a sound ḥadīth, and Abū Maysarah is al-Hamdānī, his name is ʿAmr ibn Sharḥabīl. I said: He is a trustworthy, devout follower from the men of the two Shaykhs [al-Bukhārī and Muslim], and likewise the rest of its narrators are trustworthy from the men of the two Shaykhs. Abū Isḥāq is ʿAmr ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Sabīʿī, and although he was accused of tadlīs [concealing defects in a ḥadīth] and confusion, Sufyān — who is al-Thawrī — heard from him before the confusion, and perhaps he only narrated from him what was explicitly stated as a narration, like Shuʿbah, for they said: al-Thawrī was the most reliable of people in regard to him. and the ḥadīth has another chain and a corroborating narration from Abū Hurayrah.

I said: He is al-Nahshalī al-Fākhūrī, and he is truthful but makes mistakes, and Muslim used him as evidence. ʿĪsá ibn ʿUthmān is al-Nahshalī al-Kisāʾī, and he is truthful from the teachers of al-Tirmidhī. Mūsá ibn Isḥāq al-Anṣārī al-Qāḍī, Ibn Abī Ḥātim said (4/1/135): "I heard from him, and he is trustworthy and truthful." I said: So the chain is good except that I have not found a biography for the teacher of Abū Nuʿaym now. As for the corroborating narration, al-Bazzār said (p. 99 - Mukhtaṣar al-Zawāʾid): ʿAlī ibn
