then I found another route for the ḥadīth of Abū Ayyūb. Al-Ṭayālisī said in "Musnad" (81/598) and from his route, al-Bayhaqī in "Shuʿab" (7/490/11094): Abū al-Ṣabāḥ al-Shāmī narrated to us from ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Shāmī from his father from Abū Ayyūb with a similar narration. I said: This isnād is obscure; I did not recognize any of them except Abū Ayyūb.

- "Indeed, everything has a master, and the master of gatherings is facing the qiblah." It was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Awsaṭ" (3/269): Ibrāhīm narrated to us, ʿAmr ibn ʿUthmān narrated to us: Muḥammad ibn Khālid informed us from Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr from Abū Salamah from Abū Hurayrah who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: ... and he mentioned it. And he said: "No one narrated it from Muḥammad ibn Khālid except ʿAmr." I said: He is al-Wahbī, and he is trustworthy, as are those above him, with slight weakness in Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr, so the isnād is ḥasan as will be explained. And Ibrāhīm is Ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿArq al-Ḥimṣī as in the biography of his teacher ʿAmr from "Tārīkh Ibn ʿAsākir" (13/289/2), but Ibrāhīm himself was not given a biography. Al-Ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Lisān": "He is a shaykh for al-Ṭabarānī, not relied upon." Then al-Ṭabarānī and Ibn ʿAdī narrated in "al-Kāmil" (2/376) from the route of Ḥamzah ibn Abī Ḥamzah from Nāfiʿ from Ibn ʿUmar with the elevated wording: "The most honored gatherings are those facing the qiblah," and they said: "No one narrated it from Nāfiʿ except Ḥamzah."
