I said: This is a good isnād, its narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of the two Shaykhs, except for Ibn Sayyār. Ibn Abī Ḥātim mentioned him (2/2/76) from the narration of Marwān, and al-Qāsim ibn Mālik from him, without mentioning any criticism or praise, and Ibn Ḥibbān included him in "al-Thiqāt" (7/17). The narration of al-Qāsim ibn Mālik was mentioned by al-Bukhārī in the biography of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sayyār with the mentioned isnād in another ḥadīth, which I have included in "al-Ḍaʿīfah" (5272) due to Ibn Sayyār's uniqueness in it, and the absence of a supporting witness to strengthen it. As for this, it has come from another route with two witnesses, which I had previously included under ḥadīth (1687), and I had included this route there from the narration of Aḥmad, but it contained Ibn Sayyār as (ʿUbayd Allāh) in a diminutive form, whom I did not recognize, nor did al-Ḥusaynī or al-ʿAsqalānī. Ibn Rāhawayh's narration revealed to us that his name was altered in Aḥmad's version, and the correct form is "ʿAbd Allāh" in a magnified form, and he is known for narrating from two trustworthy sources. Therefore, I have included it again with this rare narration preserved for us by Imām Ibn Rāhawayh in "Musnad" — may Allāh reward him and all the imāms well.

- "The sunnah for a boy is two sheep and for a girl, one sheep." It was recorded by Ibn Rāhawayh in "Musnad" (4/109/2): ʿAbd Allāh ibn Idrīs informed us: ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Abī Sulaymān narrated to us from ʿAṭāʾ who said: A woman said in the presence of ʿĀʾishah: If so-and-so's wife gives birth, we will slaughter a camel for him. ʿĀʾishah said: No, but the sunnah... [and she continued with] the ḥadīth. I said: This isnād is authentic if ʿAṭāʾ — who is Ibn Abī Rabāḥ al-Makkī — heard it from ʿĀʾishah, for Aḥmad said:
