his commentary on "al-Iḥsān" (4/95- al-Muʾassasah); he decisively affirmed the authenticity of its isnād from the two paths from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUkaym, and he was correct. However, he should have pointed out his retraction from criticizing it for inconsistency, as that contradicts the aforementioned decisive affirmation. Moreover, some say that the commentary on "al-Iḥsān" is not by the commentator on "al-Sharḥ," but rather by one of his employees! If this is true, it explains the lack of correction of the previous error, as it was not by the corrector in the commentary on "al-Iḥsān." The other point: it was previously mentioned in the extraction of the ḥadīth that it is narrated by al-Qāsim ibn Mukhaimarah from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUkaym. This is how it is with al-Bukhārī from Hishām, and with others from followers other than Hishām. It appears with Ibn Ḥibbān as: "from al-Qāsim ibn Mukhaimarah from al-Ḥakam from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Laylá from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUkaym," adding between al-Qāsim and ibn ʿUkaym: al-Ḥakam and ibn Abī Laylá. I suspect this addition is an error by some copyists, as it contradicts the narration of al-Bukhārī and others, and because those who documented al-Qāsim and al-Ḥakam—who is ibn ʿUtaybah—did not mention a narration from him. It seems to be an old error, as it was attributed by al-Zaylaʿī in "Nasb al-Rāyah" (1/120) to Ibn Ḥibbān in this manner! This makes it unlikely that it is a typographical error, as this mistake also occurred in the edition of Muʾassasat al-Risālah (4/95), which is much more accurate than the edition of Dār al-Kutub al-ʿIlmiyyah to which we refer because it is complete. I do not know the reason for the institution's delay in completing their edition (1)! A third note: the ḥadīth—in both its wordings—has been omitted from "Zawāʾid Ibn Ḥibbān" (p. 61), so it should be added there. There are many examples of this that I am in the process of collecting, Allāh willing. This; and perhaps it would benefit the esteemed readers to mention that such corrections for others after..
