he should be circumcised and then perform ḥajj. Then another narration from him was mentioned, which eases the matter for the uncircumcised. It appears that this is if he fears for himself. And Allāh knows best. (Note): Al-Shawkānī confused the earlier ḥadīth of al-Zuhrī (p. 1181), placing it in his book "Nayl al-Awṭār" (1/98) as a ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah, and he said after it: "The ḥāfiẓ mentioned it in 'al-Talkhīṣ' and did not weaken it"! He was followed in this error by the commentator on "Kitāb al-Wuqūf wa-al-Tarajjul" (p. 148), whereas the ḥāfiẓ actually mentioned it as a ḥadīth of al-Zuhrī as previously noted. Another note: Our esteemed brother Ḥamdī al-Salafī said, after clarifying the weakness of the isnād of the ḥadīth in question: "However, the ḥadīth has two supporting narrations from Wāthilah ibn al-Asqaʿ and Qatādah Abū Hishām." So I say: This ḥadīth of Qatādah has been mentioned earlier. As for the ḥadīth of Wāthilah, it is a weak support because it does not include: "and he was circumcised," and it is recorded in my "Ṣaḥīḥ Abū Dāwūd" under the ḥadīth in question, and in "al-Rawḍ al-Naḍīr" with the number (893).

- "O Fāṭimah! (she is the daughter of Qays) The truth [﷿] has left nothing for you. He (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said this to her when she said: Take from my golden necklace what Allāh has decreed." It was narrated by Abū al-Shaykh in his section "Intiqāʾ Ibn Mardawayh" (83/30 - al-Rushd edition)
