Ḥammād from Ibrāhīm from ʿAlqamah ibn Qays said: "I was a man whom Allāh had given a good voice in the Qurʾān, so ʿAbd Allāh would have me recite to him and say: 'Recite, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, for I heard the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say': and he mentioned it." I said: And this isnād's narrators are trustworthy except for Saʿīd ibn Zurayb, who is weak in ḥadīth as the ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Taqrīb".

"Leave the Abyssinians alone as long as they leave you alone, for the treasure of the Kaʿbah will only be extracted by a man with thin legs from Abyssinia." It was narrated by Abū Dāwūd (2/212) and from him by al-Khaṭīb in "al-Tārīkh" (12/403), al-Ḥākim (4/453), and Aḥmad (5/371) through the route of Zuhayr ibn Muḥammad from Mūsá ibn Jubayr from Abū Umāmah ibn Sahl ibn Ḥunayf from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) who said: and he mentioned it. Al-Ḥākim said: "The isnād is authentic" and al-Dhahabī agreed with him. I said: They both erred, for Zuhayr has weakness as will be mentioned. ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq attributed it in "al-Aḥkām al-Kubrā" (110/1) to Ibn Abī Shaybah and then said: "Zuhayr ibn Muḥammad has poor memory and is not relied upon." I said: And Mūsá ibn Jubayr is unknown. Ibn al-Qaṭṭān said: "His condition is not known." Ibn Ḥibbān said in "al-Thiqāt": "He used to make mistakes and contradict [others]!" and the ḥāfiẓ said: "He is obscure."
