"and it was narrated by others from Ḥammād from Thābit from ʿUtbah ibn al-Ghāfir who said: the two men... and he mentioned it." I said: I did not find anyone who connected it, nor did I recognize ʿUtbah ibn al-Ghāfir, and the preserved narration is from the two trustworthy narrators Yaḥyá ibn Abī Bukayr and Ibn ʿĀʾishah from Ḥammād. (Note): The phrase of salutation at the end of the ḥadīth is missing in "Majmaʿ al-Zawāʾid" and "Majmaʿ al-Baḥrayn" as well, but it is confirmed in their original sources: "al-Muʿjam al-Awsaṭ" as you see, and in "Shuʿab al-Īmān" also, and in other sources that attributed the ḥadīth to al-Ṭabarānī, such as "Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr" (4/547) and "al-Durr al-Manthūr" (6/392). As for the statement of the commentator on "Majmaʿ al-Baḥrayn" (8/272) in the footnote, where he added it at the end of the ḥadīth between brackets []: "What is between the brackets is from Ṭṣ." I see it as nothing but an error, because this symbol (Ṭṣ) only means "al-Muʿjam al-Ṭabarānī al-Ṣaghīr" as he stated in the introduction (p. 28) and al-Ṭabarānī did not include it in "al-Ṣaghīr," and he himself did not attribute it to it in his extraction. And Allāh knows best. In this ḥadīth, there are two benefits from the practice of our predecessors, may Allāh have mercy on them all: one of them is the salutation upon parting, and the text explicitly states this from his saying (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): "When one of you reaches the gathering, let him greet with salutation, and when he wants to leave, let him greet with salutation, for the first is not more deserving than the last." It is an authentic ḥadīth extracted in the first volume of this "series" under number
