the ḥadīth, and at its end is the ḥadīth of the chapter, which has already been mentioned under number (2677) with this narration of Aḥmad only, with an indication that part of it is in "the two Ṣaḥīḥs," and here are benefits not mentioned there. This isnād is good as I explained there, and al-Mundhirī strengthened it (3/40). It has a corroborating narration from Abū Saʿīd with a similar wording. It was recorded by Ibn Mājah (2426) with a good chain, and al-Būṣīrī authenticated it, and another from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Sufyān at al-Ṭabarānī, and it appeared in "al-Targhīb" as "ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd," which is an error by the printer or copyist. (fanahamahum al-nās): meaning they rebuked him, it is said: nahama al-ibil when it is driven and shouted at to move on.

- "The best of Allāh's servants from this ummah are those who, when seen, remind one of Allāh, and the worst of Allāh's servants from this ummah are those who walk with slander, causing division between loved ones and seeking harm for the innocent." Narrated by al-Kharāʾiṭī in "Masāwīʾ al-Akhlāq" (vol. 2/6/1): narrated to us by Aḥmad ibn Mūsá al-Muʿaddil al-Bazzār, narrated to us by Dāwūd ibn Mihrān, narrated to us by Marwān ibn Muʿāwiyah from Muḥammad ibn Abī Mūsá: informed me Hubayrah ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān: informed me ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ghanm: narrated to us by Abū Mālik al-Ashʿarī as marfūʿ. I said: This isnād is weak, Hubayrah ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān was not deemed reliable by anyone other than Ibn Ḥibbān (5/511). And Muḥammad ibn Abī Mūsá is unknown to me. See "al-Jarḥ" (4/1/84). It has a corroborating narration from Shahr ibn Ḥawshab from Asmāʾ bint Yazīd as marfūʿ with a similar wording. Narrated by al-Bukhārī in "al-Adab al-Mufrad" (323) and Abū al-Shaykh in "al-Tawbīkh"
