and Isḥāq is one of al-Ṭabarānī's teachers, and he is considered unreliable in ḥadīth as Ibn ʿAdī, may Allāh have mercy on him, said. 2-528- (Do not curse the wind, for it is commanded...) Some students found it problematic to authenticate this ḥadīth from the aforementioned ḥadīth scholars, along with Shuʿbah's statement: "Qatādah did not hear from Abū al-ʿĀliyah except three ḥadīths..." He mentioned them, and this is not among them. In response, I say: This limitation is not accepted by scholars because it contradicts reality, as he heard two other ḥadīths from him: one of them is his vision of the Prophet ﷺ seeing Mūsá (peace be upon him) on the night of the Miʿrāj; in al-Bukhārī (3396) and Muslim (1/105). The other is the supplication of distress, which is also in "the two Ṣaḥīḥs," and it is explicitly stated as a narration in Muslim (8/85) and Aḥmad (1/339). Refer to "Tahdhīb al-Tahdhīb" and "Fatḥ al-Bārī" (11/145-146). 3-548- (May Allāh curse the scorpion, it does not leave a praying person...) Then I saw the ḥadīth in "Muṣannaf Ibn Abī Shaybah" printed in India (vol. 10/418/9850) as mursal as I had quoted it from the Ẓāhirīyah manuscript, but the editor of the printed version added in the isnād in brackets: [from ʿAlī]. He referred to his commentary on the same ḥadīth mentioned earlier (vol. 7/40/3604), and he stated there that the addition appeared in "al-Kanz/Kitāb al-Ṭibb" with the symbol (Sh) and others from ʿAlī. I returned to "al-Kanz" and found it in volume ten, page (107 ḥadīth 28544) attributed to (Sh, Hib, and al-Mustaghfirī in "al-Daʿawāt" and Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ṭibb" from ʿAlī). In another nearby place (109/28548) it was attributed to (Ṭs, Ibn Mardawayh, and Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ṭibb" from him). Then I saw it mentioned in "Kitāb al-Qaṣāṣ" (vol. 15/45/40015) attributed in a summarized form without the story to (Hib) from him. Based on this, I had to investigate the authenticity of attributing this addition to Ibn Abī Shaybah first, then its authenticity from ʿAbd al-Raḥīm ibn Sulaymān second. I saw the ḥadīth in "Kitāb al-Ṭibb" by Abū Nuʿaym (folio 97/2) and "Shuʿab al-Īmān" by al-Bayhaqī (2/518/2575), both of which narrated it from the route of Muḥammad ibn ʿUthmān ibn Abī Shaybah: my uncle Abū Bakr informed us: ʿAbd al-Raḥīm ibn Sulaymān informed us with the addition: "from ʿAlī." It became clear to me that this addition is not authentic from them because Muḥammad ibn ʿUthmān ibn Abī Shaybah—who is the nephew of Abū Bakr ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Shaybah, the author of "al-Muṣannaf"—despite being among the ḥadīth preservers, there is significant disagreement about him, with some considering him reliable, saying "there is no harm in him," and others accusing him of fabricating ḥadīth! He has a brief biography in "al-Mīzān," "al-Lisān," and "Siyar al-Aʿlām" (14/21-23), and al-Dhahabī included him in "al-Ḍuʿafāʾ" saying: "A preserver, Jazrah considered him reliable, but ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad accused him of lying." I said: Moreover, he contradicted the eminent trustworthy ḥadīth scholar, Baqī ibn Makhlad, the narrator of "al-Muṣannaf" from Ibn Abī Shaybah, and therefore his addition is considered unreliable and does not hold. Thus, the ḥadīth from Ibn al-Ḥanafiyyah remains mursal, supported by the musnad of Ibn Masʿūd mentioned there, and with Allāh lies success. 4-704- (Do not initiate the greeting with the Jews and Christians...) To be appended to the end of the discussion under it concerning responding to the greeting of the dhimmī is the following: Then one of our brothers read to me from the book "Aḥkām Ahl al-Dhimmah" by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (1/199-200) what perfectly aligns with what I said regarding responding to the People of the Book with the mentioned condition, so all praise is due to Allāh by whose grace righteous deeds are completed
