Abū Nuʿaym also included it in "al-Ḥilyah" (2/280 and 6/274) through another chain from al-Firyābī and others from Bishr with it. Abū Yaʿlá included it in "his Musnad" (4/1437): Bishr ibn Sayḥān narrated it with the addition: "The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) visited Bilāl, who brought him a basket of dates. He said: 'What is this, O Bilāl?' He replied: 'Dates I have stored, O Messenger of Allāh!' He said: 'Did you not fear that it would emit a steam in Hell? Spend...' etc." I say: This isnād is good, all its narrators are trustworthy and well-known from the men of "al-Tahdhīb" except for Bishr ibn Sayḥān, who is Abū ʿAlī al-Thaqafī al-Baṣrī. Abū Ḥātim wrote about him and said: "There is nothing wrong with him, he was among the devout." Likewise, Abū Zurʿah narrated from him, and when asked about him, he said: "A righteous Basran shaykh," as in "al-Jarḥ wa-al-Taʿdīl" (1/1/358). This was missed by the ḥāfiẓ, as he did not mention him in his biography in "al-Lisān," but he said: "Ibn Ḥibbān mentioned him in "al-Thiqāt": he might have narrated something strange." The second: from Bakkār ibn Muḥammad al-Sīrīnī, ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAwn narrated to us from Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn with it and it includes the story. It was included by al-Bazzār (4/251/3655), al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Kabīr" (1/101/1) and "al-Awsaṭ" (4/486 - al-Jāmiʿah al-Islāmiyyah), and Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ḥilyah" (2/180) and al-Bayhaqī in "al-Dalāʾil" (1/347). And Abū Ṣāliḥ al-Ḥarbī in "al-Fawāʾid al-ʿAwālī" (fol. 175/2) and al-ʿUqaylī in "al-Ḍuʿafāʾ" (p. 55) in the biography of this Bakkār, and he narrated two other ḥadīths from him, and said:
وأخرجه أبو نعيم في " الحلية " (٢ / ٢٨٠ و ٦ / ٢٧٤) من طريق أخرى عن الفريابي وغيره عن بشر به. وأخرجه أبو يعلى في " مسنده " (٤ / ١٤٣٧) : حدثنا بشر بن سيحان به، وزاد: " عاد رسول الله ﷺ بلالا، فأخرج إليه صبرا من تمر، فقال: ما هذا يا بلال! قال: تمر ادخرته يا رسول الله! قال: أما خفت أن تسمع له بخارا في جهنم؟ !! أنفق ... " إلخ. قلت: وهذا إسناد جيد، رجاله كلهم ثقات معروفون من رجال " التهذيب " غير بشر بن سيحان، وهو أبو علي الثقفي البصري. كتب عنه أبو حاتم وقال: " ما به بأس، كان من العباد ". وكذلك روى عنه أبو زرعة، وسئل عنه فقال: " شيخ بصري صالح "، كما في " الجرح والتعديل " (١ / ١ / ٣٥٨) . وفات هذا الحافظ فلم يذكره في ترجمته من " اللسان "، وإنما قال: " قال ابن حبان في " الثقات ": ربما أغرب ". الثانية: عن بكار بن محمد السيريني حدثنا عبد الله بن عون عن محمد بن سيرين به وفيه القصة. أخرجه البزار (٤ / ٢٥١ / ٣٦٥٥) والطبراني في " الكبير " (١ / ١٠١ / ١) و " الأوسط " (٤ / ٤٨٦ - الجامعة الإسلامية) وأبو نعيم في " الحلية " (٢ / ١٨٠) والبيهقي في " الدلائل " (١ / ٣٤٧) . وأبو صالح الحربي في " الفوائد العوالي " (ق ١٧٥ / ٢) والعقيلي في " الضعفاء " (ص ٥٥) في ترجمة بكار هذا، وساق له حديثين آخرين، وقال:
