(11/214) by the narration of two others from him, and he did not mention any criticism or approval. Ibn Qāniʿ said: He died in the year 284. and he was followed up, so Abū Nuʿaym included it in "al-Ḥilyah" (8/174): ʿAbd Allāh ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us, Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, Naʿīm ibn Ḥammād narrated to us with it, except that he said: "that the eldest." and he said: "ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Mubārak and ʿAbd Allāh ibn Wahb both narrated it from Usāmah." I said: This implies that the ḥadīth was not solely narrated by Naʿīm nor Ibn al-Mubārak, but rather it was solely narrated by Usāmah ibn Zayd. and he is a reliable narrator if he is al-Laythī, their client from Medina, but if he is al-ʿAdawī, the client of ʿUmar from Medina, then he is weak, and both narrate from Nāfiʿ. and from them, Ibn al-Mubārak and Ibn Wahb, so I do not know which one is intended here. then I found more than one follower for Naʿīm, so Aḥmad (2/138) and al-Bayhaqī (1/40) included it through two other chains from ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Mubārak with it. and it includes an explanation of the reason for its occurrence, and its wording: "I saw the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) using a toothstick, and he gave it to the eldest of the people, then he said," and he mentioned it with the wording of "al-Ḥilyah." and al-Bukhārī mentioned it in "Ṣaḥīḥ" (1/284 - Fatḥ) from the path of Naʿīm ibn Ḥammād. and al-Ḥāfiẓ mentioned that Usāmah is Ibn Zayd al-Laythī from Medina. and I do not know what his basis is for this? And the scholar Aḥmad Shākir followed him in his commentary on the Musnad. yes, perhaps this is due to the consideration of the eminence of Imām ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Mubārak and his knowledge, for if he meant the weak al-ʿAdawī, he would have clarified it. or perhaps he has a habit that when he narrates from the trustworthy al-Laythī, he does not specify, but when he narrates from the other weak one, he specifies and attributes him. And Allāh knows best. and he was generally followed up on it. So al-Bukhārī included it as a suspended narration and al-Bayhaqī and others included it connectedly from the path of ʿAffān, narrated to us by Ṣakhr ibn Juwairiyah from Nāfiʿ from Ibn ʿUmar that the Prophet ﷺ said:
