from this perspective, al-Ḥākim narrated it (2/473) and said: "Authentic according to the conditions of the two shaykhs," and al-Dhahabī agreed with him! However, the ḥadīth has a supporting witness that strengthens it. Ibn Jarīr said (27/72): Muḥammad ibn ʿAbbād ibn Mūsá and ʿAmr ibn Mālik al-Baṣrī narrated to us, saying: Yaḥyá ibn Sulaym al-Ṭāʾifī narrated to us from Ismāʿīl ibn Umayyah from Nāfiʿ from Ibn ʿUmar as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. Al-Bazzār also narrated it (pp. 221-222 of his additions): ʿAmr ibn Mālik narrated to us, Yaḥyá ibn Sulaym narrated it to us with this isnād, and at the end of it: "So to You is the praise," and he said: "We do not know it from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) except through this isnād." Al-Ḥāfiẓ said afterward: "All of them are trustworthy except his shaykh, whom the majority have deemed weak." I said: he means ʿAmr ibn Mālik al-Baṣrī, but with Ibn Jarīr, he is paired with Muḥammad ibn ʿAbbād ibn Mūsá, who is nicknamed 'Sandūlā,' and he is truthful but makes mistakes, so one strengthens the other. However, Yaḥyá ibn Sulaym al-Ṭāʾifī, although truthful and among the men of the two shaykhs, has poor memory as noted in "al-Taqrīb," but the ḥadīth with the combination of the two paths does not fall below the rank of ḥasan. And Allāh knows best.

"Prompt your dying ones: There is no deity but Allāh, for the soul of the believer departs with perspiration, and the soul of the disbeliever departs from his mouth as the soul of a donkey departs." Al-Ṭabarānī narrated it in "al-Kabīr" (3/77/1) from ʿĀṣim from Abū Wāʾil from ʿAbd Allāh as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. I said: This isnād is ḥasan, all its men are trustworthy, except for some disagreement regarding ʿĀṣim—who is Ibn Abī al-Najūd—due to his memory, and the opinion settled upon by the investigators is that it is of middle ḥasan quality
