Ibn ʿAsākir narrated it (4/147/2) through the route of Abū Yaʿlá: Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Adhraʿī informed us of it, and through the route of Aḥmad: Ḥusayn ibn Muḥammad informed us: Isrāʾīl informed us of it. I said: It is in "al-Musnad" (5/391): Ḥusayn ibn Muḥammad narrated it to us in a more complete form. Then Aḥmad (5/404) and al-Ḥākim (1/312-313) extracted it through the route of Zayd ibn al-Ḥabbāb in a summarized form that does not include the ḥadīth of the chapter, and al-Ḥākim's narration is very brief, containing only the prayer between Maghrib and ʿIshāʾ. Ibn Khuzaymah narrated it similarly in "Ṣaḥīḥ" (1194) from this route, and al-Mundhirī attributed it in "al-Targhīb" (1/205) to al-Nasāʾī with a good isnād. He attributed it to al-Nasāʾī without specification, but he only extracted it in "al-Sunan al-Kubrā / al-Manāqib" (5/80-81) and al-Ḥākim said: "Authentic according to the conditions of the two Shaykhs." Al-Dhahabī agreed with him, but this is one of their errors, as Maysarah ibn Ḥabīb is not among their narrators, though he is trustworthy. The ḥadīth was also extracted by al-Tirmidhī in "al-Manāqib" (9/338/3783) through another route from Isrāʾīl similar to the narration in "al-Musnad" from Ḥusayn ibn Muḥammad, and by Ibn Naṣr in "Qiyām al-Layl" (p. 33) in a more concise form. Al-Tirmidhī said: "A good and strange ḥadīth, we do not know it except from the narration of Isrāʾīl." I said: He is Ibn Yūnus ibn Abī Isḥāq al-Sabīʿī, and he is trustworthy, though he was criticized without evidence as mentioned in "al-Taqrīb," so the isnād is authentic.

- "I looked into Paradise and saw that most of its inhabitants were the poor, and I looked into the Fire and saw that most of its inhabitants were women." It was extracted by Muslim (8/88), al-Tirmidhī (2605), and Aḥmad (1/224) from
