and he has another authentic route with him, similar to it but more complete, which I have mentioned previously with the wording: "Whose intercession prevents..." Refer to it under number (437), and it is also included in "al-Irwāʾ" under number (2376) and is currently being printed.

"If someone whose character and religion you are pleased with comes to you, then marry him [to your daughter]. If you do not do so, there will be turmoil on earth and widespread corruption." It was recorded by al-Tirmidhī (1/201), Ibn Mājah (1/606-607), al-Ḥākim (2/164-165), and al-Khaṭīb in "al-Tārīkh" (11/61) through the route of ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn Sulaymān al-Anṣārī - the brother of Fulaīḥ - from Muḥammad ibn ʿAjlān from Ibn Wathīmah al-Baṣrī from Abū Hurayrah as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. Al-Tirmidhī said: "ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn Sulaymān was contradicted, for al-Layth ibn Saʿd narrated it from Ibn ʿAjlān from Abū Hurayrah from the Prophet ﷺ as a mursal ḥadīth (meaning disconnected)." Muḥammad - meaning al-Bukhārī - said: "The ḥadīth of al-Layth is more likely, and the ḥadīth of ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd is not considered preserved." Al-Ḥākim said: "It has a ṣaḥīḥ isnād." Al-Dhahabī commented on this by saying: "I say: ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd, according to Abū Dāwūd, was unreliable, and Wathīmah is unknown." I say: It appeared as "Wathīmah" with al-Ḥākim. However, it is "Ibn Wathīmah" as it appears with all who recorded it, and he is known, for he is Zufar ibn Wathīmah ibn Mālik ibn Aws al-Ḥadathān al-Naṣrī - with a nūn - al-Dimashqī. Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Muhājir also narrated from him, and Ibn al-Qaṭṭān said: He is unknown in status, and Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Shāʿibī narrated exclusively from him. Al-Dhahabī said in "al-Mīzān": "I say: Ibn Maʿīn and Daḥīm declared him trustworthy." Al-Ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Taqrīb": "Acceptable." I say: The defect in the ḥadīth is this ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd, for he is weak, and the reliable narrator contradicted him by narrating it as mursal as al-Tirmidhī mentioned. If not for that, its isnād would be considered ḥasan by me, although it is ḥasan due to other supporting narrations, as it has a witness with the wording: "If someone comes to you..." It is recorded in "al-Irwāʾ" (1868).
