Yūsuf and Qabīṣah: Sufyān narrated to us with it, except that he stopped it. then I found a strong supporting witness for the ḥadīth, as al-Bukhārī said in "al-Adab al-Mufrad" (185): Muḥammad ibn Bilāl narrated to us, he said: ʿImrān narrated to us from Qatādah from Zurārah ibn Awfá from Abū Hurayrah in a marfūʿ form with the wording: "Whoever strikes will have retribution taken from him on the Day of Resurrection." al-Ṭabarānī also reported it in "al-Awsaṭ" (no. 1445 - from my copy, and "Majmaʿ al-Baḥrayn" 366 - Ḥaram) from this perspective with the wording: "Whoever strikes with a whip unjustly will have retribution..." and he said: "No one narrated it from Qatādah except ʿImrān, and Muḥammad ibn Bilāl was unique in narrating it.

It was narrated by Ibn Bishrān in "al-Amālī al-Fawāʾid" (2/137/1). Abū al-Ḥusayn ʿAbd al-Bāqī ibn Qāniʿ informed us, he said: Aḥmad ibn Shihāb ibn Ayyūb al-Ahwāzī narrated to us, he said: ʿAbd al-Malik ibn..
