- "Be just among your children, be just among your children, be just among your children." Narrated by al-Bukhārī in "al-Tārīkh al-Kabīr" (2/1/73), Abū Dāwūd (2/110), al-Nasāʾī (2/132 and 133), and Aḥmad (4/275, 288, and 375) through the chain of Ḥammād ibn Zayd from Ḥājib ibn al-Mufaḍḍal ibn al-Muhallab from his father who said: I heard al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr say it, and he mentioned it as a marfūʿ [ḥadīth]. And this chain is good; its narrators are trustworthy except for al-Mufaḍḍal ibn al-Muhallab, who is truthful as stated in "al-Taqrīb." It has also been reported with a different wording that will come in "Inna ʿalayk." Ibn al-Qayyim attributed the ḥadīth in "Tuhfat al-Wadūd" (p. 75 - Hind) to Ibn Ḥibbān in his "Ṣaḥīḥ," and it was not mentioned by al-Haythamī in "Mawārid al-Ẓamʾān." And Allāh knows best.

- "Blessed is he who sees me and believes in me, and blessed—seven times—is he who does not see me and believes in me." Narrated by Aḥmad (5/248, 257, and 264) from Hammām ibn Yaḥyá and Ḥammād ibn al-Jaʿd from Qatādah from Ayman from Abū Umāmah who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said. I say: This isnād is weak; its narrators are trustworthy except for this Ayman, mentioned by Ibn Abī Ḥātim (1/1/319) without adding anything to what is in this isnād that he narrated from Abū Umāmah and from him Qatādah! This means he is unknown, and al-Dhahabī stated this in "al-Mīzān" and mentioned this ḥadīth, saying: "Ibn Ḥibbān mentioned him in 'al-Thiqāt' saying: 'He is Ayman ibn Mālik al-Ashʿarī.'" Al-Ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Lisān": "I said: There is a disagreement about Hammām in the ḥadīth, as ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Mūsá, Abū Dāwūd al-Ṭayālisī, and others said: from Qatādah from him from Abū Umāmah. Abū ʿĀmir al-ʿAqdī said: from Hammām from Qatādah from Ayman from Abū Hurayrah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu), and Allāh knows best. Ibn Ḥibbān authenticated both paths in his (Ṣaḥīḥ)." I say: The path of Abū Hurayrah is in "al-Mawārid" (2303). The first path is more likely in my view due to the agreement of three on it and the singularity of al-ʿAqdī with the other. In any case, the isnād is weak due to the anonymity of Ayman, and Ibn Ḥibbān's authentication of him is unreliable as is well-known, even if al-Haythamī relied on it, saying in the extraction of the ḥadīth (10/67): "Narrated by Aḥmad and al-Ṭabarānī with isnāds and its narrators are those of the Ṣaḥīḥ except for Ayman ibn Mālik al-Ashʿarī, and he is trustworthy." However, the ḥadīth has a supporting narration from Thābit from Anas, marfūʿ: "Blessed is he who believes in me and sees me once, and blessed is he who believes in me and does not see me seven times." Narrated by Aḥmad (3/155), Hāshim ibn al-Qāsim said: Jisr narrated to us from Thābit. I say: This isnād's narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of the two Shaykhs except for Jisr, who is Ibn Farqad and is weak in terms of memory, but he was not alone in narrating it as Abū Yaʿlá said in "Musnad" (857): al-Faḍl ibn al-Ṣabāḥ narrated to us, Abū ʿUbaydah informed us from Muḥtasib from Thābit with it. I say: This isnād's narrators are trustworthy except for this Muḥtasib, who is Ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Aʿmá, as translated by Ibn Abī Ḥātim (4/1/439) without mentioning any criticism or endorsement, and Ibn ʿAdī said in "al-Kāmil" (Q 402/2 - selected): "He narrates from Thābit ḥadīths that are not preserved." Al-Dhahabī said in "al-Mīzān": "Weak." In "al-Majmaʿ" (10/67):
