ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Saʿd al-Madanī, narrated from Sahl ibn Abī Umāmah ibn Sahl, and ʿAbd Allāh ibn Wahb heard from him. Ibn Maʿīn said: I do not know him. Therefore, his mention in "al-Mustadrak" as (al-Māzinī) is a distortion of (al-Madanī). And Allāh knows best. (Note): Our colleague al-Salafī attributed this ḥadīth in his commentary on "Kabīr al-Ṭabarānī" (6/88) to page (77) of the second volume of "al-Mustadrak," but there is another ḥadīth with the wording: "Whoever sincerely asks Allāh for martyrdom, Allāh will grant him the status of martyrs even if he dies on his bed." And he said: "Authentic according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs." Al-Dhahabī agreed with him. I said: And its isnād is exactly the same as this one, except that it correctly includes "ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Sharīḥ." And Allāh knows best.

- "O Abū Turāb! Shall I not tell you about the two most wretched men? We said: Yes, O Messenger of Allāh! He said: The red-faced one of Thamūd who hamstrung the she-camel, and the one who will strike you on this (meaning ʿAlī's head) until this is soaked with blood - meaning his beard." It was recorded by al-Ṭaḥāwī in "Mushkil al-Āthār" (1/351-352), al-Nasāʾī in "al-Khaṣāʾiṣ" (p. 28), al-Ḥākim (3/140-141), and Aḥmad (4/263) through the route of Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq who said: Yazīd ibn Muḥammad ibn Khaytham al-Muḥāribī narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Kaʿb al-Qurāẓī from Muḥammad ibn Khaytham from ʿAmmār ibn Yāsir (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) who said: "ʿAlī and I were companions in the expedition of Dhū al-ʿAshīrah. When the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) arrived there and stayed, we saw some people from Banī Mudlij working on a spring in a palm grove. ʿAlī said to me: O Abū al-Yaqẓān, would you like to go to them and see how they work? So we went to them and watched their work for a while, then sleep overcame us, so ʿAlī and I went and lay down in a grove of palm trees on a dusty patch and slept. By Allāh, nothing woke us except the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) nudging us with his foot, and we were covered in that dust. The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: O Abū Turāb! because of the dust on him, then the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: Shall I not..." and he mentioned it, and the narration is from al-Ḥākim who said:
