I said: he did not narrate it alone, for it was also reported by al-Daylamī in "Musnad al-Firdaws" (1/1/67) from ʿAlī ibn ʿĀṣim, who narrated to us from Ibn Jurayj from Saʿīd al-Maqburī with it. I said: and this chain of narrators is composed of trustworthy men, the men of the two Shaykhs, except for ʿAlī ibn ʿĀṣim, about whom al-Ḥāfiẓ said: "Truthful but makes mistakes and errors." He was followed by Ibn ʿAjlān from Saʿīd ibn Abī Saʿīd al-Maqburī with it, raised [to the Prophet] with the wording: "Blessing the Muslim when he sneezes three times, if he sneezes again, he is afflicted with a cold." It was reported by Abū Dāwūd (2/603 - al-Ḥalabiyyah) and Ibn al-Sunnī (250), and the wording is his, and Abū Dāwūd did not narrate it in full, but rather referred to the previous wording with its meaning. And it was reported by al-Bukhārī in "al-Adab al-Mufrad" (939) from this perspective as a mawqūf [stopped] narration, and it is a narration for Abū Dāwūd. Its chain is good, both raised and mawqūf, and the preferred view is that it is raised because it agrees with the previous two paths. It is supported by the ḥadīth of Salamah ibn al-Akwaʿ: "that he heard the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) and a man sneezed near him, so he said to him: May Allāh have mercy on you, then he sneezed again, and the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said to him: the man is afflicted with a cold." It was reported by Muslim (2993), Abū Dāwūd, al-Tirmidhī (2744), as well as al-Bukhārī in "al-Adab al-Mufrad" (935 and 238), and Ibn al-Sunnī (249), and al-Tirmidhī said: "A good, authentic ḥadīth."

- "Indeed, Allāh has protected my ummah from agreeing upon misguidance." It was narrated by Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim in "al-Sunnah" (2/1, no. 79 - manuscript copy) from Saʿīd ibn Zurayb from al-Ḥasan from Kaʿb ibn ʿĀṣim al-Ashʿarī, who heard the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say:
