especially since it was narrated by Ruwaym at the end of his ḥadīth, explicitly stating that al-Zuhrī narrated from Anas with the wording: "When the land is fertile, dismount from your mounts and give it its due of pasture. But when the land is barren, continue on it and travel by night, for the earth is traversed at night."

"When the land is fertile, dismount from your mounts and give it its due of pasture. But when the land is barren, continue on it and travel by night, for the earth is traversed at night." It was recorded by al-Ṭaḥāwī in "al-Mushkil" (1/31), al-Khaṭīb (8/429), and al-Bayhaqī (5/256) through two chains from Ruwaym ibn Yazīd, who narrated to me from al-Layth ibn Saʿd, from ʿUqayl, from Ibn Shihāb, who informed me that Anas ibn Mālik said that the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said it, and he mentioned it. I say: This isnād is authentic, its narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of the two Shaykhs [al-Bukhārī and Muslim], except for this Ruwaym, who is trustworthy as mentioned in the previous ḥadīth. Al-Haythamī said in "al-Majmaʿ" (5/257): "It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī, and its narrators are trustworthy." And he said in another place (3/213): "It was narrated by Abū Yaʿlá, and it includes Ḥumayd ibn al-Rabīʿ, whom Aḥmad and al-Dāraquṭnī deemed trustworthy, but a group weakened him. It was also narrated by al-Bazzār, and its narrators are those of the authentic collections except for Ruwaym al-Maʿūlī, who is trustworthy." I say: Ḥumayd ibn al-Rabīʿ, according to Abū Yaʿlá in "Musnad" (913), is merely a follower of others, so his weakness does not harm it. The ḥadīth has many supporting narrations, including from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Mughaffal, raised similarly. Al-Haythamī said (3/313): "It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī, and its narrators are trustworthy." Another is from Khālid ibn Maʿdān from his father from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) similarly, and he added at the beginning:
