that the father of Rabiḥ—whose name is ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Saʿīd—was a Companion, as indicated by his statement, "We said on the day of the trench," but no one claims this. So be aware. And in the correct version, Ibn Abī Ḥātim also narrated the ḥadīth as found in "al-Bidāyah" by al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Kathīr (4/111).

"The Quran is an intercessor whose intercession is accepted and a truthful adversary. Whoever places it before him, it will lead him to Paradise, and whoever places it behind his back, it will drive him to Hell." It was narrated by Ibn Ḥibbān (1793) from ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ajlaḥ from al-Aʿmash from Abū Sufyān from Jābir from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam).

And he said: Abū Kurayb narrated to us: ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ajlaḥ narrated to us from al-Aʿmash from Abū Sufyān from Jābir from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) in a similar manner, and he said: "We do not know anyone who narrates it from Jābir except through this chain." Al-Haythamī said after it:
