in the second wording, which is narrated by Aḥmad (4/120), Abū Dāwūd (5129), and al-Tirmidhī (2/112), who said: "It is ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ." Abān ibn Taghlib disagreed with them, saying: from al-Aʿmash, from Abū ʿAmr al-Shaybānī, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd, he mentioned it. It was recorded by al-Kharāʾiṭī (p. 16) and Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ḥilyah" (6/266). I say: Abān ibn Taghlib is trustworthy, and Muslim used his narrations, but the narration of the group is more authentic. Moreover, it has been narrated through another route from Ibn Masʿūd, which is as follows: 2 - As for the ḥadīth of Ibn Masʿūd, it is narrated by ʿĪsá ibn al-Mukhtār from Ibn Abī Laylá from Faḍīl ibn ʿAmr from Abū Wāʾil from him, elevated with the wording of the chapter. It was recorded by al-Bazzār (no. 154) who said: "We do not know it to be elevated from ʿAbd Allāh except through this isnād." I say: It is weak due to the poor memory of Ibn Abī Laylá. 3 - As for the ḥadīth of Sahl, it is narrated by al-ʿĀʾishī, who told us ʿImrān ibn Yazīd al-Qurashī from Abū Ḥāzim from him. It was recorded by al-Ṭaḥāwī, who told us Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn Dāwūd, who narrated it from al-ʿĀʾishī. I say: All its narrators are trustworthy, but it is disconnected between al-Qurashī and Abū Ḥāzim, as his narration is only from the followers of the followers, so perhaps the intermediary between them was omitted by the printer or the copyist
