2 - then he mentioned the ḥadīth of Abū Umāmah and its weakness, which is reported by al-Bayhaqī through the chain of Ibn Zuḥr from ʿAlī ibn Yazīd from al-Qāsim from him. It was also narrated by al-Sulamī in "al-Arbaʿīn al-Ṣūfiyyah" (9/1). This isnād is considered very weak by Ibn Ḥibbān, who says about it that it is fabricated by one of these three individuals below Abū Umāmah. However, it was also reported by Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ṭibb" (p. 11/1 - Shaykh al-Safarjalānī's copy) through the chain of ʿUthmān ibn Abī al-ʿĀtikah from ʿAlī ibn Yazīd in a similar manner. Regarding ʿUthmān, al-Ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Taqrīb": "He was deemed weak in his narrations from ʿAlī ibn Yazīd al-Alahānī." 3 - As for the ḥadīth of ʿAlī, I have not yet found its isnād. 4 - Regarding the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAbbās, it was weakened by al-Ḥāfiẓ as mentioned earlier, and al-Haythamī explained its defect, saying: (10/270): "It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī: and it includes a group of narrators whom I do not know." I say: Its isnād is worse than that, and its text contains an objectionable addition, which is why I included it in "al-Ḍaʿīfah" (5396). 5 - As for the ḥadīth of Anas, al-Haythamī attributed it only to al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Awsaṭ" in a very abbreviated form with the wording: "... whoever shows enmity to a friend of Mine has declared war against Me." He said: "It includes ʿUmar ibn Saʿīd Abū Ḥafṣ al-Dimashqī, who is weak." I have found it through another chain more complete than this, narrated by al-Ḥasan ibn Yaḥyá, who said: Ṣadaqah ibn ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us from Hishām al-Kinānī from Anas in a manner similar to the ḥadīth of the chapter, and he added: "Among My believing servants are those who wish for the door of worship, but I withhold it from them so that it does not enter them..
