and from the path of Sufyān: Ḥuṣayn ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Sulamī narrated to us from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Laylā as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. Muḥammad ibn Faḍl differed from him, narrating it from Ḥuṣayn ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān from Ibn Abī Laylā from Abū Ayyūb (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) as a marfūʿ ḥadīth with it. It was recorded by al-Ḥākim, and both he and al-Dhahabī remained silent about it, seemingly due to this difference, otherwise, all its narrators are trustworthy. Then Abū Nuʿaym recorded a supporting narration for it (1/10) from the path of Abū ʿĀṣim Qays ibn Naṣīr al-Asadī: Abū Muʿāwiyah narrated to us from al-Aʿmash from Abū Ṣāliḥ from Abū Hurayrah as a marfūʿ ḥadīth with it. This isnād is according to the conditions of the two Shaykhs except for this Qays, for whom I did not find a biography. However, there is another path for it with him (1/8) from the path of al-Mughīrah ibn Muslim from Maṭar al-Warrāq and Hishām ibn Ḥassān from Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn from Abū Hurayrah with it. I say: This isnād is authentic, its narrators are trustworthy, and there is some criticism of al-Warrāq regarding his memory, but here he is followed, which strengthens the ḥadīth as is evident. As for the second part of the ḥadīth, it is in "the two Ṣaḥīḥs" and others from other paths from Abū Hurayrah similar to what has been previously extracted.

- "If Usāmah were a girl, I would clothe him and adorn him until I spent him." It was narrated by Ibn Mājah (no. 1976), Aḥmad (6/139 and 222), Ibn Saʿd (4/43), Abū Yaʿlá (3/1131), and Ibn ʿAsākir (2/346/1-2) from Sharīk from al-ʿAbbās ibn Dhurayḥ from al-Bahī from ʿĀʾishah who said: Usāmah stumbled on the threshold, injuring his face, so the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: Remove the harm from him. Did she find it distasteful? So he began to suck the blood from him and spit it from his face, then he said: and mentioned it. I say: This isnād is weak due to Sharīk, who is Ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Qāḍī, for he is weak due to his frequent mistakes. Therefore, the statement of al-Ḥāfiẓ al-ʿIrāqī after attributing it to Aḥmad: "Its isnād is authentic" is incorrect, and similarly the statement of al-Būṣīrī in "al-Zawāʾid": "Its isnād is authentic" is incorrect
