as for the ḥadīth of ʿĀʾishah, it is narrated by Ibrāhīm ibn Isḥāq from Muḥammad ibn Qays from her with it. Ibn al-Aʿrābī recorded it in this manner in "al-Muʿjam" (8/1-2) through the route of Isḥāq ibn Manṣūr who informed us, Isrāʾīl from him. Aswad ibn ʿĀmir disagreed, saying: Isrāʾīl narrated to us, saying: Ibrāhīm ibn Isḥāq narrated to us from Ibrāhīm ibn ʿUbayd ibn Rifāʿah from her, with it. Aḥmad recorded it (6/109). I say: This inconsistency is from Ibrāhīm ibn Isḥāq, who is Ibrāhīm ibn al-Faḍl al-Makhzūmī mentioned in "al-Tahdhīb," and he is abandoned as stated in "al-Taqrīb," while the rest of the narrators are trustworthy. This interpretation, even if its elevation is not established, must be adhered to so that the ḥadīth does not conflict with the definitive texts in the Qurʾān and sunnah that a person is not held accountable for the crime of another. Refer to this meaning in ḥadīth (1287) from the other book. The ḥadīth has also been narrated from ʿĀʾishah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhā) in another manner, which, if its isnād were authentic, would resolve the issue and remove the dispute. It is what Salamah ibn al-Faḍl narrated from Ibn Isḥāq from al-Zuhrī from ʿUrwah who said: "It reached ʿĀʾishah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhā) that Abū Hurayrah says: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: 'The child of adultery is the worst of the three.' She said: (May Allāh have mercy on Abū Hurayrah) He misheard and thus misreported; the ḥadīth was not like this. Rather, it was a man (from the hypocrites) who was harming the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), so he said: Who will excuse me regarding so-and-so? It was said: O Messenger of Allāh, he, in addition to what he has, is a child of adultery. The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: 'He is the worst of the three,' and Allāh ﷿ says: *"And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another."* (Sūrah al-Anʿām, verse 164)."
