" I said (the speaker is Ibn Ḥajar): This ḥadīth was recorded by Abū Dāwūd, al-Tirmidhī, and al-Nasāʾī from the narration of ʿAbd al-Jalīl with this isnād, so there is no reason to correct it. Ibn Ḥajar." The error lies in that this commentary does not pertain to this ḥadīth, but rather to the ḥadīth that follows it in "al-Majmaʿ." This ḥadīth was not narrated by any of the aforementioned compilers of the Sunnah, and ʿAbd al-Jalīl is not in its isnād. Instead, it is the other ḥadīth that includes him, which is from Abū Bakrah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu). The scribe or printer erred by linking the commentary to the first ḥadīth, when it belongs to the latter, and this escaped the notice of Shaykh Aḥmad Shākir (may Allāh have mercy on him). After he referenced this ḥadīth and quoted al-Haythamī's previous statement on its takhrīj, he said: "And al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar commented on it in his own handwriting in the margin of the original..." Then he mentioned the earlier words of al-Ḥāfiẓ! In summary, the ḥadīth is authentic from the narration of Ibn Masʿūd alone, so how much more so when the ḥadīth of Abū Mūsá (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) is added to it. Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah and his student Ibn al-Qayyim authenticated it. Moreover, he stated this in more than one of his books, including "Shifāʾ al-ʿAlīl" (p. 274), and as for Ibn Taymiyyah, I do not recall now in which book or treatise he mentioned that.
