"You will certainly follow the ways of those who came before you, inch by inch, and arm by arm, and fathom by fathom, until if one of them were to enter a lizard's hole, you would enter it too, and if one of them were to have intercourse with his mother in the street, you would do it too." Narrated by al-Dūlābī in "al-Kuná" (2/30) and al-Ḥākim (4/455) from Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Uways from his father from Abū ʿUrwah Mūsá ibn Maysarah al-Daylamī and his nephew Thawr al-Daylamī ibn Zayd from ʿIkrimah from Ibn ʿAbbās as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. He said: "And I do not know them except that they narrated to me similarly from Abū al-Ghayth Sālim, the freed slave of Ibn Muṭīʿ, from Abū Hurayrah from the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam)." It is not found in al-Ḥākim: "He said: 'And I do not know them...'" and he said: "Authentic, and al-Dhahabī agreed with him." I said: Its narrators are the narrators of the authentic collections except for Mūsá ibn Maysarah al-Daylamī, who is trustworthy, and he has a follower. Abū Uways's name is ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Uways al-Aṣbaḥī, and although Muslim relied on him, he has some weakness, as does his son Ismāʿīl, but he has been followed. Ibn Naṣr said in "al-Sunnah" (13): Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyá narrated to us, Ismāʿīl ibn Abān al-Warrāq informed us (he narrated) from Abū Uways from Thawr ibn Zayd from ʿIkrimah with it. Al-Bazzār said in "Musnad" (235 - Zawāʾid): Muḥammad ibn ʿUmar ibn Hayāj al-Kūfī narrated to us, Ismāʿīl ibn Ṣubayḥ narrated to us, Abū Uways narrated to us from Thawr ibn Zayd from ʿIkrimah with it. He said: "We do not know it except with this isnād, and Thawr is a trustworthy Madanī, the isnād is good." I said: And it is as he said, if Allāh wills, that it is a good isnād, as I have known from the condition of Abū Uways and the rest of its narrators are trustworthy. Rather, the ḥadīth is authentic, as it has a corroborating narration from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr similar to it, recorded by al-Tirmidhī and al-Ḥākim (1/129) with a weak isnād, as I have clarified in "Takhrīj al-Mishkāt" (171), and it has another corroboration in "al-Majmaʿ" (7/261)
