narrated through the route of Khālid ibn Yazīd al-ʿAmrī, Ibn Abī Dhiʾb informed us of it, then he said: "We did not rely on the narration of this ḥadīth from Khālid al-ʿAmrī but on the narration of Abū Dāwūd." I said: But his teacher Ibn Mihrān, who is al-Madīnī, the client of Banū Hāshim, is unknown as al-Ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Taqrīb." Then it was narrated (1/437-438) through the route of Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, my uncle Ibn Wahb informed us, Ibn Abī Dhiʾb told me from al-Ḥārith ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān from Kurayb, the client of Ibn ʿAbbās, from Usāmah ibn Zayd, and he said: "Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān is spoken about, although Muslim included him in 'Ṣaḥīḥ' and this ḥadīth was previously mentioned in the narration of ʿUmayr, the client of Ibn ʿAbbās." I said: Thus, the ḥadīth with the combination of the two routes is established, if Allāh wills, especially since there are many ḥadīths concerning the cursing of image-makers and that they are the most severely punished people, some of which are in "Ṣaḥīḥayn" and some have already been mentioned (364).
