Abū Ismāʿīl al-Ashʿarī al-Kūfī, the jurist, and one of the narrators from Zayd ibn Abī Anīsah, as mentioned in "Tahdhīb al-Mizzī." Secondly, al-Haythamī attributed it to "al-Awsaṭ of al-Ṭabarānī" instead of "his al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr," which is an oversight; for it was indeed extracted there—as previously indicated—with its chain of transmission and text. This; and we realized after extracting the ḥadīth that it was already extracted and printed in (the fifth volume) of this "series" under number (2084), and in repetition there is benefit, if Allāh wills; especially since there is an addition here that was not mentioned there. *

After this, I say: I have found several chains for the ḥadīth: the first: al-Zuhrī reported that ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar said: We arrived in Medina; we were afflicted by a severe fever from the climate of Medina, and people often prayed sitting during their supererogatory prayers. The Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) came out to them at midday while they were praying sitting during their supererogatory prayers, and he said ... and he mentioned it. It was extracted by ʿAbd al-Razzāq in "al-Muṣannaf" (2/471/4120) from Maʿmar; and Ibn Abī
