one of them: from the narration of al-Layth from Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr ibn ʿAṭāʾ from him. It was recorded by al-Bukhārī in "al-Adab al-Mufrad" (1219) and al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Awsaṭ" (1/185/2/3407) through the path of Muḥammad ibn Faḍl from him. Al-Ṭabarānī said: "No one narrated it from Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr except al-Layth, and Muḥammad was alone in this." I say: He is trustworthy, as are all its narrators except al-Layth, who is Ibn Abī Sulaym al-Ḥimṣī, and he is weak. The other path: narrated by al-Zuhrī from ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUtbah from Ibn ʿAbbās with it. And it is narrated from al-Zuhrī by a group: the first is Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah. It was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Awsaṭ" (1/30/2/494 - according to my numbering) through the path of al-Zubayr ibn Bakkār, and by Abū Nuʿaym in "Akhbār Aṣbahān" (2/348) through the path of Abū Isḥāq ʿAbd al-Wahhāb ibn Fulaīḥ al-Muqriʾ and Muḥammad ibn Maymūn al-Khayyāṭ, all three from Sufyān with it. Al-Ṭabarānī said: "No one narrated it from Sufyān from al-Zuhrī from ʿUbayd Allāh except al-Zubayr ibn Bakkār!" Thus he said, and the paths of Abū Nuʿaym invalidate it, and this was hidden from al-Mundhirī, who said in "al-Targhīb" (3/130): "It was narrated by al-Bazzār and al-Ṭabarānī with chains of narrators, one of which is the chain of the authentic narrators, except al-Zubayr ibn Bakkār, who was alone in it as al-Ṭabarānī said, and his being alone does not harm, for he is a trustworthy leader." And similarly in "al-Majmaʿ" (5/30)! I say: It is known that he was followed up by Ibn Fulaīḥ and Ibn Maymūn, and they are also trustworthy, so the chain is extremely authentic. Al-Mundhirī erred in his unrestricted attribution to al-Ṭabarānī, for he only narrated it in "al-Awsaṭ", and al-Haythamī attributed it to him. The second: Ṣāliḥ ibn Abī al-Akhdar from al-Zuhrī with it. It was recorded by al-Bazzār (3/337/2886) and he said: "There is a difference in it from al-Zuhrī, as Ibn ʿUyaynah said: from al-Zuhrī from ʿUbayd Allāh as mursal. ʿUqayl said: from al-Zuhrī from ʿUbayd Allāh from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī (original: Abū Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyib from Abū Hurayrah). Sufyān ibn Ḥusayn said: from al-Zuhrī from ʿUrwah from ʿĀʾishah." I say: I have not come across the mursal of ʿUbayd Allāh, and if the chain to him is authentic, then the correct version is from Ibn ʿAbbās due to the narration of the three trustworthy narrators from him, and it is apparent that al-Bazzār did not reach this. Ṣāliḥ ibn Abī al-Akhdar is weak, but he is considered if he does not contradict. The third: ʿUqayl from Ibn Shihāb from ʿUbayd Allāh from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī as marfūʿ with the wording: "Whoever sleeps with the smell of fat on his hand, and then a spot afflicts him, let him blame none but himself." Al-Bazzār mentioned it as previously stated, and al-Ṭabarānī connected it in "al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr" (6/43/5435)
