as for al-Bayhaqī, he weakened the ḥadīth by saying after narrating from the path of Layth from Mujāhid who said, and he mentioned it similarly: "This is from the words of Mujāhid, and there is a marfūʿ ḥadīth on this matter that is not strong." Then he proceeded with it. Al-Ḥāfiẓ transmitted it in the biography of this Muslim in "al-Lisān," and he said afterwards: "I say: there is no one in its isnād to be scrutinized except this Muslim." I say: you have known that al-Khaṭīb also authenticated him, and this is something that escaped al-Ḥāfiẓ and others, so there is no need to hesitate in strengthening it, and Allāh is the grantor of success. It may come to mind that the ḥadīth contradicts authentic ḥadīths, among them his saying (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): "There is no Muslim who plants a plant or sows a crop, and a bird, person, or animal eats from it, except that it is considered charity for him." It was narrated by the two Shaykhs and others as in "al-Ṣaḥīḥah" (no. 7). Al-Ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Fatḥ" (5/4): "In it is the permissibility of attributing the crop to a human, and there is a ḥadīth that prohibits it which is not strong, narrated by Ibn Abī Ḥātim..." and he mentioned it. And I say: you have known that the ḥadīth is strong, so it is necessary then to reconcile it with the ḥadīth of the two Ṣaḥīḥs in one of the known ways of reconciliation, such as interpreting the prohibition in the ḥadīth of the chapter as being for dislike, as they said in reconciling the ḥadīths prohibiting naming grapes as "karm" with other ḥadīths in which it came, such as his saying (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): "Wine is from these two trees: the vine and the date palm." Narrated by Muslim (6/89) and like the ḥadīth prohibiting selling grapes for raisins ("see" Fatḥ al-Bārī 4/385-386)
