and I mentioned earlier that Maysarah was contradicted, so I say: al-Masʿūdī contradicted him through the narration of ʿĀṣim ibn ʿAlī: al-Masʿūdī narrated to us from al-Minhāl ibn ʿAmr from Abū ʿUbaydah from ʿAbd Allāh: that he saw a woman from his family with a necklace containing amulets... the ḥadīth is similar to it but more complete, and it is all suspended, with the addition: "Indeed, Satan comes to one of you and whispers in her head, and if she seeks protection, he withdraws, but if she does not, he pricks! So if one of you were to call for water and sprinkle it on her head and face, then say: In the name of Allāh, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Then recite *Say, 'He is Allāh, [who is] One'* and *Say, 'I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak'* and *Say, 'I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind'*, it will benefit her, if Allāh wills." It was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr" (9/193-194). And al-Masʿūdī had become confused, so his contradiction of Maysarah, who is trustworthy in his isnād and text, holds no value. Moreover, one of the weak narrators has reported it from Maysarah from al-Minhāl ibn ʿAmr from Abū ʿUbaydah in a shortened form like the ḥadīth of the chapter, but he suspended it. It was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī (8862) through the route of Abū Isrāʾīl al-Malāʾī from Maysarah. I say: The name of Abū Isrāʾīl is Ismāʿīl ibn Khalīfah al-ʿAbsī, and he has poor memory, so his narration does not oppose that of Isrāʾīl with his aforementioned isnād from Ibn Masʿūd as marfūʿ. And he is Isrāʾīl ibn Yūnus ibn Abī Isḥāq al-Sabīʿī, and he is trustworthy as mentioned earlier. Moreover, it is possible that Abū ʿUbaydah also narrated the ḥadīth or part of the story of his father Ibn Masʿūd, for in a narration by al-Ṭabarānī (8861) through the route of Maʿmar from ʿAbd al-Karīm al-Jazarī from Ziyād ibn Abī Maryam or from Abū ʿUbaydah - Maʿmar was uncertain - he said:
