Abū Bakr al-Ḥanafī said, then I met Nūḥ who narrated to me from Saʿīd ibn Abī Saʿīd al-Maqburī from Abū Hurayrah similarly, but he did not attribute it [to the Prophet]. I said: This isnād is authentic whether attributed or not, for Nūḥ is trustworthy, as are those below him, and the non-attributed does not undermine the attributed. Because the narrator may sometimes stop at the ḥadīth, but if he narrates it attributed—and he is trustworthy—it is an addition that must be accepted from him. And Allāh knows best. Some of it is with Abū Dāwūd and others from the ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah, and with al-Bukhārī and others from the ḥadīth of Abū Saʿīd ibn al-Muʿallá, and al-Suyūṭī attributed it to him from the ḥadīth of Abū Bakr, which is a pure error as I pointed out in "Takhrīj al-Targhīb" (2/216) and elsewhere, and it is in "Ṣaḥīḥ Abī Dāwūd" (1310-1311).

- "Come closer, my son, and mention the name of Allāh, eat with your right hand, and eat from what is in front of you." It was recorded by al-Tirmidhī (1/340-341) and Aḥmad (4/26) through various chains from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah from his father from ʿAmr ibn Abī Salamah. "The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) entered while there was food, he said:" and he mentioned it. Al-Tirmidhī said: "It has been narrated from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah from Abū Wajzah al-Saʿdī from a man from Muzaynah from ʿAmr ibn Abī Salamah, and the companions of Hishām ibn ʿUrwah have differed in narrating this ḥadīth, and Abū Wajzah al-Saʿdī's name is Yazīd ibn ʿUbayd." I said: It has been authentically connected from Abū Wajzah and others from Ibn Abī Salamah, so it was recorded by Abū Dāwūd (2/141) and Aḥmad (4/27) through various chains from Sulaymān ibn Bilāl who said: Abū Wajzah narrated to us from (and in some chains: informed me) ʿAmr ibn Abī Salamah with it. And this is a sound isnād. Ibn Ḥibbān also recorded it (1339) from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr ibn Abī Salamah who narrated to us from his father from his father... and he mentioned something similar
