it was also recorded by al-Khaṭīb (5/341). And this Isḥāq is abandoned as mentioned in "Taqrīb." Ibrāhīm ibn ʿUbayd ibn Rafāʿah disagreed with him, saying: from Muḥammad ibn Kaʿb al-Quraẓī, from Abū Ṣirmah, from Abū Ayyūb, in a marfūʿ form similar to it with the wording: "If you had not been. And it has been mentioned recently (968), adding in the isnād 'Abū Ṣirmah,' which is correct, as it was narrated in this way from Abū Ṣirmah, from him, Muḥammad ibn Qays, with the wording we referred to in al-Tirmidhī, coming with number (1963). Among the supporting evidence also: the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿUmar in a marfūʿ form with the wording: "If you did not sin, Allāh would create a creation that sins, then He would forgive them." It was said in "al-Majmaʿ" (10/215): "It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī in 'al-Kabīr' and 'al-Awsaṭ,' and he said in 'al-Awsaṭ': Allāh would create a creation that sins, then seeks forgiveness from Allāh, and He forgives them, for He is the Forgiving, the Merciful."

It was narrated by al-Bazzār, and al-Haythamī said (10/215): "And in it is Yaḥyā ibn Kathīr, the companion of al-Baṣrī, and he is weak." I said: But it has supporting evidence from the ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah with this exact wording, with an addition at the beginning: "By the One in whose hand is my soul," and it will come with number (1950). Thus, the ḥadīth is ṣaḥīḥ due to other evidence.

- "The sick should not be brought to the healthy." It was recorded by al-Bukhārī (10/198, 200), Muslim (7/32), Abū Dāwūd (2/158), al-Ṭaḥāwī (2/275) in "al-Mushkil" (2/262), and Aḥmad (2/406) from the path of al-Zuhrī, from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurayrah in a marfūʿ form. He was followed by Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr: Abū Salamah narrated it to me. It was recorded by Ibn Mājah (2/363) and Aḥmad (2/434). And in its meaning is his ﷺ saying to the leper:
