and there is supporting evidence for the ḥadīth from the narration of Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, raised [to the Prophet] with the wording: "The first thing a servant will be asked about and held accountable for is his prayer. If it is accepted from him, the rest of his deeds will be accepted, and if it is rejected, the rest of his deeds will be rejected." It was recorded by al-Salafī in "al-Ṭuyūriyyāt" (Q 86/1) from ʿAmr ibn Qays al-Malāʾī from ʿAṭiyyah al-ʿAwfī from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī. I said: ʿAṭiyyah al-ʿAwfī is weak, but al-Tirmidhī often deemed him acceptable in "Sunan," and this is permissible in supporting evidence as here. In summary, the ḥadīth is authentic through its various routes. And Allāh knows best.

- "Indeed, Allāh says: O son of Adam, devote yourself to My worship, and I will fill your heart with wealth and alleviate your poverty. But if you do not do so, I will fill your hands with busyness and will not alleviate your poverty." It was recorded by al-Tirmidhī (3/308), Ibn Mājah (2/525), Ibn Ḥibbān (2477), and Aḥmad (2/358) through the route of ʿImrān ibn Zāʾidah ibn Nashīṭ from his father from Abū Khālid al-Wālibī from Abū Hurayrah from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) who said: and he mentioned it. Al-Tirmidhī said: "A ḥasan gharīb ḥadīth, and Abū Khālid al-Wālibī's name is Hurmaz." I said: A group of trustworthy narrators have reported from him, and Ibn Ḥibbān included him among them. Abū Ḥātim said: "His ḥadīth is sound." Thus, his ḥadīth is good, but the issue lies with Zāʾidah ibn Nashīṭ, as no one besides his son and Fiṭr ibn Khalīfah narrated from him, and only Ibn Ḥibbān deemed him reliable. Ibn Abī Ḥātim left his entry blank (1/2/612), so he is of unknown status. Al-Ḥāfiẓ alluded to this by saying in "al-Taqrīb": "Acceptable." Al-Suyūṭī attributed the ḥadīth in "al-Jāmiʿ" to al-Ḥākim instead of Ibn Ḥibbān, and I did not find it with him now from Abū Hurayrah, and al-Munāwī mentioned that he said:
