" this is a sound isnād according to the criteria of Ibn Ḥibbān, as he mentioned all its narrators in his book of trustworthy narrators." I said: Ibn Ḥibbān's criteria for authentication involve much leniency, as he authenticates unknown narrators like Rabīʿah ibn Nājid, about whom no one narrated except Abū Ṣādiq. It was narrated by al-Ḍiyāʾ al-Maqdisī in "al-Aḥādīth al-Mukhtārah" (67/1) from the mentioned source in its entirety. It was also reported by Aḥmad (5/216/226) and Ibn ʿAsākir in "Tārīkh Dimashq" (8/428/1) through two other chains from al-Miqdām ibn Maʿdī Karib from ʿUbādah ibn al-Ṣāmit with similar content. Thus, the ḥadīth, with all its chains, is authentic, if Allāh wills. Then I saw that Ibn Abī Ḥātim also included it (1/453) from another chain from ʿUbādah with a narration similar to that of Ibn Mājah and said: "My father said: This is a good ḥadīth if it is preserved." And I say: it is undoubtedly preserved with all these chains.

" he was a human among humans: he would inspect his clothes for lice, milk his sheep, and serve himself." It was reported by Imām Aḥmad (6/256): Ḥammād ibn Khālid narrated to us, saying: Layth ibn Saʿd narrated from Muʿāwiyah ibn Ṣāliḥ from Yaḥyá ibn Saʿīd from al-Qāsim from ʿĀʾishah, who said: "I was asked: What did the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) do in his house? She said..." and mentioned it. I said: And this isnād is sound according to the criteria of Muslim. ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ṣāliḥ contradicted him, saying: Muʿāwiyah ibn Ṣāliḥ narrated to me with it, except that he said: "ʿUrwah" instead of "al-Qāsim." It was reported by al-Bukhārī in "al-Adab al-Mufrad" (541) and from him by al-Tirmidhī in "al-Shamāʾil."
