, who reported to us from Muḥammad ibn Ṭalḥah in it.

And he said: "No one narrated it from Baḥr except ʿIṣmah." I said: it is a weak isnād, filled with defects: the first: the ʿanʿanah of Abū al-Zubayr, as he was a mudallis. The second: Baḥr al-Saqā, as he is weak as mentioned in "al-Taqrīb": the third: ʿIṣmah ibn al-Mutawakkil, al-ʿUqaylī said in "al-Ḍuʿafāʾ" (325):
