I said: This is how it is in "al-Musnad," and likewise in al-Haythamī's transmission (10/190) from it; the meaning is not clear to me, so I fear there might be an omission in the original; then he said in his takhrīj: "Aḥmad narrated it and said: (ʿUbādah), and al-Ṭabarānī said: (ʿAbbād) - and Allāh knows best - and some of the isnāds of Aḥmad and al-Ṭabarānī have narrators who are narrators of (al-Ṣaḥīḥ)." I said: And it is a connected and authentic isnād. Aḥmad also extracted it just before this isnād, and in another place (3/470), as did al-Dārimī (2/315), and al-Bukhārī in "al-Tārīkh" (3/2/94), and al-Bayhaqī (6141) through the route of Ayyūb from Ḥumayd ibn Hilāl who said: ʿUbādah ibn Qurṣ said it, and added: "He said: This was mentioned to Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn, who said: He is truthful, and I see the dragging of the lower garment as part of it." I said: And his saying: "He said: ʿUbādah said" appears in the form of a suspended narration, so it seems he did not hear it from ʿUbādah, and this is supported by the first route? For between them is (Abū Qatādah al-ʿAdawī) as you have seen. *

(The teacher of goodness is sought forgiveness for by everything, even the fish in the seas). Al-Ṭabarānī extracted it in "al-Awsaṭ" (2/85/1/6355): Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī al-Ṣāʾigh narrated to us, he said: Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Zarārah al-Raqī narrated to us, he said: Abū Isḥāq al-Fazārī narrated from al-Aʿmash from Abū Sufyān from Jābir who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said ... and he mentioned it, and said: "No one narrated it from al-Aʿmash except Abū Isḥāq al-Fazārī." I said: And he is a trustworthy ḥāfiẓ from the narrators of the two Shaykhs, and his name is Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥārith, and similarly al-Aʿmash, whose name is Sulaymān ibn Mihrān. And Abū Sufyān is also among their narrators, and his name is Ṭalḥah ibn Nāfiʿ al-Wāsiṭī
