they said, but Khālif ibn Hishām disagreed with him. Ḥammād ibn Zayd narrated to us with the wording: "When the servant reaches—or he said: when the servant lives to—sixty years, Allāh has conveyed to him and Allāh has given him ample time in life."

"When a man narrates a ḥadīth and then turns away, it is a trust." It was recorded by Abū Dāwūd (2/297), al-Tirmidhī (1/355), al-Ṭaḥāwī in "Mushkil al-Āthār" (4/335-336), Aḥmad (3/324, 352, 379-380, 394), and Abū Yaʿlá (2/591) through two chains from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAṭāʾ from ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Jābir ibn ʿAtīk from Jābir ibn ʿAbd Allāh as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. Al-Tirmidhī said: "It is a ḥasan ḥadīth, and we only know it from the ḥadīth of Ibn Abī Dhīʾb." I say: Sulaimān ibn Bilāl corroborated it as reported by Aḥmad and al-Ṭaḥāwī. The ḥadīth has a good isnād, as its narrators are trustworthy, though there is some discussion about Ibn ʿAṭāʾ. Al-Bukhārī said: "He has some objectionable narrations." Abū Ḥātim strengthened it, saying: "He should be removed from al-Bukhārī's 'Kitāb al-Ḍuʿafāʾ'." Al-Nasāʾī and Ibn Saʿd declared him trustworthy, and in "al-Taqrīb": "He is truthful but has some weakness." Al-Ḍiyāʾ recorded it in "al-Mukhtārah" through his chain. It has a corroborating narration from Anas as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. It was recorded by Abū Yaʿlá in "his Musnad" (3/1030) and from him by Ibn ʿAsākir (16/92/1). Jabbārah ibn Mughallis narrated to us, Ḥafṣ ibn Ṣubḥ told me—Jabbārah said: one of the most devout people—about Mālik ibn Dīnār from him. Al-Haythamī said (8/98): "It was narrated by Abū Yaʿlá from his shaykh Jabbārah ibn Mughallis, who is very weak. Ibn Numayr said: truthful, and the rest of its narrators are trustworthy."
