in summary, the ḥadīth is considered ḥasan due to the combination of its two mawqūf chains, unless the elevation of the second chain is authenticated. Especially since the ḥāfiẓ mentioned a marfūʿ witness for it from the ḥadīth of Abū Bakrah and remained silent about it, which he usually does only for what he considers at least ḥasan. However, the heart is not at ease with it, as I have seen that al-Haythamī said about it (11/183): "It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī, and in it is al-Ḥakam ibn Ẓuḥayr, who is abandoned." And Allāh knows best.

"The one who does not sleep until he performs witr is determined." It was narrated by Aḥmad (1/170) from Ibn Isḥāq who said: Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ḥuṣayn narrated to me that he narrated from Saʿd ibn Abī Waqqāṣ: "He used to pray the last ʿIshāʾ prayer in the mosque of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), then perform witr with one rakʿah and not add to it. He would be asked: Do you perform witr with one rakʿah and not add to it, O Abū Isḥāq? He would say yes, I heard the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say: " and he mentioned it. I said: Its narrators are trustworthy, except for this Ibn al-Ḥuṣayn. Ibn Abī Ḥātim mentioned him (3/2/317) from the narration of Ibn Isḥāq alone and did not mention any criticism or commendation about him. Ibn Ḥibbān included him in "al-Thiqāt" as the ḥāfiẓ mentioned in "al-Taʿjīl," but I did not see him among the followers in the printed Indian edition. And Allāh knows best. Then I saw that he included him in "The Followers of the Followers" (7/413) and said: "Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq narrated from him, and he was a fasting and praying person." However, the ḥadīth is authentic, with supporting evidence from the ḥadīth of Abū Qatādah, Ibn ʿUmar, and ʿUqbah ibn
