and it was connected by Yūnus from Ibn Shihāb: Yazīd ibn Wadiʿah al-Anṣārī narrated to me that Abū Hurayrah said: I heard the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say ... and he mentioned it. It was recorded by Ibn Ḥibbān (2290-Mawārid and 6264-Iḥsān). I say: Yazīd ibn Wadiʿah is only known through the narration of al-Zuhrī, as Ibn Ḥibbān mentioned him in "al-Thiqāt" (5/537), and Ibn Abī Ḥātim mentioned him but left it blank! Ibn Abī Shaybah said (12/160): ʿAbd Allāh ibn Idrīs narrated to us from Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq from ʿĀṣim ibn ʿUmar who said: When the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) mentioned the Anṣār, he said: "Chaste and patient." Ibn Idrīs was contradicted in his isnād; Yaḥyá ibn Zakarīyā ibn Abī Zāʾidah said: Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq narrated to us from Ḥuṣayn ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān from Maḥmūd ibn Labīd from Ibn Shafīʿ—who was a physician—said: Usayd ibn Ḥuḍayr called me, so I cut the sciatic nerve for him, and he narrated two ḥadīths to me. He said: Two families from my people came to me: a family from Banī Ẓafar and a family from Banī Muʿāwiyah, and they said: Speak to the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) to divide for us or give us—or something like this—so I spoke to him, and he said: "Yes, I will divide half for each family, and if Allāh blesses us again, we will bless them again." He said: I said: May Allāh reward you well, O Messenger of Allāh! He said: "And may Allāh reward you well; for you—as I have known you—are chaste and patient."
