and Sālim ibn ʿUmar followed Nāfiʿ. Al-Bazzār said (1486): "I copied from the book of Aḥmad ibn al-Faraj: from Muḥammad ibn Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Fudayk from Ibn Abī Dhīb from al-Zuhrī from [Sālim from] his father that the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) forbade surprising women at night." When he looked in the book, he said: "I saw it in two places: once from Sālim from his father; and once from Sālim." I said: Aḥmad ibn al-Faraj—who is Abū ʿUtbah al-Ḥimṣī—is weak, and he was inconsistent between connecting and sending [the narration], and the first is more likely, as he was followed by al-Ḥasan ibn Dāwūd al-Mankadarī who said: Ibn Abī Fudayk narrated it connected. Ibn ʿAdī produced it in "al-Kāmil" (2/333), and this is a strong follow-up; for this al-Ḥasan, the ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Taqrīb": "There is no harm in him." Thus, the isnād is established from this aspect as well, and all praise is due to Allāh. Al-Bazzār's statement: "It is only known from Ibn ʿAjlān from Nāfiʿ." Perhaps he means in terms of fame, so it does not contradict its authenticity from a route other than Ibn ʿAjlān, as he was followed by someone more reliable and trustworthy than him, namely ʿUbayd Allāh al-ʿUmrī as mentioned earlier. He was also followed by ʿUmar ibn Muḥammad—who is the son of Zayd ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb al-Madanī—from Nāfiʿ with the wording:
