I said: This isnād is authentic, all its men are trustworthy. Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥīm's name is Khālid ibn Abī Yazīd al-Ḥarrānī, and he is the maternal uncle of Muḥammad ibn Salamah al-Ḥarrānī.

- "If you insist on sitting, then guide the way, return the greeting, and help the oppressed." It was recorded by Aḥmad (4/282, 291, 293), al-Ṭaḥāwī in "Mushkil al-Āthār" (1/60), and Ibn Ḥibbān (1953) through the route of Isrāʾīl from Abū Isḥāq from al-Barāʾ who said: "The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) passed by a gathering of the Anṣār and said: " and he mentioned it.

However, Shuʿbah narrated from him before the confusion, and despite the mentioned disconnection, al-Tirmidhī said afterwards: "A ḥasan gharīb ḥadīth"! But the ḥadīth is authentic, as it was recorded by the two Shaykhs, and al-Bukhārī in "al-Adab al-Mufrad" (1150) and Aḥmad (3/36) from the ḥadīth of Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī similarly, and among the three characteristics is his saying: "and return the greeting." It was also recorded in "al-Adab" (1149) from the ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah
