"trustworthy, but he has narrations from his father that are objectionable." However, he mentioned in "al-Mīzān" that the objectionability comes from his father. Al-Ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Taqrīb": "truthful but makes mistakes." Thus, the ḥadīth is ḥasan at the very least.

"When there is discord among the Muslims, take a wooden sword." It was narrated by al-Tirmidhī (no. 2204), Ibn Mājah (3960) with this wording, Aḥmad (5/96 and 6/393), and al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Kabīr" (1/44) through three chains from ʿAdīsah bint Aḥbān, who said: "When ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib came here (to Basra), he entered upon my father and said: O Abū Muslim, will you not assist me against these people?
