the first: Abū Salamah, that he heard Abū Naḍrah narrate it. It was recorded by Aḥmad (3/44) and Ibn ʿAsākir (7/91/2), and Abū Salamah was named as Saʿīd ibn Zayd, whom I do not recognize. It appears that this naming is a mistake by one of its narrators, as I did not find anyone with the kunya Abū Salamah with this name, nor in "al-Kuná" by al-Dūlābī. It is more likely that it is ʿAbbād ibn Manṣūr al-Nājī al-Baṣrī, the judge, as he belongs to this generation, and among those who narrated from him is Shuʿbah ibn al-Ḥajjāj, who is the one who narrated this ḥadīth from him. If this is correct, then the chain is good with what preceded it, as ʿAbbād also has some weakness in his memory. the second: al-Mustamir ibn al-Rayān al-Iyādī narrated to us from Abū Naḍrah. It was recorded by al-Ṭayālisī (2158) and Aḥmad (3/46-47), and Abū Yaʿlá in "Musnad" (78/2, 83/1). Al-Mustamir is trustworthy, from the men of Muslim, and so are the rest of the narrators. Thus, it is a ṣaḥīḥ chain according to the criteria of Muslim. the third: al-Taymī narrated to us from Abū Naḍrah, except that he said: "if he saw it or witnessed it or heard it." Then Abū Saʿīd said: "I wish I had not heard it," and Abū Naḍrah said: "I wish I had not heard it." It was recorded by Aḥmad (3/53): narrated to us by Yaḥyá from al-Taymī. I say: This is also a ṣaḥīḥ chain according to the criteria of Muslim, and al-Taymī's name is Sulaymān ibn Ṭarḫān, and he is trustworthy, relied upon by the two Shaykhs. the fourth: Qatādah: I heard Abū Naḍrah narrate it. And he added: "Then Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī said: 'The affliction did not cease until we fell short, and we indeed reach the evil.'" It was recorded by al-Ṭayālisī (2151), narrated to us by Shuʿbah from Qatādah, and by Aḥmad (3/92) and al-Bayhaqī (10/90) through two other routes from Shuʿbah, and in a narration with him
