and ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad disagreed with him through Muḥammad ibn Naʿīm: Isḥāq ibn Manṣūr narrated to us with it, except that he added: "and I heard the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say: until his uvula and molars appeared." Ibn Mandah recorded it following the narration of Ibn al-Akhram and said: "None of those who preceded mentioned this." I said: This indicates that this addition is at least anomalous or odd because ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad alone reported it, and he is ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn Naṣr, who has some weakness as noted in "Tārīkh Baghdād" (12/76) and "al-Mīzān." Especially since he added it to the ḥāfiẓ Ibn al-Akhram, and our colleague Dr. ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn Nāṣir al-Faqīhī pointed out in his commentary on "al-Īmān" the uniqueness of ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn Naṣr in this addition, and the weakness in it, but he missed that he was followed, as Abū ʿAwānah said (1/139): ʿAbdullāh ibn Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal and Aḥmad my brother said to me: Isḥāq ibn Manṣūr narrated to us with it, except that he said: "or his molars." I said: I did not know Aḥmad, the brother of Abū ʿAwānah, but ʿAbdullāh ibn Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal is a well-known trustworthy figure, and thus Ibn Naṣr is absolved of responsibility for this addition, and it becomes clear that it is preserved from Isḥāq ibn Manṣūr, through the narration of ʿAbdullāh ibn Aḥmad and his peer from him, but that does not make one feel assured that it is preserved in the ḥadīth, for the following reasons: Firstly: Muslim narrated it from Isḥāq without the addition as mentioned earlier. Secondly: Imām Aḥmad and ʿUbaydullāh ibn Saʿīd contradicted him and narrated it from Rūḥ ibn ʿAbādah without the addition as previously mentioned, and two are more reliable than one, especially when one of them is Aḥmad, who is a mountain in memorization, particularly since Isḥāq agreed with them in Muslim's narration from him. Thirdly: Even if we concede that Isḥāq preserved it from Rūḥ ibn ʿAbādah, it would not be an error
