ʿĀʾishah, then he stopped him - that the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam)... the ḥadīth. al-Tirmidhī remained silent about it, and Ibn ʿAdī said: "There is a disagreement about Hishām ibn ʿUrwah; some stopped it, some sent it, some said 'ʿĀʾishah,' and some said: 'from Abū Hurayrah.' ʿUmar ibn ʿAlī has good ḥadīths, and I hope there is no harm in him." I said: He is trustworthy in himself, but he used to practice very bad tadlīs [concealment], to the extent that his ḥadīth is not considered reliable even if he explicitly states he heard it, as mentioned in his biography in "al-Tahdhīb." However, he is not alone in this narration as will be shown, and the rest of the men in the isnād are trustworthy, the men of the two Shaykhs, except for Abū Bakr ibn Nāfiʿ, whose name is Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad, and he is among the individuals of Muslim. Among those who supported al-Muqaddamī is Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ṭafāwī from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah with it. Ibn ʿAdī narrated it (300/2) and said: "This ḥadīth is weak." I said: Rather, it is authentic due to its follow-ups and supporting evidence as will be shown. Al-Ṭafāwī was relied upon by al-Bukhārī, and his memory has slight weakness, so his ḥadīth is ḥasan, if Allāh wills. He was also followed by Sharīk ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Qāḍī with the wording: "When he heard an unpleasant name, he would change it. He passed by a village called 'ʿAfrāʾ' and named it 'Khuḍrah.'"

- "When he heard an unpleasant name, he would change it. He passed by a village called 'ʿAfrāʾ' and named it 'Khuḍrah.'" al-Ṭabarānī narrated it in "al-Muʿjam al-Ṣaghīr" (p. 70) through the route of Isḥāq ibn Yūsuf al-Azraq who narrated to us from Sharīk with it. He said: "No one narrated it from Sharīk except Isḥāq."
