629 verified by al-Zahrānī). all of this they said about Ibn Qarāẓah and his ḥadīth, and the man criticizes it due to his ignorance! Is it ignorance or feigned ignorance; or both?! the man did not suffice with weakening this ḥadīth alone from the ḥadīths of Muslim, but there are other ḥadīths he weakened with similar ignorance and unawareness (!) as will be indicated under observation (13). However, I want to clarify here that the number (129) he mentioned at the end of his previously mentioned statement refers to the ḥadīth of Umm Salamah: "There will be rulers appointed over you, and you will recognize and deny..." the ḥadīth, and in it: "They said: Shall we not fight them? He said: No, as long as they establish prayer." narrated by Muslim. The man criticized it with the same ignorance as the previous one; he said (89/6): "There is doubt about its authenticity, for in its isnād is Ḍabbah ibn Muḥṣin, and there is ignorance of his condition." thus he said, may Allāh guide him, for he continues to deviate in opposing the imams, stubbornly persisting, heedless of any knowledge, for this ḥadīth can be said about it the same as we said about the previous one and more. Al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Khalafūn al-Andalusī said about this Ḍabbah: "Trustworthy and well-known." and al-Dhahabī said: "Trustworthy." and al-Ḥāfiẓ said: "Truthful." and al-Tirmidhī authenticated this ḥadīth, and no one weakened it except this later critic. Rather, it is further strengthened by having two supporting narrations; one is the ḥadīth of ʿAwf, and the other is a similar ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah narrated by Ibn Ḥibbān and others with a sound isnād, and its extraction will appear under number (3007), and beneath it is the refutation of this later critic. And Allāh is the one sought for help against the corruption of the people of this time, and the self-admiration of each person with their own opinion,
