ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Jubayr ibn Nufayr narrated it from his father, from al-Miqdād ibn al-Aswad, as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. Al-Ḥanāʾī said: "We do not know it except from the narration of Abū Ṣāliḥ, the scribe of al-Layth ibn Saʿd." I said: Others have recognized it through different routes, for Abū Dāwūd has also recorded it from the narration of al-Layth ibn Saʿd as you have seen, and its wording is more complete: "Truly, the fortunate one is he who avoids trials, truly, the fortunate one is he who avoids trials, truly, the fortunate one is he who avoids trials, and for the one who is tested and remains patient, oh how wonderful." I said: And this isnād is authentic according to the criteria of Muslim.

- "The mill of Islam will turn after thirty-five or thirty-six or thirty-seven years. If they perish, then it is the way of those who perished, and if their religion is established for them, it will remain for seventy years." I said: (In another narration: ʿUmar said, 'O Prophet of Allāh'): "From what remains or from what has passed?" He said: "From what has passed." This is an authentic ḥadīth from the signs of his prophethood (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), narrated from him by ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu), and it has multiple routes from him. The first: from Manṣūr, from Ribʿī ibn Ḥirāsh, from al-Barāʾ ibn Nājah, from him with it. It was recorded by Abū Dāwūd (4254), al-Ṭaḥāwī in "Mushkil al-Āthār" (1/235-236), al-Ḥākim (4/521), Aḥmad (1/393), Abū Yaʿlá in "al-Musnad" also (Q 255/1), Ibn al-Aʿrābī in "Muʿjam" (Q 141/2), Ibn ʿAdī in "al-Kāmil" (Q 91/1), al-Khaṭīb in "al-Faqīh wa-al-Mutafaqqih" (Q 63/2), and al-Khaṭṭābī in "Gharīb al-Ḥadīth" (Q 116/2 - 117/1) from various routes from Manṣūr with it. Al-Ḥākim said: "Authentic isnād." Al-Dhahabī agreed with him
