I said: ʿAmr ibn Khālid - he is the Egyptian - is trustworthy. And Ibn Lahīʿah is truthful, but he has poor memory; however, he is strengthened by the corroborations that precede him, so the ḥadīth, in its entirety, is at least ḥasan in my view. And Allāh knows best.

- "Whoever causes a man to embrace Islam, he is his patron." It is narrated from the ḥadīth of Abū Umāmah, Tamīm al-Dārī, and Rāshid ibn Saʿd as mursal. 1 - As for the ḥadīth of Abū Umāmah, it is narrated by Muʿāwiyah ibn Yaḥyá al-Ṣudafī from al-Qāsim al-Shāmī from Abū Umāmah as marfūʿ. It was recorded by Saʿīd ibn Manṣūr in "Sunan" (3/1/56), Abū Ḥāmid al-Ḥaḍramī in "Ḥadīth" (157/2), al-Dāraquṭnī in "Sunan" (p. 502), al-Bayhaqī (10/298), al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Kabīr" (8/223/7781), and Ibn ʿAsākir in "al-Tārīkh" (16/392/2). I said: This isnād is weak, due to this al-Ṣudafī. Ibn Abī Ḥātim mentioned it in "al-ʿIlal" (2/53), and said: "Abū Zurʿah refused to read it to us, and we did not hear it from him." He was followed by Jaʿfar ibn al-Zubayr from al-Qāsim ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān with a similar narration. It was recorded by al-Mukhliṣ in "al-Fawāʾid al-Muntaqāh" (13/248/1), Ibn ʿAdī (Q 53/1), and from him by al-Bayhaqī (10/298), and also by Saʿīd ibn Manṣūr as in "Tahdhīb Ibn al-Qayyim" (4/186). But Jaʿfar is abandoned, as ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq said in "Aḥkām" (168/2)
