"The isnād is authentic." Al-Dhahabī commented on it by saying: "I say: it is not connected." Then al-Ḥākim provided a supporting narration from the route of Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq from Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ḥuṣayn ibn ʿAwf from Umm Salamah who said: I heard the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say to his wives: "the one who will care for you after me is the truthful and righteous one. O Allāh, give ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwf to drink from the springs of Paradise." And he said: "The ḥadīth has been authenticated from ʿĀʾishah and Umm Salamah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhā)." Al-Dhahabī agreed with him.

"A man has more right to the front of his mount, the front of his bed, and to lead prayer in his dwelling." It was recorded by al-Dārimī (2/285), al-Bazzār (55 - his additions), and al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Kabīr" and "al-Awsaṭ" (no. 900) in a shortened form from the route of Isḥāq ibn Yaḥyá ibn Ṭalḥah from al-Musayyib ibn Rāfiʿ and Maʿbad ibn Khālid from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yazīd al-Khaṭmī - who was a governor in Kūfah - who said: "We came to Qays ibn Saʿd ibn ʿUbādah in his house, and the caller to prayer announced the prayer, and we said to Qays: Stand and lead us in prayer. He said: I would not lead a people in prayer over whom I am not an authority. Then a man not lesser than him, named ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ḥanẓalah al-Ghasīl, said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: (he mentioned it), so Qays ibn Saʿd then said: O so-and-so - to a servant of his -: Stand and lead them in prayer." I say: This isnād is weak. Isḥāq is weak as mentioned in "al-Taqrīb." Al-Haythamī said in "al-Majmaʿ" (2/65) after attributing it to those mentioned except al-Dārimī: "In it is Isḥāq ibn Yaḥyá ibn Ṭalḥah, who was weakened by Aḥmad, Ibn Maʿīn, and al-Bukhārī, but was deemed reliable by Yaʿqūb ibn Shaybah and Ibn Ḥibbān."
