it was recorded by Aḥmad (2/365). With these two corroborations, Aḥmad's narration from the book of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yazīd, which includes the addition of ʿAmr ibn Abī Nuʿaymah in the isnād, is preferred. This reveals to me that the isnād is weak, contrary to what I previously concluded in some comments, because ʿAmr ibn Abī Nuʿaymah was described by al-Dāraqūṭnī as: "An unknown Egyptian, to be disregarded." As for Ibn Ḥibbān, he mentioned him in "al-Thiqāt" (7/229) according to the principle! Knowing this, in the ḥadīth of Ibn Abī Nuʿaymah, there is an addition reported by al-Bukhārī and others: "And whoever is consulted by his Muslim brother and advises him without guidance has betrayed him; and whoever issues a fatwá without careful consideration, its sin is upon the one who issued it." This addition is found with Abū Dāwūd (3657); and al-Dārimī has the second sentence of it (1/570); and he did not mention Ibn Abī Nuʿaymah in his isnād; it is one of the two narrations of Abū Dāwūd. Al-Dhahabī said in his biography in "al-Kāshif": "His report is not authentic," referring to this ḥadīth with this addition. Otherwise, the first sentence of it is authentic due to the supporting evidence and paths, as previously and subsequently mentioned. Moreover, this sentence has been authenticated through another chain from Abū Ṣāliḥ from Abū Hurayrah, raised to the Prophet with the wording: "Whoever lies about me deliberately, let him take his seat..."
