"Yaḥyá ibn Ḥassān, a Palestinian, is a well-known trustworthy narrator." Imām Aḥmad said in his narration from Ibn al-Mubārak: "Yaḥyá ibn Ḥassān was from the people of Bayt al-Maqdis and was an elderly man with good understanding." Al-Nasāʾī and Ibn Ḥibbān also declared him trustworthy. As for the ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah, it is narrated by Rushdīn ibn Saʿd, who said: "Mūsá ibn Ḥabīb narrated to us from Suhayl ibn Abī Ṣāliḥ from his father, from him, in a marfūʿ form." It was recorded by al-Ḥākim, and Rushdīn is weak. As for the ḥadīth of Anas, it is narrated by Muʾammal ibn Ismāʿīl from Ḥammād ibn Salamah from Ḥumayd from him. It was recorded by al-Tirmidhī (4/267) who said: "This is a strange ḥadīth and is not preserved. It is only narrated from Ḥammād ibn Salamah from Ḥumayd from al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), and this is more authentic. Al-Muʾammal made a mistake in it, saying: from Ḥumayd from Anas, and he is not followed in this." I said: Ibn Abī Ḥātim mentioned something similar in "al-ʿIlal" (2/170 and 192), but his statement: "and he is not followed in it" is questionable, as Ibn Abī Ḥātim also mentioned that Rūḥ ibn ʿUbādah narrated it from Ḥammād from Thābit and Ḥumayd from Anas with it. It was also recorded by Abū Saʿd al-Muẓaffar ibn Ḥasan in "Fawāʾid Muntaqā" (136/2). Then Ibn Abī Ḥātim said: "My father said: This is an error; Ḥammād narrates it from Abān ibn Abī ʿAyyāsh from Anas." I said: Rūḥ ibn ʿUbādah is a trustworthy and virtuous narrator, relied upon by the six [canonical ḥadīth collections], so I do not know the reason for deeming him mistaken without clear evidence, while it is possible to assert the authenticity of what he narrated, as well as what others of the trustworthy narrators transmitted, in the sense that Ḥammād..
