It was recorded by Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ḥilyah" (6/176 and 274), and he said: "It is rare from the narration of Ṣāliḥ, uniquely reported by ʿĀṣim." I said: He is trustworthy as Abū Zurʿah mentioned in "al-Jarḥ" (3/1/350), and likewise, the rest of the men are trustworthy, except for Ṣāliḥ al-Marī, who is weak. al-Ḥasan ibn Yaḥyá is the son of Hishām al-Razī, and it appeared in "al-Jarḥ" as "al-Rāzī," which might be a scribal error. Ibn Ḥibbān said: "He is reliable in ḥadīth, and he was a ḥadīth scholar." 3 - As for the ḥadīth of Samurah, it is narrated by Muḥammad ibn Ṣubayḥ ibn al-Sammāk from Mubārak ibn Faḍālah from al-Ḥasan from him. It was also recorded by Abū Nuʿaym (8/216), and he said: "It is rare from the narration of Mubārak and Muḥammad ibn Ṣubayḥ." I said: They are both truthful, though there is weakness in the memory of Ibn Ṣubayḥ and tadlīs in Mubārak. In summary, the ḥadīth through these three chains does not fall below the level of ḥasan. And Allāh knows best.

"Whoever pleases Allāh by displeasing people, Allāh will suffice him against the people, and whoever displeases Allāh by pleasing people, Allāh will leave him to the people." It was recorded by ʿAbd ibn Ḥumayd in "al-Muntakhab min al-Musnad" (162/1-2) and al-Jawzjānī in his book "Aḥwāl al-Rijāl" (number 2 - my manuscript), and from him by Ibn Ḥibbān (1541): ʿUthmān ibn ʿUmar narrated to us, Shuʿbah informed us from Wāqid from Ibn Abī Mulaykah from al-Qāsim ibn Muḥammad from ʿĀʾishah in a marfūʿ form
