4 - As for the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAbbās, it is narrated by Abū Muslim, the leader of the state, from Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbbās, from his father, from his grandfather ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbbās. It was recorded by Tamām in "al-Fawāʾid" (no. 1029) and Abū Nuʿaym in "Tārīkh Iṣbahān" (2/109), and no criticism or endorsement was mentioned regarding this Abū Muslim.

- "Give a ṣāʿ of food." It was recorded by al-Bayhaqī (4/167) and Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ḥilyah" (3/12 and 6/262) through the route of ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Jarrāḥ, who narrated to us from Ḥammād ibn Zayd, from Ayyūb, from Abū Rajāʾ al-ʿAṭṭāridī, from Ibn ʿAbbās who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said. And he said: "It is rare from the narration of Ḥammād and Ayyūb, and I do not know of any narrator for it except ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Jarrāḥ." I said: He is truthful as Abū Zurʿah said, and al-Nasāʾī said: "Trustworthy." Ibn Ḥibbān mentioned him in "al-Thiqāt" and said: "His ḥadīth is upright." As for Abū Ḥātim, he said: "He made many mistakes, but his position is one of truthfulness." I said: His ḥadīth is ḥasan, if Allāh wills. (Note) The food referred to here is other than wheat, for half a ṣāʿ is sufficient for it, according to the ḥadīth of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Thaʿlabah ibn Abī Ṣaʿīr mentioned earlier (1177) with the wording: "Give a ṣāʿ of barley or wheat between two..." Several ḥadīths support this, including the ḥadīth of ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb from his father, from his grandfather, in a marfūʿ form: "... two mudd of wheat or a ṣāʿ of anything else from food." It was recorded by al-Dāraquṭnī (220 and 221) through two routes from Ibn Jurayj from him. Among them is the ḥadīth of Aws ibn al-Ḥadathān in a marfūʿ form with the wording: "Give the zakāt al-fiṭr as a ṣāʿ of food." However, its isnād is very weak and contains an objectionable addition, which is why I included it in the other book (2116).
