Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyá ibn Ḥamzah al-Dimashqī: ḥadathanī my father from his father from Abū ʿAmr al-Awzāʿī from Ibrāhīm ibn Ṭarīf from Yaḥyá ibn Saʿīd from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Yaʿlá from him with a similar narration. It was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Duʿāʾ" (2/1293/1058), and in "al-Muʿjam al-Awsaṭ" (1/4/1/43) and from him by Abū Nuʿaym in "Dalāʾil al-Nubuwwah" (p. 149). Al-Ṭabarānī said: "No one narrated it from al-Awzāʿī except Yaḥyá ibn Ḥamzah, who was unique in transmitting it from him." Al-Haythamī said in "al-Majmaʿ" (10/128): "It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī in 'al-Ṣaghīr', and it includes someone I do not know!" It appeared as "al-Ṣaghīr" due to a typographical error, the correct title is "al-Awsaṭ". One of the mentioned individuals ignored this error, misleadingly suggesting there was no error in the printed version, as he only mentioned: "and it includes someone I do not know!" and approved it! It seems that al-Haythamī meant al-Ṭabarānī's shaykh (Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyá al-Dimashqī) and his father. This is a remarkable oversight on his part, as his father (Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyá ibn Ḥamzah al-Dimashqī) was mentioned by Ibn Ḥibbān in "al-Thiqāt" (9/74), and he criticized his son Aḥmad, saying: "He narrates from his father, and the people of al-Shām narrated from him. He is reliable in himself, but what is narrated from him by (Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥamzah) and his brother (ʿUbayd) should be avoided, as they would insert anything into it." It is well-known among those engaged in this field that al-Haythamī had the primary merit in
