It was recorded by Aḥmad (no. 6642), and al-Mundhirī said (3/283): "Its isnād is weak." A similar statement was made by al-Haythamī regarding Ibn Lahīʿah (8/65): "Weak in ḥadīth." The fourth: he said, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ziyād ibn Anʿam from ʿUbādah ibn al-Nasī from Kathīr ibn Murrah from ʿAwf ibn Mālik who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said, and he mentioned it with the first wording. It was recorded by al-Bazzār in "his Musnad" (p. 245 - its additions) and al-Haythamī said: "A weak isnād." Supporting the ḥadīth is what was recorded by Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim in "al-Sunnah" (no. 512 - my verification): Hishām ibn Khālid narrated to us, Abū Khalīd ʿUtbah ibn Ḥammād narrated to us from al-Awzāʿī and Ibn Thawbān (from his father) from Makhūl from Mālik ibn Yukhamir from Muʿādh ibn Jabal in a marfūʿ form. It was also recorded by Ibn Ḥibbān in "his Ṣaḥīḥ" (1980) and Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān al-Rabʿī in "A Portion of His Ḥadīth" (217/1 and 218/1) and others. It is the best of its isnāds and paths, and it has been previously mentioned and discussed in detail under no. (1144). I have repeated the discussion on the ḥadīth here for additional verification and investigation beyond what was previously mentioned. And Allāh is the Grantor of success. (The polytheist): anyone who associates anything with Allāh in His essence, or in His attributes, or in His worship. (The one harboring enmity) Ibn al-Athīr said: "He is the adversary, and enmity is hostility, and mutual enmity is a form of interaction from it. Al-Awzāʿī said: He meant by the one harboring enmity here the innovator who separates from the community of the ummah."
