that Abū al-Qāsim was used as a kunya for Mūsá al-Sarrāj, which is correct, as al-Khaṭīb used this kunya in his biography (13/64) and authenticated him. Ibn Ḥasanūn al-Narsī is Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad. Al-Khaṭīb mentioned him (1/356) and said: "We wrote from him, and he was truthful and trustworthy, one of the people of the Qurʾān with good beliefs." The rest of the men in the isnād are well-known trustworthy narrators, so it is a ṣaḥīḥ isnād. And Allāh knows best.

"Make the adhān even and the iqāmah odd." It was narrated by al-Dāraqutnī in "al-Afrād" (no. 50, vol. 2) through the path of ʿĀmir ibn Sīyār, who reported from Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Malik, who reported from Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir, from Jābir, who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: and he mentioned it. He said: "It is a gharīb ḥadīth from Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir from Jābir, and Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Malik al-Anṣārī is the only one who narrated it, and we do not know anyone else who narrated it from him except ʿĀmir ibn Sīyār." I say: A group of trustworthy narrators reported from him, and Ibn Ḥibbān mentioned him in "al-Thiqāt" and said: "He might narrate something strange," as in "al-Mīzān." As for Ibn Abī Ḥātim, he said (3/1/322) from his father: "Unknown." It is supported by what al-Khaṭīb narrated (4, 434) through the path of Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥīm al-Ḥūṭī, who reported from Yaḥyá ibn Yazīd al-Khawwāṣ, who reported from Ḥammād, from Khālid al-Ḥadhdhāʾ, from Abū Qilābah, from Anas ibn Mālik that the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said to Bilāl: and he mentioned it. I say: I do not know al-Khawwāṣ and al-Ḥūṭī, but the ḥadīth is ṣaḥīḥ as it is in "al-Ṣaḥīḥayn" and other collections through the path of Khālid with the wording: "He commanded Bilāl to make the adhān even and the iqāmah odd." The statement of the Companion: "He commanded" is considered marfūʿ as established in the principles, and it was also narrated by al-Ḥākim (1/198) explicitly raising it through the path of ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Thaqafī, from Ayyūb, from Abū Qilābah with the wording: "The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) commanded Bilāl to make the adhān even and the iqāmah odd." He said: "Ṣaḥīḥ according to the criteria of al-Shaykhayn." And al-Dhahabī agreed with him, and it is as they said.
