147) From the narration of Saʿīd ibn Abī Maryam who said: ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Muḥammad al-Darāwardī informed us, saying: Dāwūd ibn Ṣāliḥ informed us from Sālim ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar from his father: that Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq and ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb and some people from the Companions of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) sat after the death of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), and they discussed the gravest of major sins, but they had no knowledge [to conclude upon], so they sent me to ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ to ask him about that, and he informed me: Indeed, the gravest of major sins is drinking wine. So I came to them and informed them, but they denied that, and they all rushed to him, [until they came to him in his house] and he informed them that the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: and he mentioned it. Al-Ṭabarānī said: "It is not narrated from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr except through this isnād, and al-Darāwardī is unique in narrating it." Al-Ḥākim said—and the addition is his: "Authentic according to the criteria of Muslim"! Thus he said, and there is what follows, and al-Mundhirī said (3 / 184): "It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī with an authentic isnād and al-Ḥākim, and he said: Authentic according to the criteria of Muslim." I said: No, rather it is only authentic, for Dāwūd ibn Ṣāliḥ is not among the men of Muslim at all, and thus al-Haythamī said (5 / 68): "It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī in 'al-Awsaṭ', and its men are the men of 'the authentic', except for Ṣāliḥ ibn Dāwūd al-Tammār, and he is trustworthy." The first story has been narrated between a woman and a devout worshiper, where she gave him the choice between killing a boy, committing adultery, or drinking wine, so he drank wine, committed adultery, and killed the boy. It has been narrated both as marfūʿ and mawqūf, and it is preserved as I have clarified in my commentary on "al-Aḥādīth al-Mukhtār" (320 and 349 - 350)
