"when you meet him, greet him with peace, and if he seeks your advice, advise him." It is referenced earlier under number (1832). (Note): Ḥakīm ibn Aflaḥ is mentioned in his biography in "Tahdhīb al-Tahdhīb" as being listed by Ibn Ḥibbān in "al-Thiqāt." I did not find it in the printed version nor in its original: "Tahdhīb al-Mizzī," but the esteemed commentator attributed it to him, and al-Haythamī mentioned it in "Tartīb al-Thiqāt." And Allāh knows best.

"The spoils of war were not permissible for anyone with black hair before you; a fire from the sky would descend and consume them." It was narrated by al-Tirmidhī (3084), Ibn Ḥibbān (1668), and al-Ṭaḥāwī in "al-Mushkil" (4/292) through various chains from al-Aʿmash from Abū Ṣāliḥ from Abū Hurayrah as a marfūʿ ḥadīth.

I say: It is according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs [al-Bukhārī and Muslim]. There is another chain for the ḥadīth from Abū Hurayrah, which will appear under number (2741) with a similar wording.

"After you left, I said four words, three times, which if weighed against all you have said since today, they would outweigh them: 'Glory be to Allāh and praise be to Him, as numerous as His creations, as much as pleases Him, as heavy as His Throne, and as much as the ink of His words.'" It was narrated by Muslim (8/83), Abū Dāwūd (1503), Ibn Khuzaymah in "al-Tawḥīd" (p. 107), Ibn Mandah in his "al-Tawḥīd" (77/1 and 103/2), and likewise by al-Nasāʾī (1/...)
