5 - Yaḥyá ibn Jaʿdah: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: "It is not appropriate for anyone to say: I am better than Yaḥyá ibn Zakariyyā, for he was not guilty of any sin, nor did a woman ever stir desire in his heart." It was recorded by Ibn ʿAsākir (18/92) through the chain of Abū al-Muwajjah Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr ibn al-Muwajjah ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Ghazwān: Ṣadaqah ibn al-Faḍl: Ibn ʿUyaynah informed us from ʿAmr from Yaḥyá ibn Jaʿdah with it. Al-Suyūṭī attributed it in "al-Durr al-Manthūr" (4/262) to Aḥmad also in "al-Zuhd," but it is not in the printed portion of it. And Allāh knows best. The chain is authentic, but it is also mursal. All its narrators are reliable, the narrators of al-Bukhārī, except for Abū al-Muwajjah Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr, who is among the trustworthy memorisers mentioned in "Tadhkirat al-Ḥuffāẓ," and in "al-Siyar" (13/347-348). Al-Samʿānī mentioned in the biography of the narrator from him (Abū Muḥammad al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥalīm al-Ḥalīmī) that he narrated "Musnad Abī al-Muwajjah...," which is a benefit not mentioned by al-Dhahabī that he has a (musnad), and it is not unlikely that this ḥadīth is included in it along with others of similar meaning. There is another ḥadīth with Ibn ʿAsākir (18/94) from the narration of Muʿādh ibn Jabal, which I refrained from mentioning because it includes (Isḥāq ibn Bishr), whose kunya is Abū Ḥudhayfah, accused of lying. Furthermore, I must add and say: Al-Bazzār also recorded the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAbbās from the first chain as well, but in an extended form, and this text appears at the end, number (2358), which is a narration for al-Ṭabarānī (12/218/12938). Al-Bazzār said: "We do not know anyone who narrated it in this wording except Yūsuf, and no one from him except ʿAlī ibn Zayd alone." I said: It is weak as previously mentioned. Al-Suyūṭī also attributed it in "al-Durr" to Ibn al-Mundhir,
