"authentic according to the criteria of Muslim" and al-Dhahabī agreed with him, and it is as they said. Then Aḥmad also reported it (2/89, 106) through other chains from Mūsá without the exception. He has another chain with him (2/110): Sulaimān narrated to us, Ismāʿīl informed us, Ibn Dīnār informed me from Ibn ʿUmar: "that the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) sent a detachment and appointed Usāmah ibn Zayd over them. Some people criticized his leadership, so the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) stood up and said: If you criticize his leadership, you have already criticized his father's leadership before. By Allāh, he was worthy of leadership, and he was one of the most beloved people to me, and this one is among the most beloved people to me after him." This isnād is authentic. Sulaimān is Ibn Dāwūd al-Hāshimī, and he is a trustworthy, eminent jurist, and Ismāʿīl is Ibn Jaʿfar al-Anṣārī al-Qārī, a reliable and firm narrator. And similarly is Ibn Dīnār, who is ʿAbdullāh. It was also reported by al-Bukhārī and Muslim.

- "The greatest name of Allāh is in three sūrahs of the Quran: in al-Baqarah, Āl ʿImrān, and Ṭāhā." It was reported by Ibn Maʿīn in "al-Tārīkh wa-al-ʿIlal" (10/152/2), Ibn Mājah (3856), al-Ṭaḥāwī in "Mushkil al-Āthār" (1/63), al-Firyābī in "Faḍāʾil al-Qurʾān" (184/1), Tamām in "al-Fawāʾid" (36/2), and Abū ʿAbdullāh ibn Marwān al-Qurashī in "al-Fawāʾid" (25/110/2), and the context is his, and al-Ḥākim (1/506) through the route of ʿAbdullāh ibn al-ʿAlāʾ who said: I heard al-Qāsim Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān reporting from Abū Umāmah as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. Al-Qāsim Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān said: "I searched in al-Baqarah, and it is in Āyat al-Kursī * (Allāh! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence) * and in Āl ʿImrān, its opening * (Allāh! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence) * and in Ṭāhā: * (And all faces will be humbled before the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence) *."
