2 - As for the ḥadīth of Muʿādh, it is narrated by Ṣāmit ibn Muʿādh al-Jundī. ʿAbd al-Majīd ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Abī Rawād narrated to us from Sufyān al-Thawrī from Ṣafwān ibn Sulaym from ʿAdī ibn ʿAdī from al-Ṣanābīḥī from him. It was recorded by al-Khaṭīb in "al-Iqtiḍāʾ" (2) and in "al-Tārīkh" (11/441). This isnād is acceptable for supporting evidence; its narrators are trustworthy except for ʿAbd al-Majīd and Ṣāmit, who are weak. Al-Mundhirī said in "al-Targhīb" (4/198): "It was narrated by al-Bazzār and al-Ṭabarānī with a ṣaḥīḥ isnād." It appears that they narrated it from a different route; otherwise, it is far from being authentic! It was also narrated by Layth from ʿAdī ibn ʿAdī as a mawqūf report. It was recorded by al-Dārimī (1/131) and al-Khaṭīb (3), but he said: "Rajāʾ ibn Ḥaywah" instead of "al-Ṣanābīḥī." The first is more authentic. Layth is Ibn Abī Sulaym, and he is weak. He narrated it as mawqūf, but raising it is correct for these supporting evidences. It has also been narrated from the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAbbās with an addition at the end: "and about our love for the Ahl al-Bayt." With this addition, it is false, and for that reason, I included it in the other book (1922).
