and al-Munāwī left it blank in "al-Fayḍ", not commenting on its isnād except to say: "The author indicated it is ḥasan"! As for "al-Taysīr", it states: "Its isnād is ṣaḥīḥ"! I did not find it in al-Ṭabarānī's "Musnad Ibn ʿAbbās" nor in "Majmaʿ al-Zawāʾid", and its indexer did not mention it, and Allāh knows best.

"He used to begin his ifṭār with dates." It was narrated by al-Nasāʾī in "al-Sunan al-Kubrā" (65/2) and al-Firyābī in "al-Ṣiyām" (4/62/2), and from him by Ibn ʿAsākir (4/286/1) and al-Ḍiyāʾ in "al-Mukhtārah" (1/292) from Yazīd ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz from Raqabah from Burayd ibn Abī Maryam from Anas as marfūʿ. Al-Nasāʾī said: "Shuʿbah narrated it and sent it from Burayd from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) and Shuʿbah is more reliable than those who narrated this ḥadīth." I said: Al-Dāraquṭnī disagreed with him and preferred the connected version, as al-Ḍiyāʾ reported: "It seems that Raqabah preserved it." I said: This is correct because Raqabah, who is Ibn Miṣqalah, is trustworthy and reliable as in "al-Taqrīb" and was relied upon by the two Shaykhs, so Shuʿbah's sending it does not harm it because the one who preserves is a proof against the one who does not. And Yazīd ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz is Ibn Sīyāh al-Asadī al-Ḥamānī, and he is also trustworthy among the men of the two Shaykhs. And Burayd ibn Abī Maryam is a trustworthy tābiʿī, so the isnād is ṣaḥīḥ.
