that the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said ... and he mentioned it. It was also recorded by al-Bayhaqī in "al-Sunan" (8/157-158) through the route of Abū al-Mughīrah and others from al-Awzāʿī with it. Similarly, it was recorded by Ibn Ḥibbān (8/229/6624 and 6625). I said: This isnād is authentic, its narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of the two Shaykhs; except for this Abū Bakr, whose name is Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Zanjawīh al-Baghdādī, and he is unanimously trustworthy. There is a corroborating narration from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar, recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Awsaṭ"; but it contains Muslimah ibn ʿAlī, who is abandoned as mentioned in "al-Majmaʿ" (7/270). There is another corroborating narration for its latter part from the ḥadīth of Umm Salamah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhā) raised with the wording: "There will be rulers, and you will recognize and disapprove. Whoever recognizes (in another narration: dislikes) is absolved, and whoever disapproves is safe, but whoever is content and follows [is not]." They said: Should we not fight them? He said: "No, as long as they pray." It was recorded by Muslim (6/23), Abū ʿAwānah (4/471-473), al-Bayhaqī also, Abū Dāwūd (4760), al-Tirmidhī (2266) who said: "A ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ ḥadīth," and Aḥmad (6/295, 302, 305, 306, and 321), and through his route: al-Mizzī in "Tahdhīb," and al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Kabīr" (23/331) through the route of Ḍabbah ibn Muḥṣin from her. (Note): At the end of this ḥadīth of Umm Salamah in "Ṣaḥīḥ al-Jāmiʿ" (3618) there is an addition: "he is not absolved," which has no basis with any of those we mentioned, so it should be deleted. Then, years after this extraction, I came across a criticism of the isnād of this ḥadīth of Umm Salamah from the verifier of "Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn" named Ḥassān ʿAbd al-Manān, who commented on the ḥadīth saying (p. 89/129):
