I said: thus, with this wording, it is rejected from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah, and what is preserved is what Abū Usāmah and others narrated from Hishām with the wording: "The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) loved sweets and honey." It was recorded by Aḥmad (6/59), and by the two Shaykhs and others, and it is included in my new book "Mukhtaṣar al-Shamāʾil al-Nabawiyyah" (164). However, I found a supporting narration for the ḥadīth of the chapter from the narration of Ismāʿīl ibn Umayyah from a man from Ibn ʿAbbās: that the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) was asked: "Which drink is the best?" He said: "The sweet cold one." It was recorded by Aḥmad (1/338). I said: and the men of its isnād are the men of "the two Ṣaḥīḥs"; except for the man who was not named, and he is a Tābiʿī, so someone like him can be used as supporting evidence. And Allāh knows best. The ḥadīth has been previously recorded—in the fifth volume under number (2134)—so it was necessary to point it out. *

Whoever rejects them is absolved, and whoever restrains his hand is safe, but whoever is pleased and follows...) It was recorded by Abū Yaʿlá in "his Musnad" (4/1413): Abū Bakr ibn Zanjawayh narrated to us: Abū al-Mughīrah ʿAbd al-Quddūs narrated to us: al-Awzāʿī narrated to me from al-Zuhrī from Abū Salamah from Abū Hurayrah
