ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUthmān ibn al-Arqam from his grandfather al-Arqam. and from ʿAlī ibn ʿAyyāsh from ʿAṭāf from Yaḥyá ibn ʿImrān from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUthmān with it. I said: This indicates two things: first, that the ḥadīth is indeed among those omitted from the printed "Musnad." The second is that Yaḥyá ibn ʿImrān was omitted from the isnād between al-ʿAṭāf and ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿImrān in the earlier narrations. It is apparent that this omission is from al-ʿAṭāf himself—not from the narrators from him, as they are trustworthy—and he has been criticized for his memory, as indicated by the ḥāfiẓ who said: "truthful but makes mistakes." He was corroborated by several others, as Abū Nuʿaym narrated it (no. 1007) through the route of Abū Muṣʿab from Yaḥyá ibn ʿImrān ibn ʿUthmān ibn al-Arqam from his uncle ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUthmān, and from his family, from his grandfather ʿUthmān ibn al-Arqam from al-Arqam. Abū Nuʿaym said: "Muḥammad ibn Abī Bakr al-Muqaddamī narrated it from Yaḥyá ibn ʿImrān in the same way." Among the variations on al-ʿAṭāf's narration is what Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim narrated in "al-Āḥād wa-al-Mathānī" (2/19/688) through the route of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ṣāliḥ: ʿAṭāf ibn Khālid al-Makhzūmī informed us, ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUthmān ibn al-Arqam informed us from his father ʿUthmān ibn al-Arqam who said: "I came to the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam)..." the ḥadīth, thus attributing it to the Musnad of ʿUthmān ibn al-Arqam. The ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Iṣābah" after mentioning it in the fourth section, meaning those whose companionship was not confirmed: "This is how he mentioned it, and it is an error from Abū Ṣāliḥ or someone else, and the correct version is what Abū al-Yamān narrated."
