"Indeed, the hornless will take retribution from the horned on the Day of Resurrection." It was recorded by ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad in "Zawāʾid al-Musnad" (1/72): ʿAbbās ibn Muḥammad and Abū Yaḥyá al-Bazzār narrated to me from Ḥajjāj ibn Naṣīr, who narrated from Shuʿbah, from al-ʿAwām ibn Murājim from Banī Qays ibn Thaʿlabah, from Abū ʿUthmān al-Nahdī, from ʿUthmān that the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said it, and he mentioned it. I said: This isnād is weak due to this Ḥajjāj, as the ḥāfiẓ said: "He is weak and used to accept prompting." I said: This is an error in the isnād and the raising of this ḥadīth, as Ibn Abī Ḥātim said in "al-ʿIlal" (2/226-227): "Abū Zurʿah said: This is a mistake, it is only Shuʿbah from al-ʿAwām ibn Murājim from Abū al-Silīl who said: Salmān said..., and it is mawqūf." And it was said in "al-Majmaʿ" (10/352): "It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Kabīr," al-Bazzār, and ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad, and in it is al-Ḥajjāj ibn Naṣīr who has been considered reliable despite his weakness, and the rest of al-Bazzār's men are the men of ṣaḥīḥ except for al-ʿAwām ibn Murājim, who is trustworthy." I said: I did not see it in "Musnad ʿUthmān" in "al-Kabīr" of al-Ṭabarānī, and Allāh knows best. Then, I did not understand the reason for specifying al-Bazzār by saying: "And the rest of his men are the men of ṣaḥīḥ," while ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad is one of his isnāds as well, for Abū Yaḥyá al-Bazzār - whose name is Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥīm, known as Ṣāʿiqah, is among the men of al-Bukhārī! And the ḥadīth is authentic: for it has been authenticated from Abū Hurayrah in a marfūʿ form through two paths from him: the first is from al-ʿAlāʾ ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, from his father, from him with the wording:
