al-Hamdānī in "al-Fawāʾid" (folio 197/1) and al-Bayhaqī in "al-Shuʿab" (3/61/2872). I said: This isnād has trustworthy men, but al-Tirmidhī criticized it for being mawqūf, saying: "This ḥadīth has been reported as mawqūf, and I do not know anyone who raised it except what was narrated by Salm ibn Qutaybah from Ṭuʿmah ibn ʿAmr from Ḥabīb ibn Abī Thābit from Anas. This ḥadīth is only narrated from Ḥabīb ibn Abī Ḥabīb al-Bajalī from Anas ibn Mālik as his statement." I said: Then he and Ibn ʿAdī connected it through the route of Wakīʿ from Khālid ibn Ṭahmān from Ḥabīb ibn Abī Ḥabīb (al-Tirmidhī added: al-Bajalī) from Anas in a similar manner as mawqūf upon him, not raising it. I said: This is not a significant defect because it is not said based on mere opinion, so it is in the ruling of marfūʿ, especially since ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAfrāʾ al-Dawsī raised it: Khālid ibn Ṭahmān narrated to us from Anas who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: and he mentioned it similarly without mentioning Ḥabīb. Ibn ʿAdī recorded it. And this al-Dawsī is truthful, and his teacher Khālid ibn Ṭahmān is similar, except that he was confused, so I do not know if he omitted the mention of Ḥabīb in the isnād or if it was the copyist, and perhaps this is more likely, for Ibn ʿAdī said: "And this ḥadīth has been mentioned with Ḥabīb ibn Abī Ḥabīb in it, Ṭuʿmah ibn ʿAmr narrated this ḥadīth from him, and Khālid ibn Ṭahmān narrated it from him as both marfūʿ and mawqūf, and I do not know if this Ḥabīb ibn Abī Ḥabīb is the owner of the anmāṭ, or another Ḥabīb?!"
