and al-Haythamī did not comment on this defect, for he said in "al-Majmaʿ" (3/16): "It was narrated by al-Bazzār, and its men are trustworthy"! I say: the disagreement was attributed to al-Bazzār, not to his teacher al-ʿAbbās ibn ʿAbd Allāh, the direct narrator from Abū al-Mughīrah, because al-Bazzār spoke about it, unlike his teacher—who is known as al-Taraqafī—for he is a trustworthy ḥāfiẓ. Abū al-Mughīrah has another teacher from Ṣafwān, who said: Abū Ziyād Yaḥyá ibn ʿUbayd al-Ghasānī narrated to me from Yazīd ibn Quṭayb from Muʿādh that he used to say: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) sent me to Yemen and said: "Perhaps you will pass by my grave and my mosque. I have sent you to a people with tender hearts, who fight for the truth (twice). Fight with those who obey you against those who disobey you, then they will return to Islam, until the woman hastens to her husband, the child to his father, and the brother to his brother. Settle between the two tribes: al-Sakūn and al-Sakāsik." It was also narrated by Aḥmad, al-Ṭabarānī (20/89-90), and al-Bayhaqī (9/20). Al-Haythamī said (10/55) after attributing it to the first two: "Its men are trustworthy, except that Yazīd ibn Quṭayb did not hear from Muʿādh." I say: this negation is taken from the fact that he narrated only from Abū Baḥriyah; they did not mention that he narrated from Muʿādh, except for Ibn Ḥibbān, who included him among the followers in his "Thiqāt" (5/544), saying: "from Muʿādh, his kunyah is Abū Baḥriyah." This is how it appeared, and perhaps he relied on this certainty that he narrated from Muʿādh based on this narration of Aḥmad, and Allāh knows best. As for his statement: "his kunyah is Abū Baḥriyah," this appeared in some copies of "Thiqāt" as mentioned by the commentator, and it seems to be incorrect, for (Abū Baḥriyah) is the kunyah of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Qays as in
