I said: It is possible, in my view, that the objectionability comes from Ibn Ḥibbān's teacher: al-Faḍl ibn al-Ḥabbāb, as there is some discussion about him. Al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar mentioned another ḥadīth in "al-Lisān" with the wording: "Whoever makes things easy for himself and his family on the day of ʿĀshūrāʾ, Allāh will make things easy for him for the rest of the year." All its narrators are trustworthy, so al-Ḥāfiẓ inferred that the mistake was from al-Faḍl, and he said: "Perhaps he narrated it after his books were burned." I refrained from attributing the objectionability to Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr because it was narrated from him by Muḥammad ibn Bishr with the first preserved wording, and Ibn Bishr is a trustworthy ḥāfiẓ, as are those who followed him according to al-Tirmidhī and others. And from attributing it to Khālid ibn ʿAbd Allāh, who is al-Ṭaḥḥān al-Wāsiṭī, because he is a reliable and established narrator. This wording has also been narrated through another weak chain. Ibn Jarīr reported it (12/132) saying: Ibn Wakiʿ narrated to us: ʿAmr ibn Muḥammad narrated to us from Ibrāhīm ibn Yazīd from ʿAmr ibn Dīnār from ʿIkrimah from Ibn ʿAbbās, raised [to the Prophet] with the wording: "If he had not said—meaning Yūsuf—the word he said, he would not have remained in prison for as long as he did, seeking relief from someone other than Allāh." Al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Kathīr said in his "Tafsīr" (2/479): "This ḥadīth is very weak, because Sufyān ibn Wakiʿ is weak, and Ibrāhīm ibn Yazīd—who is al-Khuzāʾī—is weaker than him." Ibn Jarīr also narrated it with a sound chain from al-Ḥasan, who is al-Baṣrī, in a mursal form similar to it. Aḥmad also narrated it in "al-Zuhd" (p. 80), and in one of its wordings: "May Allāh have mercy on Yūsuf. If the messenger had come to me after a long imprisonment, I would have hastened to respond."
