I said: This is a good isnād for supporting evidence and witnesses at least, for ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī al-Zinād is a subject of disagreement, and it is established that his ḥadīth is good if he does not contradict. The story of the Abyssinians has come through various chains from ʿĀʾishah in "the two Ṣaḥīḥs" and others. I have included it in "Ādāb al-Zafāf," where I compiled the additions and placed them in brackets [], but it does not include: "I was sent with a tolerant ḥanīfiyyah," because I had doubts about its authenticity at that time due to its contradiction with all the mentioned paths. Moreover, it was not found in another chain from her by al-Ḥumaydī (no. 254), although it included the addition before it: "so that the Jews may know that there is leniency in our religion." All of this led me at that time to disregard it and not rely on it. However, when I reviewed the ḥadīth of the chapter and its supporting evidence, I became assured of its authenticity. All praise is due to Allāh, by whose grace righteous deeds are completed. As for the ḥadīths of Jābir and Ḥabīb ibn Abī Thābit, they are weak. I had included them and uncovered their defects in "Ghayat al-Marām" (no. 8) under the ḥadīth "I was sent with the tolerant ḥanīfiyyah," and I had weakened it for the reason mentioned earlier. As for the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAbbās, its wording contradicts this. Ibn ʿAbbās said: It was said to the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): Which religion is most beloved to Allāh? He said: "The tolerant ḥanīfiyyah." I included it there and explained that it contains the ʿanʿanah of Ibn Isḥāq and other issues, and I criticized al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar for grading its isnād as good! However, I considered its text good due to some supporting evidence I mentioned for it in "Tamām al-Minnah fī al-Taʿlīq ʿalá Fiqh al-Sunnah," and for that reason, I included it in "al-Ṣaḥīḥah" under number (881) and referred to its supporting evidence by linking it to "Tamām al-Minnah." Then I included it in "Ṣaḥīḥ al-Jāmiʿ" (158). I had mentioned in the takhrīj of the ḥadīth of Ḥabīb ibn Abī Thābit that it includes Burd al-Ḥarīrī, and I did not know him
