mention any authentication for the latter, contrary to Ibn Ḥibbān, for he only mentioned the first in his "Thiqāt" (4/291). Both of them were narrated from by Abū Isḥāq al-Sabīʿī. And Allāh knows best. Moreover, al-Sabīʿī is a mudallis, and he narrated it with ʿanʿanah.

So you see that Shuʿbah said: "Zayd ibn Wahb," instead of "Saʿīd ibn Wahb," so I do not know which of them is more authentic. (Note): This ḥadīth was previously mentioned under number (2598) from the narration of Ibn Mandah and al-Aṣbahānī in "al-Targhīb," and it appeared here with a significant addition in the referencing and verification, so I retained it, and Allāh is the Guide to success.

What do you think of a man who passes wind, performs ablution, and wipes over his leather socks, should he pray? He said: and he mentioned it
