I said: It is from the narration of Muʿādh ibn ʿAwḍ Allāh al-Qurashī: ʿAwf narrated to us from Abū al-Ṣiddīq al-Nājī from him. And al-Ṭabarānī said: "Muʿādh ibn ʿAwḍ Allāh was the sole narrator of it." I said: I did not find a biography for him in the books I have, but perhaps it is in "Thiqāt Ibn Ḥibbān." Then I saw it there (9/178) and he said: "His ḥadīth is reliable." The rest of its narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of the six [books], except for al-Ṭabarānī's shaykh Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muslim al-Kajjī, who is a trustworthy imam. It has a corroborating narration from Ibn Masʿūd and others. The discussion on it has already passed under number (1552).

- "A vow is only what is intended for the sake of Allāh." It was narrated by al-Bayhaqī (10/67) through the route of ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Ḥārith al-Makhzūmī from ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather that the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said it, and he mentioned it. I said: And this isnād is good, if Allāh wills, for ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Ḥārith is truthful but has errors, as mentioned in "al-Taqrīb." And ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather is relied upon, as established by the researchers, and I have clarified this in "Ṣaḥīḥ Sunan Abī Dāwūd" / al-Umm (number 124). The ḥadīth was also narrated by al-Bayhaqī (10/75) and Aḥmad (2/183) through another route from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Ḥārith, and it includes the reason for the ḥadīth's occurrence. Abū al-Zanād followed him from ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb in a similar manner at al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Awsaṭ" (1/77/1/1412 - my numbering), and in it is ʿAbd Allāh ibn Nāfiʿ al-Madanī, who is weak as mentioned in "al-Majmaʿ" (4/187).
