and it is in "al-Bukhārī" (2/21) and Muslim (4/1882/57) through another route from Abū Hurayrah, but it does not contain the relevant part. and it is supported by the fifth: from a man of Banū Sulayṭ: "that he passed by the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) while he was sitting at the door of his mosque, wrapped in a striped garment..." narrated by Aḥmad (4/69 - 5/24-381), I said: and its chain of narration is authentic. sixth: from ʿAlī narrated by Ḥanash ibn al-Muʿtamir: "that ʿAlī (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) was in Yemen, and they dug a pit for a lion, and a man fell into it and clung to another... (the ḥadīth) he said: they went to the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), he was reclining and then sat up..." narrated by Aḥmad (1/152) and its chain is good. seventh: and in the ḥadīth of the Tanūkhī, the envoy of Heraclius to the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), he said: "I went with his letter until I reached Tabūk, and there he was sitting among his companions, wrapped in his garment..." narrated by Aḥmad (3/441-442). and its chain is good in supporting evidence. in summary, the ḥadīth is authentic, and it does not harm that its narrator is accused, for even a liar may speak the truth, and what greater evidence of his truthfulness here than these supporting narrations?
