- "He recited to me: * (Charities are only for the poor and the needy) * and he prolonged it." It was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr" (8677) through the route of Saʿīd ibn Manṣūr, who narrated to us from Shihāb ibn Kharrāsh, who narrated to me from Mūsá ibn Yazīd al-Kindī, who said: Ibn Masʿūd was teaching the Qurʾān to a man, and the man recited: * (Charities are only for the poor and the needy) * (1) without prolongation. Ibn Masʿūd said: "This is not how the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) recited it to me." He asked: "How did he recite it to you, O Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān?" He then mentioned it. I said: This chain of narration consists of reliable men, except for Mūsá ibn Yazīd al-Kindī, whom I do not know, and al-Ḥāfiẓ al-Mizzī did not mention him among the teachers of Ibn Kharrāsh in "al-Tahdhīb." Al-Haythamī mentioned him in "al-Majmaʿ" (7/155) through the route of al-Ṭabarānī, but it appeared as: "Masʿūd ibn Yazīd al-Kindī," and he said afterward: "And its men are trustworthy!" In "Thiqāt Ibn Ḥibbān" (3/260): "Masʿūd ibn Yazīd, narrates from Ibn ʿUmar, narrated from by Muḥammad ibn al-Faḍl." I said: It seems apparent that it is him, and neither al-Bukhārī nor Ibn Abī Ḥātim mentioned him in their books. Then I saw that al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn al-Jazarī included the ḥadīth in "al-Nashr fī al-Qirāʾāt al-ʿAshr" (1/313) with his chain to al-Ṭabarānī, and it included: "Masʿūd ibn Yazīd al-Kindī," indicating that "Mūsá" in "al-Ṭabarānī" is a distortion of "Masʿūd." And Allāh knows best. Al-Jazarī said afterward:
