some of the evidence so that the one who reviews it may be certain of the authenticity of the ḥadīth, and success is granted by Allāh, the Exalted. The ḥadīth has been narrated by ʿAbd Allāh ibn Zayd ibn ʿĀṣim, Anas ibn Mālik, Abū Hurayrah, Abū Qatādah, and Ubayy ibn Kaʿb. 1 - As for the ḥadīth of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Zayd, it was recorded by al-Bukhārī (3/152 and 4/412), Muslim (3/108-109), and Aḥmad (4/42) with variations in order, and its wording is: "If it were not for the migration, I would have been a man from the Anṣār, and if people took a valley or a path, I would take the valley and path of the Anṣār. The Anṣār are the inner garment, and people are the outer garment. You will encounter favoritism after me, so be patient until you meet me at the ḥawḍ." 2 - The ḥadīth of Anas was recorded by al-Bukhārī (3/4, 153, and 154), Muslim (3/106 and 107), and Aḥmad (3/169, 172, 188, 246, 249, 275, and 280) through various chains from him.

Al-Bukhārī and Ibn Ḥibbān do not include the first sentence of it, contrary to Aḥmad in one narration, and its isnād is also authentic according to the criteria of Muslim. 4 - The ḥadīth of Abū Qatādah was recorded by Aḥmad (5/307) in its entirety and also by al-Ḥākim (4/79), who said: "Its isnād is authentic." Al-Dhahabī agreed with him, and it is as they said. Al-Haythamī said in "al-Majmaʿ" (10/35): "Aḥmad narrated it, and its men are the men of the authentic collections except for Yaḥyá ibn al-Naḍr al-Anṣārī, who is trustworthy." 5 - The ḥadīth of Ubayy ibn Kaʿb was recorded by al-Tirmidhī (number 3895) and Aḥmad (5/137 and
