the additional paths referred to, along with another addition that will be noted, are as follows: the first path: from Qatādah from him. It was recorded by Ibn Mājah (2/480), and al-Būṣīrī said in "al-Zawāʾid": "Its isnād is authentic, its narrators are trustworthy." I said: I have reservations about its authentication, which I find unnecessary to mention now, as it is acceptable for supporting evidence. The second: from al-ʿUmayrī from him. It was recorded by Aḥmad (3/120), and this al-ʿUmayrī is unknown to me, and it is most likely a distortion of (al-Namīrī) whose name is Ziyād ibn ʿAbd Allāh, as he narrated from Anas, and from him Ṣadaqah ibn Yasār, who is the one who narrated this ḥadīth from him, and al-Namīrī is weak, but the rest of its narrators are trustworthy. The third: from Ibn Lahīʿah, who narrated to us from Khālid ibn Yazīd from Saʿīd ibn Abī Hilāl from him. And it adds: "They said: O Messenger of Allāh, who is that group? He said: the community, the community." It was also recorded by Aḥmad (3/145) and its isnād is ḥasan in supporting evidence. The fourth: from Salmān or Sulaymān ibn Ṭarīf from him. It was recorded by al-Ājurī in "al-Sharīʿah" (17) and Ibn Baṭṭah in "al-Ibānah" (2/118/2), and I did not find a biography for Ibn Ṭarīf. The fifth: from Suwayd ibn Saʿīd who said: Mubārak ibn Suḥaym narrated to us from ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Ṣuhayb from Anas
