It was recorded by Ibn Saʿd (7/508) and al-Bukhārī in "al-Tārīkh" (4/1/266-267). I said: And this isnād is weak. This Ḥammād—this is his nickname, and his name is Muḥammad—is weak. Abū ʿAqīl's name is Muslim ibn ʿAqīl, and in his biography, al-Bukhārī mentioned him but did not include any criticism or praise, and Ibn Abī Ḥātim did the same (4/1/190). As for ʿAbd Allāh ibn Iyās ibn Abī Fāṭimah and his father, I did not find a biography for them.

It was also recorded by Ibn Abī al-Dunyā (Q 88/1-2). I said: And this isnād is weak due to the anonymity of the man who narrated to Jābir, as he was not named. And Jābir, who is Ibn Yazīd al-Juʿfī, is weak, and therefore al-Mundhirī indicated the weakness of his ḥadīth (4/147).

- "Indeed, some of you are witnesses over others." It was recorded by al-Ṭayālisī (2388), Aḥmad (2/466 and 470), Abū Dāwūd (3233), and al-Nasāʾī (2/273) through various chains from Ibrāhīm ibn ʿĀmir from ʿĀmir ibn Saʿd from Abū Hurayrah who said:
