"No servant loves another for the sake of Allāh except that Allāh honors him." Narrated by Aḥmad in "al-Musnad" (9/259) and Ibn Qudāmah in "al-Mutaḥābbīn fī Allāh" (107/1) from Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAyyāsh from Yaḥyá ibn al-Ḥārith al-Dhamārī from al-Qāsim from Abū Umāmah as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. I said: And this is a good Shāmī isnād.

"When the believer complains, Allāh purifies him as the bellows purifies the impurities of iron." Recorded by al-Bukhārī in "al-Adab al-Mufrad" (497) and Ibn Abī al-Dunyā in "al-Maraḍ wa-al-Kaffārāt" (Q 190/1) through two chains from Ibn Abī Dhiʾb from Jubayr ibn Abī Ṣāliḥ from Ibn Shihāb from ʿUrwah from ʿĀʾishah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhā) from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) who said: and he mentioned it. I said: Its narrators are trustworthy except Jubayr ibn Abī Ṣāliḥ, about whom al-Dhahabī said: "It is not known who he is." However, some narrators omitted him from the isnād from Ibn Abī Dhiʾb, so it was recorded by Ibn Ḥibbān (695) and also by Ibn Abī al-Dunyā (Q 167/2) and ʿAbd ibn Ḥumayd in "al-Mukhtār" (Q 191/1 - Maktabah copy) through the route of Ibn Abī Fudayk, and al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Awsaṭ" (1/67/1 - its additions) and al-Qaḍāʿī in "Musnad al-Shihāb" (113/2) from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Nāfiʿ, and Yūsuf ibn Yaʿqūb al-Anbārī in "Ḥadīth" (Q 114/2) narrated to us by al-Zubayr ibn Bakkār who said: Abū ʿAwānah narrated to us, all three from Ibn Abī Dhiʾb from al-Zuhrī with it. And perhaps this is more authentic than the first due to the agreement of the group on it, so the isnād is authentic, if Allāh wills. It was also recorded by al-Khaṭīb in "Talkhīṣ al-Mutashābih" (Q 20/2) from Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Baḥīr who narrated to us from his father who narrated to us from Mālik ibn Anas - he dictated it to me in the year seventy-seven - from Ibn Shihāb with it. And he said: "Ibn Baḥīr with an open bāʾ and a broken ḥāʾ, his son Muḥammad narrated from Mālik ibn Anas strange ḥadīths, the blame for which is on his father, including this ḥadīth."
