"Indeed, trials reach those who love me faster than a flood reaches its destination." Narrated by Ibn Ḥibbān in his "Ṣaḥīḥ" in type (71) (folio 103/1) from the manuscript fragment through the route of Abū Yaʿlá, who said: al-Qawārīrī narrated to us, Abū Maʿshar al-Barāʾ narrated to us, Shaddād ibn Saʿīd informed us from Abū al-Wāziʿ Jābir ibn ʿAmr, who said: I heard ʿAbdullāh ibn al-Mughafal say: A man came to the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) and said: By Allāh, O Messenger of Allāh, I love you. The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said to him: and then mentioned it. It is also in "Mawārid al-Ẓamʾān" under number (2505). I say: This isnād is ḥasan, its men are the men of Muslim, and regarding Jābir ibn ʿAmr and Shaddād ibn Saʿīd, there is discussion, but their ḥadīth does not fall below the level of ḥasan, if Allāh wills.

"Indeed, the blessing is in the middle of the dish, so eat from its edges and do not eat from its top." Narrated by al-Sarī ibn Yaḥyá in "Ḥadīth al-Thawrī" (211/2) from him, from ʿAṭāʾ ibn al-Sāʾib, from Saʿīd ibn Jubayr, from Ibn ʿAbbās, as marfūʿ. I say: Its isnād is ṣaḥīḥ, and all its men are trustworthy, and Ibn al-Sāʾib was heard by al-Thawrī before his confusion. Narrated by al-Ḥumaydī in his "Musnad" (89/1): Sufyān narrated to us, he said: ʿAṭāʾ narrated to us. I say: This Sufyān is Ibn ʿUyaynah, and it was also extracted by al-Ḥākim (4/116) through al-Ḥumaydī's route from him. It was also extracted by al-Ṭaḥāwī in "al-Mushkil" (1/55) through another route from Sufyān al-Thawrī with it, and al-Ḥākim said: "Ṣaḥīḥ al-Isnād." Al-Dhahabī agreed with him, and Ibn ʿUyaynah only heard from ʿAṭāʾ after his confusion, so reliance is on al-Thawrī's narration from him.
