then I reconsidered and said: but al-Mughīrah is a mudallis, and for this reason, al-Dhahabī mentioned him in "al-Mughnī" and said: "An authoritative imam, but Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal considered his narration from Ibrāhīm to be weak only." I said: thus, his ḥadīth in this case is ḥasan and suitable only for testimony. The ḥadīth was recorded by Ibn Ḥibbān in "Ṣaḥīḥ" (3/73/1622): ʿImrān ibn Mūsá ibn Mujāshiʿ informed us: ʿUthmān ibn Abī Shaybah narrated it, except that he said: "one hundred" instead of "one thousand." It is anomalous due to its contradiction with the previous narration of Aḥmad and his son ʿAbd Allāh on one hand, and with other ḥadīths from a group of other Companions on the other hand, which are extracted in "al-Irwāʾ" (4/143-146). Then it was also recorded by Ibn Ḥibbān (1621), and Abū Yaʿlá in "Musnad" (2/393/1165) as well as al-Bazzār (1/215/429 - Kashf al-Astār) through other chains from Jarīr, with the wording "one hundred." However, al-Haythamī did not provide its wording in "al-Kashf" but rather referred to another chain before this with the wording "one thousand," saying: "I said: he mentioned it similarly." It is as if he means it with the wording: "one thousand," and this is what he explicitly stated in "Majmaʿ al-Zawāʾid," for he said (4/6) after citing it with the wording of Abū Yaʿlá: "Abū Yaʿlá and al-Bazzār narrated it similarly, except that he said: 'better than one thousand prayers,' and the men of Abū Yaʿlá are the men of the authentic." So I say: there is no need to specify Abū Yaʿlá with what he mentioned, for al-Bazzār's teacher in it is Yūsuf
