"we used to perform incantations during the pre-Islamic period, so we said: O Messenger of Allāh, what do you think about that? He said: " and he mentioned it. ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ṣāliḥ corroborated it; Muʿāwiyah narrated it to me. It was recorded by al-Bukhārī in "al-Tārīkh al-Kabīr" (4/1/56).

- "Choose suitable partners for your offspring, marry those who are compatible and give in marriage to them." It was recorded by Ibn Mājah (1/706), Ibn ʿAdī in "al-Kāmil" (64/1), al-Dāraqutnī (416), al-Ḥākim (2/163), and al-Khaṭīb (1/264) through the route of al-Ḥārith ibn ʿImrān al-Juʿfī from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah from his father from ʿĀʾishah as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. Then al-Ḥākim narrated it through the route of ʿIkrimah ibn Ibrāhīm from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah with the same content. He said: "The isnād is authentic." Al-Dhahabī critiqued it by saying: "I say al-Ḥārith is accused and ʿIkrimah is weakened." I say: Ibn Abī Ḥātim mentioned it through the first route in "al-ʿIlal" (1/403-404) and said: "My father said: The ḥadīth has no basis, and it was also narrated by Mundil, then he said: My father said: al-Ḥārith is weak in ḥadīth, and this ḥadīth is munkar." I say: al-Khaṭīb mentioned it through other routes from Hishām with the same content, then he said: "All its routes are weak. He said: Abū al-Miqdām Hishām ibn Ziyād narrated it from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah from his father from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) as a mursal ḥadīth, and this is more likely to be correct." Al-Ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Talkhīṣ" (3/146): "And it revolves around weak individuals who narrated it from Hishām, the best of them being Ṣāliḥ ibn Mūsá al-Ṭalḥī and al-Ḥārith ibn ʿImrān al-Juʿfī, and it is ḥasan." He said in "al-Fatḥ" (9/102): "And Abū Nuʿaym also recorded it from the narration of ʿUmar, and there is discussion about its isnād, and one isnād strengthens the other." The ḥadīth was narrated with an additional, objectionable part, which I included because of it in "al-Ḍaʿīfah" (5041)
