"If any of you is afflicted with a calamity, let him remember his calamity with me, for it is the greatest of calamities." Narrated by Ibn Saʿd (2/275): Muḥammad ibn ʿUbayd al-Ṭanafīsī informed us, saying: Faṭr ibn Khalīfah informed us from ʿAṭāʾ ibn Abī Rabāḥ, attributed [to the Prophet]. And it was also reported by al-Dārimī (1/40) through another chain from Faṭr. I say: This isnād is authentic but it is mursal. However, ʿUthmān ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ḥarrānī contradicted them, narrating from Faṭr ibn Khalīfah from Sharḥabīl ibn Saʿd from Ibn ʿAbbās, attributed [to the Prophet]. Narrated by Abū Nuʿaym in "Akhbār Aṣbahān" (1/158). And this al-Ḥarrānī, the ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Taqrīb": "Truthful, but narrated extensively from the weak and unknown, thus he was weakened because of that, to the point that Ibn Numayr accused him of lying, although Ibn Maʿīn considered him trustworthy." I say: And Sharḥabīl ibn Saʿd is also truthful but he became confused. From this perspective, it was narrated by Ibn ʿAdī and al-Bayhaqī in "al-Shuʿab" as in "Fayḍ al-Qadīr" and he said: "And it was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Kabīr" from Sābiṭ al-Jumaḥī and in it is Abū Burdah ʿAmr ibn Yazīd who is weak, and for this reason the author symbolized its weakness but it has supporting evidence." I say: Among its supporting evidence is what was narrated by Ibn Mājah (1/485) through the chain of Mūsá ibn ʿUbaydah: Muṣʿab ibn Muḥammad informed us from Abū Salamah ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān from ʿĀʾishah who said: "The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) opened a door between him and the people, or lifted a curtain, and the people were praying behind Abū Bakr. He praised Allāh for what he saw of their good condition and hoped that Allāh would succeed him among them with what he saw, and said: 'O people, any one of the people, or of the believers, afflicted with a calamity should console himself with his calamity with me over the calamity that befalls him from others, for none of my nation will be afflicted with a calamity after me more severe upon him than my calamity.'"
