that this ḥadīth "has no basis." However, it has a supporting narration indicating that it has a genuine basis, and it is from the ḥadīth of ʿUbādah ibn al-Ṣāmit (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu), and it has two routes: the first is from Mughīrah ibn Ziyād, from ʿUbādah ibn al-Nasī, from al-Aswad ibn Thaʿlabah, from him, who said: "I taught some people from the Ahl al-Ṣuffah the Book and the Qurʾān, and a man among them gifted me a bow. I said: It is not wealth, and I shoot with it in the way of Allāh. I will go to the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) and ask him. So I went to him and said: O Messenger of Allāh, a man gifted me a bow from those whom I taught the Book and the Qurʾān, and it is not wealth, and I shoot with it in the way of Allāh? He said: If you love to be encircled with a collar of fire, then accept it." It was recorded by Abū Dāwūd (2/237 - al-Ḥalabī), Ibn Mājah (2/8), al-Ṭaḥāwī (2/10), Abū Nuʿaym in "Akhbār Aṣbahān" (2/82), al-Ḥākim (2/41), al-Bayhaqī (6/125), and Aḥmad (5/315). Al-Ḥākim said: "Its isnād is authentic." Al-Dhahabī said: "I say: Mughīrah is acceptable in ḥadīth, but Ibn Ḥibbān abandoned him." Al-Bayhaqī said, quoting Ibn al-Madīnī: "Its isnād is entirely known except for al-Aswad ibn Thaʿlabah, for we do not preserve from him except this ḥadīth." He said thus, and he has three other ḥadīths referred to by Ibn al-Turkumānī and Ibn Ḥajar, and they refrained from clarifying the condition of this al-Aswad, who is unknown as in "al-Taqrīb." And it was said in "al-Mīzān": "He is not known."
