in the first instance. and it is undoubtedly not in the ḥadīth of Ghundar, because Aḥmad narrated it from him as such. It is an anomalous addition from Shuʿbah, as it contradicts the narration of a group of reliable narrators from him, and Hushaym's corroboration of him as previously mentioned. Perhaps it was inserted by some copyists. Yes, it is confirmed in the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAmr and Abū Mālik as I mentioned there in the commentary on "al-Kalim al-Ṭayyib" (p. 33) and its sourcing will follow (2763). I found another chain for it from the narration of Layth from Mujāhid who said: Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq said... and he mentioned something similar with the addition. It was recorded by Aḥmad (1/14). I said: It is mursal, and Layth—who is Ibn Abī Sulaym—is weak. (Another note) The phrase: "and the Lord of everything and its Master" was altered to a completely anomalous phrase "everything in Your hands," as it appeared in "al-Adab al-Mufrad" in all the editions I reviewed, including the Indian one, which is the most accurate. It also appeared in the text of Shaykh Faḍl Allāh al-Jīlānī's commentary! It is undoubtedly an error from some copyists of "al-Adab," as it contradicts all the earlier sources of the ḥadīth, including "Afʿāl al-ʿIbād" by al-Bukhārī, the author of "al-Adab," leaving no doubt about its error. The ḥadīth was weakened by (Ḥassān al-Haddām) without evidence or proof, and he did not accept the authentication by those previously mentioned and others not mentioned here, but only reluctantly deemed it fair, casting doubt on it by saying: "A ḥasan ḥadīth, if Allāh wills." He frequently cast similar doubts on many authentic ḥadīths in his sourcing of Ibn al-Qayyim's book "Ighāthah al-Lahfān," and concealed the authenticity of the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAmr. I have clarified all of this in my response to him, number (29).
