then the statement of al-Ṭabarānī mentioned earlier is not accepted, because al-Ḥākim has included it in "al-Mustadrak" (4/470) through the route of Abū ʿAwānah from al-Aʿmash with it. Ibn Numayr was followed by Abū ʿAwānah, and al-Ḥākim said: "A ṣaḥīḥ ḥadīth according to the criteria of al-Shaykhayn!" And al-Dhahabī agreed with him! This is a clear error, because ʿAmr ibn Ḥanẓalah is not among their narrators, as he has the unknown status that al-Ḥāfiẓ pointed out in "al-Taʿjīl." The second route: from ʿAbd al-Jabbār ibn al-ʿAbbās al-Shabāmī (original: al-Shāmī) from Abū Qays - ʿAbd al-Jabbār said: I think - from Huzayl who said: Ḥudhayfah stood as a preacher in the house of ʿĀmir ibn Ḥanẓalah, where the Tamīmī and the Muḍarī were present, and said: A day will come upon Muḍar when they will not leave a servant of Allāh worshipping Him except they kill him, or they will strike him with a blow that will not spare the tail of a sheep or the lower part of a sheep. It was said: O Abū ʿAbd Allāh, do you say this to your people, or to a people you are - meaning - among them? He said: I do not say - meaning - except what I heard the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say. It was recorded by Aḥmad (5/404). I said: And this is a good isnād, if al-Shabāmī - attributed to "Shabām," a mountain in Yemen - has preserved it, for he is trustworthy, as are those above and below him, and Abū Qays is ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Tharwān mentioned earlier in the first route from the narration of al-Aʿmash from him. There is no doubt that al-Aʿmash is more reliable than al-Shabāmī, especially since this one doubted his isnād by saying: "I think from Huzayl," so I fear he may not have preserved it. And Allāh knows best. The third: from Manṣūr ibn al-Muʿtamir from Ribʿī from Ḥudhayfah who said:
