two individuals made a mistake regarding this ḥadīth: al-Suyūṭī and then al-Munāwī, as they weakened it. In "Fayḍ al-Qadīr," it is stated: "The author indicated its weakness because it includes al-Walīd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, whom al-Dhahabī mentioned in 'al-Ḍuʿafāʾ,' and Ibn Maʿīn said: 'He is nothing.'" I say: This al-Walīd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, whom Ibn Maʿīn and then al-Dhahabī weakened, is not the one related to this ḥadīth. He is a shaykh of Muʿtamir ibn Sulaymān, as al-Dhahabī clarified in "al-Ḍuʿafāʾ" (p. 218/1) following Ibn Abī Ḥātim (4/2/9-10), who said about his father: "Unknown." I say: Muʿtamir ibn Sulaymān belongs to the ninth generation according to the ḥāfiẓ, and most of his narrations are from the followers of the followers. He died in the year 187, so it is unlikely that al-Walīd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān related to this ḥadīth is the one who was weakened. The correct view is that he is al-Walīd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Jurashī al-Ḥimṣī. In his biography, it is mentioned that he narrated from Ibn ʿUmar and Abū Hurayrah and others, and from him narrated Yaʿlá ibn ʿAṭāʾ and others. He is certainly this one, and he is a trustworthy narrator from the men of Muslim, as previously indicated. Thus, the ḥadīth is authentic, and all praise is due to Allāh, after we almost fell into the error of weakening it as mentioned before we reviewed its isnād in "al-Ḥilyah." All praise is due to Allāh, by whose grace good deeds are completed. I have found a supporting narration for it, but it is very weak. I mention it for knowledge, not for evidence. It is narrated by ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Zahr from ʿAlī ibn Yazīd from al-Qāsim from Abū Umāmah from Abū ʿUbaydah ibn al-Jarrāḥ from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) who said: "The best prayer is the morning prayer on Friday in congregation. I do not think anyone who attends it among you will be except forgiven." It was recorded by al-Bazzār (no. 621 - Kashf al-Astār) and he said: "Abū ʿUbaydah is the only one to narrate it as far as I know."
