It was narrated by Aḥmad (2/358) from Ibn Lahīʿah, from al-Ḥasan ibn Thawbān, from Mūsá ibn Wardān, from him. I say: Its narrators are reliable, except that Ibn Lahīʿah had poor memory, and he was contradicted in his wording by al-Layth ibn Saʿd and Saʿīd ibn Abī Ayyūb, who narrated from al-Ḥasan ibn Thawbān with the wording: "I entrust you to Allāh, who does not neglect His trusts." This version from Abū Hurayrah is more authentic and its chain is good, narrated by Aḥmad (1/403). Then I saw that Ibn Lahīʿah also narrated it with this wording in Ibn al-Sunnī, number (501), and Ibn Mājah (2/943, number 2825), confirming his error in the first wording.

Second: Shaking hands with one hand, which is mentioned in many ḥadīths,
