"indeed, Allāh loves a multitude of hands on food." It was recorded by al-Dūlābī in "al-Kuná" (1/188) with a weak chain. It seems to me that the ḥadīth was well-known among the early generations; for it was narrated by al-Aṣbahānī in "al-Targhīb" (2/819) from ʿAṭāʾ in a disconnected form. It was also narrated by al-Bayhaqī in "al-Shuʿab" (5/76/5837) from al-Awzāʿī in the same manner. 11- 907- (the best of your leaders...). This ḥadīth was recorded by Imām Muslim, Ibn Ḥibbān as well (7/55/4570 - al-Iḥsān), and Abū ʿAwānah (4/482-486), all of them narrating it through the route of Muslim ibn Qarāẓah from ʿAwf ibn Mālik (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu). I said. This ḥadīth was criticized by the one referred to in correction number (6), as he faulted it in his commentary on what he called "Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn" by saying: "Muslim ibn Qarāẓah is unknown in status. See ḥadīth number (129)." He was unaware that the inclusion of this ḥadīth by these three in their "Ṣaḥīḥ" collections serves as their authentication of him; I mean Muslim, Ibn Ḥibbān, and Abū ʿAwānah, and he also ignored that Ibn Ḥibbān included him in "al-Thiqāt" (5/396), and al-Dhahabī asserted in "al-Kāshif" that he is trustworthy, which is why his teacher Shuʿayb al-Arnaʾūṭ could only say in his commentary on "al-Iḥsān" (10/449): "Its chain is strong according to Muslim's criteria." And why not, when the man is a well-known Tābiʿī as al-Bazzār said?! And Yaʿqūb ibn Sufyān mentioned him in the highest class of the Tābiʿīn of the people of al-Shām in his book "al-Maʿrifah" (2/333). Similarly, in "Tārīkh Ibn ʿAsākir" (16/482) from Abū Zurʿah al-Dimashqī, he mentioned him in the class following the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, which is the highest. In addition to this, Imām Aḥmad used this ḥadīth as evidence against the permissibility of rebelling against the leaders, and he mentioned that it came from multiple routes. As narrated from him by al-Khallāl in "al-Sunnah" (1/3/
