is more authentic than the narration of Ibn Lahīʿah, as is apparent. If you understand what has been mentioned previously, the ḥadīth is strong and has no defect, unless someone insists or attempts to find fault with it due to Muḥammad ibn Sahl. However, those three narrated from him: Yazīd ibn Abī Ḥabīb, Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq, and al-Walīd ibn Kathīr, who is Abū Muḥammad al-Madanī, and all of them are trustworthy. To them are added Abū ʿUfayr al-Anṣārī and al-Ḥajjāj ibn Arṭāh, according to Ibn Abī Ḥātim (3/2/277), and he did not mention any criticism or commendation about him. However, if it is considered that he is a Tābiʿī, and these five narrated from him, in addition to Ibn Ḥibbān mentioning him in "al-Thiqāt" (3/238), then one can be assured of using a ḥadīth like his as evidence. This is the approach taken by many researchers, especially if his ḥadīth has supporting evidence like this ḥadīth, as I will explain. It is no wonder that al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar remained silent about it in "al-Fatḥ" (12/182), then explicitly stated its authenticity on the following page, meaning due to its supporting evidence, which is correct, if Allāh wills. However, there was an error in transmission that is worth pointing out, as he said: "And al-Ṭabarānī has from the ḥadīth of Sahl ibn Abī Khaythamah (!) from ʿAlī, raising it..." and he mentioned the ḥadīth of the chapter. I said: Mentioning ʿAlī in al-Ṭabarānī's narration is a clear error from our previous extraction, and this is confirmed by the fact that al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Kathīr mentioned it in "al-Tafsīr" (1/484) from the narration of Ibn Mardawayh from al-Ṭabarānī - as previously mentioned - except that it appeared in it like "al-Fatḥ": "Abī Khaythamah," which is a typographical error, and it was actually narrated from ʿAlī by al-Bukhārī - as mentioned before - through the route of ʿAbdah from Ibn Isḥāq. Then I saw with Ibn Jarīr in "al-Tafsīr" (5/25) another route from Ibn Isḥāq from Muḥammad ibn Sahl ibn Abī Ḥathmah from his father who said: "I was in this mosque, the mosque of Kūfah, and ʿAlī (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) was delivering a sermon to the people from the pulpit, and he said: O people! The major sins are seven. The people listened attentively, and he repeated it three times, then said: Will you not ask me about them? They said: O Commander of the Faithful! What are they? He said: (and he mentioned them). So I said to my father:
