however, Sufyān disagreed with him, saying: from Isḥāq with it as mursal, not mentioning Bilāl. It was recorded by Ibn Qutaybah in "Gharīb al-Ḥadīth" (1/90/1). He was followed by Zakarīyā ibn Abī Zāʾidah from Abū Isḥāq with it. It was recorded by Ibn al-Aʿrābī in "al-Muʿjam" (folio 14/1). Thus, it is a ṣaḥīḥ mursal isnād if Abū Isḥāq remembered it correctly, for he had become confused, and there is disagreement in its isnād, which is forthcoming. 3 - As for the ḥadīth of Ibn Masʿūd, it is narrated by Qays ibn al-Rabīʿ from Abū Ḥuṣayn from Yaḥyá ibn Wathāb from Masrūq from him. It was recorded by al-Bazzār (3653 - Kashf al-Astār), Ibn al-Aʿrābī (122/2), al-Ṭabarānī (1/100/2 and 3/72/1), and al-Qaḍāʿī (folio 64/2). Al-Bazzār said: "This is how Qays narrated it, and a group narrated from him in this manner, but Yaḥyá ibn Kathīr disagreed with them, narrating from Qays from ʿĀʾishah instead of ʿAbd Allāh." I said: It has been narrated from her through another route, which follows. 4 - As for the ḥadīth of ʿĀʾishah, it is narrated by Sufyān ibn Wakiʿ: Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī narrated to us from Zāʾidah from al-Aʿmash from Ṭalḥah from Khaythamah from Masrūq from her. It was recorded by Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn al-Ḥarrānī in "al-Fawāʾid" (folio 29/1). I said: Its narrators are trustworthy except for Sufyān ibn Wakiʿ, who is weak. In summary, the ḥadīth is ṣaḥīḥ when considering all its routes, especially since the first route of the first ḥadīth does not fall below the level of ḥasan, as previously mentioned.
