then he narrated from some of them what might suggest that building itself is entirely sinful! The ḥāfiẓ commented on this by saying: "It is not so; rather, there is detail in the matter, and not everything that exceeds necessity entails sin. Indeed, some construction can bring reward, such as that which benefits others besides the builder, for which the builder receives reward. And Allāh knows best."

- "The Children of Israel wrote a book and followed it, abandoning the Torah." It was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Awsaṭ" (2/39/1/5876): Muḥammad ibn ʿUthmān ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us, saying: Jandal ibn Wāliq narrated to us, saying: ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿAmr narrated from ʿAbd al-Malik ibn ʿUmayr from Abū Burdah from his father, attributed [to the Prophet]. And he said: "Jandal ibn Wāliq is unique in narrating it." I said: He is disputed over; Ibn Ḥibbān (8/167) and Abū Zurʿah considered him reliable in their narrations from him, while Abū Ḥātim said: "Truthful," but others weakened him. Refer to "al-Tahdhīb" if you wish, for he is thus of moderate status with a good ḥadīth. And Allāh knows best. The ḥadīth was attributed by al-Haythamī (1/192) to al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Kabīr," and al-Suyūṭī followed him—symbolically—as is his habit in "al-Jāmiʿ al-Ṣaghīr" and "al-Jāmiʿ al-Kabīr" (number 6405). Thus, I do not know if this attribution is correct, or if it is a slip of the pen, or a mistake by the copyist, as the section containing the Musnad of Abū Mūsá al-Ashʿarī, whose name is ʿAbd Allāh ibn Qays, the father of Abū Burdah, has not yet been printed for us to refer to and verify its presence or not
