it occurred to me during my work on its indexing, which I am in the process of completing, that its copies are different. For this, refer to "Tartīb al-Thiqāt" by al-Haythamī, as it sometimes contains additions to the printed version, and sometimes lacks parts of it. Then the ḥāfiẓ narrated from al-Bukhārī that he said about it: "He is originally truthful, but he narrates from weak individuals."

Thus, the ḥadīth is undoubtedly authentic, but did Ibn Masʿūd narrate it? This is questionable due to what is known about Ibn ʿAbd al-Quddūs. Al-Haythamī said after attributing it to (the two Muʿjams): "In it is ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Quddūs, weakened by Ibn Maʿīn and al-Nasāʾī, and authenticated by Ibn Ḥibbān, and al-Bukhārī said: 'Truthful but narrates from weak individuals.'" I said: And he narrated this from al-Aʿmash, who is trustworthy." Al-Shawkānī leaned towards strengthening the ḥadīth, and before him, the ḥāfiẓ in "al-Fatḥ," as he asserted it, and al-Shawkānī responded to the previous weakening by saying: "He was only criticized because of his narration from the weak."
