weak." This is a defect based on examining the isnād of al-Ṭabarānī specifically, otherwise, he was followed by Saʿīd ibn ʿAmr al-Ḥaḍramī as I have seen, and he is from Ḥimṣ, and he is a shaykh as Abū Ḥātim said, so the ḥadīth with this follow-up is strong. As for the follow-up of ʿAbd al-Wahhāb ibn al-Ḍaḥḥāk, it is not something to be pleased with because he is a liar. In the previous statement of al-Ṭabarānī: "Ismāʿīl was unique in narrating it," it indicates that his son did not uniquely narrate it from him. Reflect on this. And knowing this, al-Munāwī did not do well when he transmitted the statement of al-Haythamī and then agreed with it, especially since al-Suyūṭī also attributed it to al-Bayhaqī in "al-Shuʿab," and he—meaning al-Munāwī—did not address whether the ḥadīth was with him through the route of Muḥammad ibn Ismāʿīl or not.

"The Hour will not be established until you fight a people with small eyes and broad faces, as if their eyes are the pupils of locusts, and their faces are like hammered shields, wearing shoes made of hair and using shields, until they tie their horses to palm trees." It was recorded by Aḥmad (3/31): ʿAmmār ibn Muḥammad ibn Akht Sufyān al-Thawrī narrated to us from al-Aʿmash from Abū Ṣāliḥ from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī as marfūʿ. And it was recorded by Ibn Mājah (4099): al-Ḥasan ibn ʿArafah narrated to us, ʿAmmār ibn Muḥammad narrated it. I say: This isnād is good, its men are trustworthy, the men of the two Shaykhs except for ʿAmmār ibn Muḥammad, he is from the men of Muslim only, but he is truthful and makes mistakes
