the second: ʿĪsá ibn Fāʾid is also unknown, as stated by Ibn al-Madīnī and others. the third: Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād, who is the client of the Hāshimites, about whom the ḥāfiẓ said: "Weak, he grew old and his memory changed, so he began to be prompted." From this, you learn of al-Mundhirī's leniency in his statement (3/139), followed by al-Haythamī (5/65): "It was narrated by Aḥmad and al-Bazzār, and the men of Aḥmad are the men of 'the Ṣaḥīḥ', except for the unnamed man!" The clarification is that one of the three mentioned is not from the men of 'the Ṣaḥīḥ', except for Ibn Abī Ziyād, who is among the men of Muslim, but he only narrated from him when paired with others, so take note. A third witness: narrated by ʿAṭiyyah al-ʿAwfī from Ibn Buraydah from his father as a marfūʿ ḥadīth, with the addition: "If he was righteous, his justice will suffice him, and if he was evil, his chains will be increased." It was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Awsaṭ" (1/200/1) through two chains from ʿAṭiyyah, this being one of them, and in the other it is narrated from him: "Ibn Buraydah told me this." And ʿAṭiyyah is weak. (Benefit): When al-Bazzār recorded the previously mentioned chain of Saʿīd ibn Yasār, he recorded it from the chain of Ḥammād ibn Salamah from Yaḥyá ibn Saʿīd from him. And from the chain of ʿUbayd ibn ʿAmr al-Qaysī: "Yaḥyá ibn Saʿīd narrated to us from Saʿīd from Abū Hurayrah," al-Bazzār said afterwards: "This is how ʿUbayd narrated it, and the trustworthy narrators narrate it from Yaḥyá ibn Saʿīd from Saʿīd ibn Yasār from Abū Hurayrah. And this is correct." So I say: there is no error in the narration of ʿUbayd to be considered a mistake; all that happened is that he did not..
