It was recorded by Mālik (2/985/5), al-Tirmidhī (2/52), Ibn Mājah (3969), Ibn Ḥibbān (1576), al-Ḥākim (1/45-46), Aḥmad (3/469), al-Ḥumaydī (911), and Ibn ʿAsākir in "Tārīkh Dimashq" (10/279 and 286, published by the Scientific Academy) through various chains from Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr ibn ʿAlqamah from his father (from his grandfather) from Bilāl ibn al-Ḥārith al-Muzanī that the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: and he mentioned it. Al-Tirmidhī said: "It is a ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ ḥadīth, and several others narrated it from Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr in a similar manner. They said: from Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr from his father from his grandfather from Bilāl ibn al-Ḥārith. Mālik narrated this ḥadīth from Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr from his father from Bilāl ibn al-Ḥārith, not mentioning from his grandfather." I said: There are other aspects of variation that Ibn ʿAsākir recorded, then he said: All these isnāds have defects, and the correct one is the narration of Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr ibn ʿAlqamah from his father from his grandfather, as it was narrated by al-Thawrī, Ibn ʿUyaynah, and others. Then he presented all their narrations, confirming that this is the preserved one. Then he narrated it through other chains from ʿAlqamah ibn Waqāṣ al-Laythī from Bilāl with it. And this ʿAlqamah is a reliable and trustworthy narrator, thus the ḥadīth is authentic. All praise is due to Allāh. And there is a corroborating report for the ḥadīth from Abū Hurayrah, raised to the Prophet, similar to it but abridged, and it has been mentioned under number (537).

"Indeed, the evil eye can afflict a person by the permission of Allāh until he ascends a high place, then falls from it." It was recorded by Aḥmad (5/146), narrated to us by Yūnus ibn Muḥammad, narrated by Daylam from Wahb ibn Abī Dubay—(thus it is, and in the summary: Danī with a ḍammah on the mīm and a nūn)—from Abū Ḥarb from Miḥjan from Abū Dharr, raised to the Prophet
