I said: This isnād consists of trustworthy men, except for this ʿAmrah who is unknown, and in her biography, Ibn Saʿd mentioned this ḥadīth and did not add anything! Ibn Khuzaymah also narrated this ḥadīth for her in his "Ṣaḥīḥ" or another. However, Aḥmad also reported it (6/145) from Yazīd, who informed us, from Jaʿfar ibn Kaysān, Yaḥyá ibn Isḥāq, and ʿAffān—the meaning, and this is the wording of Yazīd's ḥadīth. They did not differ in isnād and meaning; they said: Jaʿfar ibn Kaysān al-ʿAdawī informed us, saying: Muʿādhah bint ʿAbd Allāh al-ʿAdawiyyah narrated to us, she said: I entered... the ḥadīth. Thus it appeared in this narration: "Muʿādhah bint ʿAbd Allāh," which is an error, and I do not know from whom, for when the ḥāfiẓ translated in "al-Taʿjīl" for Ibn Kaysān, he did not mention this Muʿādhah among his teachers, and Imām Aḥmad stated that they did not differ in its isnād, and he mentioned it from Yaḥyá ibn Isḥāq in two places as previously mentioned correctly. And Allāh knows best. Then I saw that Aḥmad narrated it through the route of Yaḥyá ibn Isḥāq... from Muʿādhah, so it appears that Jaʿfar ibn Kaysān received it from her and from ʿAmrah. And Allāh knows best. And Muʿādhah bint ʿAbd Allāh al-ʿAdawiyyah is trustworthy among the narrators of the two Shaykhs. The ḥadīth has a supporting narration from Jābir, raised with the wording: "The one who flees from the plague is like the one who flees from the battlefield, and the one who remains patient in it is like the one who remains patient in the battlefield." It was reported by Aḥmad (3/324) and ʿAbd ibn Ḥumayd (144/2) through the route of ʿAmr ibn Jābir al-Ḥaḍramī from him. In another narration by Aḥmad (3/352 and 360) with the wording: "... and the one who remains patient in it has the reward of a martyr" instead of "and the one who remains patient in it is like the one who remains patient in the battlefield," and this ʿAmr ibn Jābir is weak as in "al-Taqrīb," but it is strengthened by what preceded. In summary, if the ḥadīth is not authentic, it is at least ḥasan. And Allāh knows best.

- "When Allāh, the Exalted, speaks with revelation, the inhabitants of the heavens hear a sound from the sky like the clanging of a chain on a rock, and they fall unconscious. They remain in this state until Jibrīl comes to them. When Jibrīl comes to them, the fear is removed from their hearts. He says: They say: O Jibrīl! What did your Lord say? He says: The truth. They say: The truth, the truth."
