I said: He is weak as mentioned in "al-Taqrīb," and similarly the narrator from him, Yaḥyá ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd, who is al-Ḥammānī, and with him alone, al-Haythamī criticized it, saying in "al-Majmaʿ" (7/30): "It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī in 'al-Kabīr' and 'al-Awsaṭ,' and in it is Yaḥyá al-Ḥammānī, who is weak." And the critic of authentic ḥadīths followed him in his commentary on "Ighāthat al-Lahfān" (2/195) and there is no basis for criticizing it with him, because he was not alone in narrating it, as al-Ṭabarānī indicated in his mentioned statement, for he was followed by Muḥammad ibn ʿImrān at Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Maʿrifah" (1/142/1). And Ibn ʿImrān is Ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Laylá al-Anṣārī, and he is trustworthy. And there is another defect, which is the disconnection between al-Ḍaḥḥāk and Ibn ʿAbbās, for he did not meet him. But the following path supports it, especially since al-Dhahabī said about him in "al-Mughnī": "He is strong in tafsīr." And the other path: narrated by Jabbārah ibn al-Mughlas: Abū Shaybah Ibrāhīm ibn ʿUthmān told us from al-Ḥakam from Mujāhid from Ibn ʿAbbās as marfūʿ: "Engage in battle and you will gain the daughters of the yellow." So some of the hypocrites said: He is tempting you with women! Then Allāh revealed: * "And among them is he who says, 'Grant me permission and do not put me to trial.'" * (Sūrah al-Tawbah, 49) It was also narrated by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Kabīr" (11/63/11052), and al-Haythamī criticized it by saying: "And in it is Abū Shaybah Ibrāhīm ibn ʿUthmān, who is weak."
