(Note): Al-Mundhirī mentioned the ḥadīth of Anas that was previously cited from Ibn al-Qayyim, and he said afterward (4/255): "Ibn Abī al-Dunyā narrated it as a mawqūf report, while others narrated it as marfūʿ, and the mawqūf is more likely to be correct." I said: It seems he is referring to the marfūʿ narration by Ibn Mardawayh mentioned earlier, and this correction is accurate, as is evident from the previous investigation. However, it appears to me that al-Mundhirī was not aware of the other marfūʿ path found with Imām Aḥmad, otherwise he would not have overlooked it given the authenticity of its isnād. Thus, the correct view is that both the mawqūf and marfūʿ are authentic. There is no contradiction between them, as is apparent. And Allāh knows best.

The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: 'Those who eat them are more delicate than they.'" It was narrated by al-Tirmidhī (2/88), Ibn Jarīr in "al-Tafsīr" (30/209), Aḥmad (3/237), and al-Maqdisī in "Ṣifat al-Jannah" (3/3/85/1) through various chains from Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muslim from his father from Anas ibn Mālik who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) was asked: What is al-Kawthar? He mentioned it. Al-Tirmidhī said: "This is a ḥasan gharīb ḥadīth, and Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muslim is the nephew of Ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrī, and ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muslim is the brother of al-Zuhrī Muḥammad ibn Muslim ibn ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrī." I said: And he was corroborated by Ibn Shihāb al-Zuhrī himself and others, as Abū Awīs said: Ibn Shihāb informed me that his brother informed him that Anas ibn Mālik al-Anṣārī informed him of it
