(4/112 and 385) in a similar manner. There is a third path from him in al-Tirmidhī and others, and it was authenticated by Ibn Khuzaymah (1/125/1) and others, and it is referenced in "Takhrīj al-Targhīb" (1/291). Thus, the entire ḥadīth is authentic, and all praise is due to Allāh, the Exalted.

- "The five daily prayers are an expiation for what is between them as long as major sins are avoided, and from Friday to Friday, with an addition of three days." It was narrated by Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ḥilyah" (9/249-250) from ʿAbd al-Ḥakīm from Anas ibn Mālik that the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: and he mentioned it. I say: This isnād is weak. This ʿAbd al-Ḥakīm is Ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Qasmilī, and he is weak as mentioned in "al-Taqrīb." Ziyād al-Namīrī followed him from Anas with it, except for his statement "with an addition of three days." It was narrated by al-Bazzār (no. 347) from Zāʾidah ibn Abī al-Raqād from him, and he said: "Zāʾidah is weak, and Ziyād al-Namīrī is not objectionable." Thus he said, but Ziyād - who is Ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Namīrī - was deemed weak by most, and in "al-Taqrīb" it is said: "weak." However, the ḥadīth has been authenticated from Abū Hurayrah in a marfūʿ form without the addition. It was narrated by Muslim, and in one of his narrations with the wording: "Whoever performs ablution well, then comes to Friday, listens and remains silent, will be forgiven for what is between it and the next Friday, with an addition of three days, and whoever touches the pebbles has engaged in idle talk." It was also narrated by Abū Dāwūd and others, and it is referenced in "Ṣaḥīḥ Abū Dāwūd" (964). In summary, with this supporting evidence, the ḥadīth is authentic. And Allāh knows best.
