then it was narrated by al-Haytham and likewise al-Ḍiyāʾ (69 - 71) from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Ḥārith (who is Ibn ʿAyyāsh) from Sulaymān ibn Mūsá from Makhūl from Abū Salām al-Bāhilī from Abū Umāmah al-Bāhilī from ʿUbādah ibn al-Ṣāmit with it. I said: Its narrators are trustworthy except for the aforementioned disagreement in its isnād, but I did not recognize Abū Salām al-Bāhilī, and it has been said about him that he is Abū Salām al-Aʿraj. It was narrated by Abū Bakr ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Maryam from Abū Salām al-Aʿraj from al-Miqdām ibn Maʿdī Karib from ʿUbādah al-Ṣāmit with it similarly. It was recorded by Aḥmad (5 / 314, 316, 326). And this Abū Bakr is weak due to his confusion. He was followed by Saʿīd ibn Yūsuf from Yaḥyá ibn Abī Kathīr from Abū Salām similarly. It was recorded by Aḥmad (5 / 326). And Yaḥyá ibn Abī Kathīr is trustworthy, but the narrator from him, Saʿīd ibn Yūsuf, who is al-Raḥbī al-Ṣanʿānī, is weak. If it were not for his weakness, it could be said that this Abū Islām is al-Ḥabashī: Mamṭūr, because Ibn Abī Kathīr narrates from him frequently. This is supported by the fact that Abū Bakr ibn Abī Maryam described him in his narration as al-Aʿraj, and he is Mamṭūr himself. And Allāh knows best. There is another difference regarding Makhūl, as ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Thawbān said: from his father from Makhūl from ʿUbādah ibn al-Ṣāmit. It was recorded by Ibn Bishrān in "al-Amālī" (87 / 2). I said: He omitted two intermediaries between Makhūl and ʿUbādah, and perhaps this is from Makhūl himself, as he is described as practicing tadlīs. And Allāh knows best. In summary, the ḥadīth through the two combined chains from ʿUbādah is authentic, especially since there is a third chain from him with a good isnād similar to it, which follows: "He would take the wool from the side of the camel from the spoils and then say: I have no share in it except like one of you. Then he would say: Beware of misappropriation, for misappropriation is a disgrace to its owner on the Day of Resurrection. So return the thread and the needle and what is above that, and strive in the cause of Allāh near and far, in residence and travel, for jihād is a gate from the gates of Paradise, it saves its owner from worry and distress. And establish the limits of Allāh near and far, and do not let the blame of a critic prevent you from [acting for] Allāh."
