but the ḥadīth is narrated through multiple chains that strengthen each other from a group of Companions and others. The first: Sahl ibn Saʿd al-Sāʿidī in a marfūʿ form. It is narrated by ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Zayd ibn Aslam from Abū Ḥāzim from him. It was recorded by Ibn Abī al-Dunyā (152/2). The second: from ʿImrān ibn Ḥuṣayn in a marfūʿ form. It is narrated by ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Quddūs who said: al-Aʿmash told me from Hilāl ibn Yasāf from him. It was also recorded by Ibn Abī al-Dunyā and al-Tirmidhī (2213) who said: "Gharīb." I said: meaning weak, and its narrators are trustworthy except that this ʿAbd Allāh used to make mistakes as mentioned in "al-Taqrīb," so someone like him is used for supporting evidence. The third: Abū Umāmah al-Bāhilī in a marfūʿ form similar to it. It is narrated by Farqad al-Sabkhī who said ʿĀṣim ibn ʿAmr al-Bajalī told me from him. It was also recorded by Ibn Abī al-Dunyā. Then it was recorded (154/1) from ʿAlī ibn Thābit from Farqad al-Sabkhī from Abū Umāmah in it. And Aḥmad (5/259) from the first chain. And Farqad is lenient in ḥadīth, making many mistakes. The fourth: ʿĀʾishah in a marfūʿ form. It is narrated by Abū Maʿshar from Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir from her. It was recorded by Ibn Abī al-Dunyā (152-153)
