and secondly, that Muslim recorded it through ʿAbd al-Razzāq and others, so attributing it to him would have been more appropriate. and thirdly, al-Bukhārī does not include: "so make it lawful for us"! There is another chain of narration, narrated by Muʿādh ibn Hishām from his father, from Qatādah, from Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyib, from Abū Hurayrah, from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): "that a prophet from among the prophets went on an expedition with his companions..." the ḥadīth in its entirety, and at the end: "Indeed, Allāh provided us with the spoils of war as a mercy He bestowed upon us, and as a relief He lightened for us, due to His knowledge of our weakness." It was recorded in full by Ibn Ḥibbān in "Ṣaḥīḥ" (7/149/4787) and likewise by al-Nasāʾī in "al-Kubrā" (5/8878 and 6/352/11208). I say: This isnād is authentic according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs. Its full wording and more detailed referencing have been mentioned earlier in the first volume (number 202).

When they violate it, do not ask about the destruction of the Arabs. Then the Abyssinians will come and destroy it, leaving it in ruins never to be rebuilt, and they are the ones who will extract its treasure." It was recorded by Ibn Abī Shaybah in "al-Muṣannaf" (15/52-53), al-Ḥākim (4/452-453), al-Azraqī in "Tārīkh Makkah" (1/278), al-Baghawī in "al-Jaʿdiyyāt" (2/1005/2911), and from him by al-Dhahabī in "Siyar al-Aʿlām" (2/146), al-Ṭayālisī (2373), and Aḥmad (2/291, 312, 328, and 351) through various chains from Ibn Abī Dhīʾb
