for they are weak, and it was deemed ḥasan due to its coming through other routes. It was narrated by Aḥmad (4/148) through the route of Muʿādh ibn Rafāʿah, who reported to me from ʿAlī ibn Yazīd. Then he narrated it (4/158) through the route of Ibn ʿAyyāsh from Usayd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Khathʿamī from Furwah ibn Mujāhid al-Lakhmī, who said: "I met the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) and he said to me: 'O ʿUqbah ibn ʿĀmir!
