and all its narrators are reliable, the narrators of al-Bukhārī, except for Ḥibbān ibn ʿAlī, who is weak. However, he was not abandoned, as al-Dhahabī said, so someone like him is used for supporting evidence. The narration of al-Layth, which al-Tirmidhī mentioned in a suspended form from ʿUqayl from al-Zuhrī as a mursal, was connected by al-Ṭaḥāwī through the route of Ibn Ṣāliḥ from him. Ibn Ṣāliḥ's name is ʿAbd Allāh, the scribe of al-Layth, and he is weak, so he is not used as evidence when alone, let alone in contradiction.
