1 - as for the ḥadīth of Ibn Masʿūd, it is narrated by Ibrāhīm ibn Ismāʿīl ibn Yaḥyá ibn Salamah ibn Kuhayl: "My father narrated to me from his father from Salamah ibn Kuhayl from Abū al-Zarʿah from him." It was recorded by al-Tirmidhī (2/311) and al-Ḥākim (3/75) who said, "Its isnād is authentic." However, al-Dhahabī refuted it by saying, "I say: its chain is weak." This is clarified by al-Tirmidhī's statement following it: "We do not know it except from the ḥadīth of Yaḥyá ibn Salamah ibn Kuhayl, and he is weak in ḥadīth." I say: Rather, he is abandoned as al-Ḥāfiẓ said, and similarly his son Ismāʿīl and his son Ibrāhīm are weak. There is another route for the ḥadīth of Ibn Masʿūd recorded by Ibn ʿAsākir (9/323/1) from Aḥmad ibn Rushdāb ibn Khuthaym: "Ḥumayd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān informed us from al-Ḥasan ibn Ṣāliḥ from Farās ibn Yaḥyá from al-Shaʿbī from ʿAlqamah ibn Qays from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd with it, except for the second part of it." I say: Its narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of Muslim, except for this Aḥmad whom I did not recognize. 2 - as for the ḥadīth of Ḥudhayfah, it is narrated by ʿAbd al-Malik ibn ʿUmayr (from a client of Ribʿī ibn Ḥirāsh) from Ribʿī ibn Ḥirāsh from him in a similar manner. It was recorded by al-Tirmidhī (2/290), al-Ṭaḥāwī in "al-Mushkil" (2/83-84), Aḥmad (5/385 and 402), al-Ḥumaydī in "Musnad" (1/214/249), Ibn Saʿd (2/334), Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim in "al-Sunnah" (1048 and 1049 - with my verification), Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ḥilyah" (9/109), al-Khaṭīb (12/20), al-Ḥākim (3/75), and Ibn ʿAsākir (9/323/1 and 12/31/1) from various routes from ʿAbd al-Malik, some in abbreviated form and some in detail. Some mentioned the client, and some did not, which al-Ḥākim preferred in contrast to Abū Ḥātim in "al-ʿIlal" (2/381). Its narrators are trustworthy with the client, and Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim named him Hilāl in one of his narrations, and he is acceptable according to al-Ḥāfiẓ. ʿAmr ibn Hurm followed him from Ribʿī ibn Ḥirāsh with it
