1 - as for the ḥadīth of Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, it is narrated by ʿAṭiyyah al-ʿAwfī from him with it. It was recorded by Ibn al-Mubārak in "al-Zuhd" (1597), al-Tirmidhī (1/70/316), Ibn Mājah (4273), Aḥmad (3/7 and 73), and Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ḥilyah" (5/105 and 7/130 and 312) through various chains from him, and al-Tirmidhī said: "A good ḥadīth." I say: meaning it is good due to other supporting evidence because ʿAṭiyyah al-ʿAwfī is weak, as a group narrated from him in this way, and others narrated it in two other ways as will be mentioned. He was followed by Abū Ṣāliḥ from Abū Saʿīd with it. It was recorded by Abū Yaʿlá in "Musnad" (71/1), Ibn Ḥibbān (2569), and al-Ḥākim (4/559) through two chains from al-Aʿmash from Abū Ṣāliḥ with it, and al-Ḥākim said: "If it were not for Abū Yaḥyá al-Taymī in the chain, I would have judged the ḥadīth as authentic according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs." I say: Jareer followed him from al-Aʿmash according to Abū Yaʿlá and Ibn Ḥibbān, so the chain is authentic according to their criteria. 2 - as for the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAbbās, it is narrated by Muṭarrif from ʿAṭiyyah from him with it. It was recorded by Aḥmad (1/326) and al-Ḥākim from Muṭarrif from ʿAṭiyyah. 3 - as for the ḥadīth of Zayd ibn Arqam, it is narrated by Khālid ibn Ṭahmān from ʿAṭiyyah with it. It was recorded by Aḥmad (4/374) and Ibn ʿAdī (Q 116/1). I say: and ʿAṭiyyah, as you know, is weak, and part of his weakness is that he was inconsistent in his isnād, narrating it in these three ways, the first being the most common from him, and all the narrators from ʿAṭiyyah mentioned it with the wording "the owner of the horn" except for Ḥajjāj according to Ibn Mājah alone, who narrated it with the wording: "Indeed, the bearers of the trumpets have two horns in their hands, watching for the command." And Ḥajjāj is a mudallis and he narrated it with ʿanʿanah. A similar narration is that of Abū Murayyah in the following ḥadīth. 4 - as for the ḥadīth of Anas, it is narrated by Aḥmad ibn Manṣūr ibn Ḥabīb Abū Bakr al-Marwazī al-Khaṣīb: ʿAffān narrated to us, Hammām narrated to us from Qatādah from him with it, except for his saying "the Muslims said..."
