and the ḥadīth was mentioned by al-Haythamī (3/78): "It was narrated by Abū Yaʿlá, and its narrators are trustworthy." There is another supporting ḥadīth from Ibn ʿUmar with a chain of narrators who are trustworthy, and it is found in "al-Rawḍ al-Naḍīr" (506). In summary, the ḥadīth is authentic with its mentioned supports. (al-maʿādin) are places from which the earth's minerals are extracted, such as gold, silver, copper, and others, and the singular is: maʿdan. This is stated in "al-Nihāyah." I say: There is no doubt that the worst of people are indeed the disbelievers, and this refers to what Muslims are afflicted with today by bringing Europeans and Americans to their Arab lands to extract their minerals and resources. And Allāh is the one whose help is sought.

"A group from my nation will emerge who drink the Qurʾān as they drink water." It was narrated by al-Firyābī in "Faḍāʾil al-Qurʾān" (187/2): Maymūn ibn al-Aṣbagh narrated to us, Ibn Abī Maryam informed us, Nāfiʿ ibn Yazīd informed me, Bakr ibn ʿAmr informed me that he heard Musharriḥ ibn Hāʿān say: I heard ʿUqbah say: and he mentioned it as marfūʿ. I say: This chain is good, all its narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of the two Shaykhs except for Musharriḥ ibn Hāʿān, about whom Ibn Maʿīn said: "Trustworthy." And Ibn ʿAdī said: "I hope there is no harm." Ibn Ḥibbān contradicted himself regarding him, as he included him in "al-Thiqāt," then included him in "al-Ḍuʿafāʾ"! Thus, his ḥadīth is considered good
