I said: Abū Zurʿah only narrates from trustworthy sources as mentioned in "al-Lisān" (2/416), and the ḥadīth of Ruwayfiʿ was cited by Ibn Abī Ḥātim in "al-ʿIlal" (2/282) from the narration of Idrīs ibn Yaḥyá from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAyyāsh al-Qutbānī from his father from Shayīm ibn Baytān from Shaybān ibn Umayyah from Ruwayfiʿ ibn Thābit with it. And he said: "My father said: This is a rejected ḥadīth." I said: And this Shaybān is unknown as mentioned in "al-Taqrīb," so perhaps al-Bazzār narrated it through another route. And Allāh knows best. Then I came across the isnād of al-Bazzār in "Zawāʾid" for al-Ḥāfiẓ al-Haythamī and then Ibn Ḥajar, where al-Bazzār said (pp. 167-168): Ibrāhīm - he is Ibn al-Junayd - narrated to us, Saʿīd ibn Asad ibn Mūsá narrated to us, Idrīs ibn Yaḥyá al-Khūlānī narrated to us, ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAyyāsh - he is Ibn ʿAbbās al-Qutbānī - from his father from Shayīm ibn (Qutbān from Shaybān ibn) Umayyah from Ruwayfiʿ ibn Thābit with it. And al-Bazzār said: "We do not know it narrated with this wording except from Ruwayfiʿ, and it is not narrated except with this wording." Al-Haythamī or Ibn Ḥajar said after it: "I said: It is a good isnād!" Thus he said, and it contains the anonymity of Shaybān as you know, and his name was omitted by the copyist as were others that we placed in brackets. And Ibrāhīm ibn al-Junayd appears to be al-Khatlī al-Baghdādī, the trustworthy. See "Lisān al-Mīzān" by Ibn Ḥajar.

- "Present your incantations to me; there is no harm in incantations as long as there is no shirk in them." It was recorded by Ibn Wahb in "al-Jāmiʿ" (119) and from him by Muslim in "al-Ṣaḥīḥ" (7/19) and likewise by Abū Dāwūd (3886) from Muʿāwiyah ibn Ṣāliḥ from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Jubayr from his father from ʿAwf ibn Mālik al-Ashjaʿī who said:
