"weak." I said: However, the ḥadīth is authentic, as it has a corroborating narration from Zayd ibn Arqam who said: "The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) stood among us one day at a place called Khumm between Mecca and Medina. He praised Allāh, extolled Him, admonished and reminded, then said: 'Now then, O people, I am but a human, and the messenger of my Lord is about to come to me, and I will respond. I am leaving among you two weighty things: the first of them is the Book of Allāh, in it is guidance and light (whoever holds fast to it and takes it will be upon guidance, and whoever errs from it will be astray), so take the Book of Allāh and hold fast to it.' He urged adherence to the Book of Allāh and encouraged it, then said: 'And my family, I remind you of Allāh regarding my family, I remind you of Allāh regarding my family, I remind you of Allāh regarding my family.'"

He said: Yes." Its isnād is authentic, its narrators are the narrators of the authentic collections. It has other routes with al-Ṭabarānī (4969-4971 and 4980-4982 and 5040) and some with al-Ḥākim (3/109 and 148 and 533). He and al-Dhahabī authenticated some of them. And another corroborating narration from ʿAṭiyyah al-ʿAwfī from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, raised [to the Prophet]:
