2 - As for the ḥadīth of Zayd, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), it is narrated by Bilāl ibn Yasār ibn Zayd from his father from his grandfather in a marfūʿ manner, without the phrase "three times." It was recorded by Abū Dāwūd, al-Tirmidhī, and Ibn Abī Khaythamah in "al-Tārīkh" (250 - Islamic University Manuscript) and Ibn Saʿd (7/66). Al-Tirmidhī found it strange, and al-Mundhirī deemed its isnād sound, although there is some anonymity as I clarified in "Ṣaḥīḥ Abī Dāwūd" (1358). However, it is authentic due to what precedes and follows it. 3 - As for the ḥadīth of Abū Bakr, it is narrated by ʿUrwah ibn Zuhayr al-Bajalī from Thābit al-Bunānī from Anas ibn Mālik from him in a marfūʿ manner. It was recorded by Ibn ʿAdī in "al-Kāmil" (Q 260/1) and he said: "I do not know any other ḥadīth from ʿUrwah." Al-Bukhārī said: "He is not followed in it." Al-ʿUqaylī (3/364) reported that al-Bukhārī said: "His ḥadīth is rejected." However, Ibn Ḥibbān mentioned him in "al-Thiqāt" (7/288)! 4 - As for the ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah, it is narrated by Bishr ibn Rāfiʿ from Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh from his father from him in a marfūʿ manner. It was recorded by Abū Nuʿaym in "Akhbār Aṣbahān" (2/303). I say: This isnād is weak due to the weakness of Bishr ibn Rāfiʿ. I did not recognize Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh, and it is possible that he is Muḥammad ibn ʿUbayd Allāh in diminutive form, who is Muḥammad ibn ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Abī Rāfiʿ al-Hāshimī, their client, as his father has a narration from Abū Hurayrah. If it is him, then he is weak as well
