that Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Ḥājj said: Abū Bakr ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Qurqasānī the perfumer narrated to us, saying: Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, saying: ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrated to us, saying: Ghundar narrated to us, saying: Shuʿbah narrated from Marwān al-Aṣghar from al-Nazzāl ibn Sabrah from him with it, except for his statement: "Indeed..." I said: This isnād is obscure from Ghundar onward, whose name is Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar. I did not recognize them, and it is possible that ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān is the Imām al-Dārimī, the author of "al-Sunan" known as "al-Musnad," as he is from this generation. And I suspect Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd Allāh is al-Juwaybarī, the well-known liar. 3 - As for the ḥadīth of ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbbās, it is narrated by al-Ḥusayn ʿAbd Allāh - the owner of the merchandise - who said: Ibrāhīm ibn Saʿīd al-Jawharī narrated to us, saying: al-Maʾmūn narrated to me, saying: al-Rashīd, the Commander of the Faithful, narrated to me about al-Mahdī that he confided something to him, saying: Do not inform anyone about it, for the Commander of the Faithful - meaning al-Manṣūr - narrated to me from his father from Ibn ʿAbbās as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. It was recorded by al-Khaṭīb in "al-Tārīkh" (8/56-57) and narrated from Aḥmad ibn Kāmil al-Qāḍī that he said about this al-Ḥusayn: "He was a frivolous, rare liar in those ḥadīths which he narrated from the musnad ḥadīths of the caliphs." 4 - As for the ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah, it is narrated by Sahl ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Jurjānī from Muḥammad ibn Muṭarrif from Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir from ʿUrwah ibn al-Zubayr from him as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. It was recorded by Ibn Ḥibbān in "Rawḍat al-ʿUqalāʾ" (p. 187) and by al-Sahmī in "Tārīkh Jurjān" (p. 182 in the biography of this al-Jurjānī, and he did not mention any criticism or praise, and in my view, he is Sahl ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān known as "al-Sindī ibn ʿAbduwayh al-Rāzī." Ibn Abī Ḥātim said (2/1/201): "He was known by the kunya Abū al-Haytham, and he narrated from Zuhayr ibn Muʿāwiyah, Sharīk, Mundal, and Jarīr ibn Ḥāzim, among others. ʿAmr ibn Rāfiʿ, Ḥajjāj ibn Ḥamzah, Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Ṭuhrānī, and Muḥammad ibn ʿAmmār, among others, narrated from him
