"this is a significant ḥadīth of great importance, narrated by the imams of the sunnah and accepted by them, and al-Shāfiʿī included it in his Musnad." I said: And it is with al-Bazzār (320 - Zawāʾid Ibn Ḥajar) through the route of ʿUthmān ibn ʿUmayr from Anas. And this ʿUthmān is Abū al-Yaqẓān, the blind Kufan, and he is weak. In summary, the ḥadīth is authentic through its collective routes. And Allāh knows best.

"Two groups from my nation will be protected by Allāh from the Fire: a group that will invade India and a group that will be with ʿĪsá ibn Maryam." It was narrated by al-Nasāʾī (2/64), Aḥmad (5/278), and Abū ʿArūbah al-Ḥarrānī in "Ḥadīth" (102/2) from Baqiyyah ibn al-Walīd, who reported from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sālim and Abū Bakr ibn al-Walīd al-Zubaydī from Muḥammad ibn al-Walīd al-Zubaydī from Luqmān ibn ʿĀmir al-Wuṣābī from ʿAbd al-Aʿlá ibn ʿAdī al-Bahrānī from Thawbān, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam). I said: And this isnād is good; its men are trustworthy except for Abū Bakr al-Zubaydī, whose status is unknown, but he is paired here with ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sālim, who is the trustworthy Ashʿarī from Ḥimṣ, one of al-Bukhārī's men. Baqiyyah ibn al-Walīd is a known mudallis, but he has explicitly stated his narration, so we are safe from his problematic tadlīs. Moreover, he has been followed up, as Hishām ibn ʿAmmār said: "Al-Jarrāḥ ibn Malīḥ al-Bahrānī narrated to us, Muḥammad ibn al-Walīd al-Zubaydī narrated to us." It was extracted by Ibn ʿAdī (58/2) and Ibn ʿAsākir (15/100/1). And this isnād is acceptable in follow-ups; al-Jarrāḥ ibn Malīḥ, who is from Ḥimṣ, is truthful. Hishām ibn ʿAmmār is one of al-Bukhārī's teachers and was known to be receptive, but he was followed by Sulaymān, who is the son of ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Bint Sharḥabīl. Al-Bukhārī extracted it in "al-Tārīkh al-Kabīr" (3/2/72) from him, who narrated from al-Jarrāḥ ibn Malīḥ
