(147), so he—meaning Abū al-ʿAyūf—is among those who are cited as evidence, even if his ḥadīth is not inherently good. And Allāh knows best. The other chain: it is narrated by ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz from Hilāl, the freedman of ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz, from ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Jaʿfar from his mother Asmāʾ bint ʿUmays who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) taught me words to say during distress: "Allāh, Allāh is my Lord, I do not associate anything with Him." It was recorded by al-Bukhārī in "al-Tārīkh al-Kabīr" (2/2/329), Abū Dāwūd (1525), Ibn Mājah (3928), as well as al-Nasāʾī in "ʿAmal al-Yawm wa-al-Laylah" (no. 649), Ibn Abī Shaybah in "al-Muṣannaf" (10/196/9205), Aḥmad (6/369), al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr" (24/135/363) and also in "al-Duʿāʾ", and Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ḥilyah" (5/360) from various chains.

Therefore, we can say: it is a ḥasan or ṣaḥīḥ isnād, as the rest of its narrators are also trustworthy, narrators of the two Shaykhs, except for this Hilāl, who is nicknamed "Abū Ṭuʿmah" and is more famous by it. He was deemed trustworthy by Ibn ʿAmmār al-Mawṣilī, and a group narrated from him. As for al-Ḥāfiẓ, he said: acceptable, and it was not proven that Makḥūl accused him of lying. This is what I had said in the takhrīj of the ḥadīth in "Ṣaḥīḥ Abī Dāwūd" (1364), relying on what is in "Kunā al-Tahdhīb" and "al-Taqrīb", then I overlooked this
