"they are the fiercest fighters in the battles." Al-Ḥākim said: "A ṣaḥīḥ ḥadīth according to the criteria of Muslim." Al-Dhahabī approved it, and perhaps Al-Ḥākim included it in his collection because Muslim did not narrate it in full; he only mentioned a portion concerning the battles and referred the rest to a previous ḥadīth from the narration of Abū Zurʿah, who said: Abū Hurayrah said... and he mentioned the ḥadīth in full, similar to it. And he said in the statement: "they are the strongest of my ummah against the Dajjāl." Similarly, it was recorded by al-Bukhārī (2543 and 4366), and Abū Yaʿlá in "his Musnad" (10/493/6108), and through his route: al-Bayhaqī (7/11). Aḥmad also recorded it (2/390) in a shortened form with the wording: "This is the charity of my people, and they are the strongest against the Dajjāl, meaning: Banū Tamīm." Abū Hurayrah said: There was no tribe among the living more hateful to me than them, but I loved them since I heard the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say this. The ḥadīth of the chapter has two supporting narrations: one from the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿUmar, with a good chain, authenticated by al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar in "Mukhtaṣar al-Zawāʾid" (2/382). The other is from the ḥadīth of Ibn Masʿūd, with a weak chain. Both were narrated by al-Bazzār, and they are included in the other book (5731). *
