"a ḥadīth ḥasan" indicates that it is ḥasan due to other supporting evidence, as is his terminology which he stated in "al-ʿIlal" at the end of his "Sunan." The discussion remains on Muḥammad ibn Thābit al-Qurashī: Know that Muḥammad ibn Thābit has been mentioned in this way without being attributed to Quraysh, and that he narrated from Abū Ḥakīm and Abū Hurayrah, and that no one narrated from him except Mūsá ibn ʿUbaydah, and therefore they judged him as unknown. However, al-Ḥāfiẓ al-Mizzī and then al-ʿAsqalānī mentioned in their "Tahdhīb" works that he is Muḥammad ibn Thābit ibn Shuraḥbīl from Banū ʿAbd al-Dār, and they cited this narration by al-Ṭabarānī, which mentions that he is al-Qurashī, then they said—and the wording is from al-Mizzī—: "This strengthens what Yaʿqūb ibn Shaybah said that he is Muḥammad ibn Thābit ibn Shuraḥbīl." I say: This is the more likely view to me; because they also mentioned his narration from Abū Hurayrah, and that he is Qurashī, so distinguishing between them is difficult, and therefore; he is trustworthy; because they mentioned that Ibn Shuraḥbīl was narrated from by a group, and Ibn Ḥibbān declared him reliable, mentioning him in "al-Tābiʿīn" (5/358), and in "Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn" (7/408). In summary; the ḥadīth with this supporting evidence is ḥasan at the very least. And for the phrase: "and increase me in knowledge," there is supporting evidence from the ḥadīth of ʿĀʾishah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhā) who said: When he would wake up at night, he would say: "There is no deity except You, Glory be to You, O Allāh! I seek Your forgiveness for my sin, and I ask for Your mercy, O Allāh! Increase me in knowledge..." the ḥadīth. It was recorded by Abū Dāwūd (5061), and al-Nasāʾī in "ʿAmal al-Yawm wa-al-Laylah" (865), as well as Ibn al-Sunnī (752), Ibn Ḥibbān (2359), and al-Ḥākim (1/540) through the route of ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Walīd from Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyib from her. And al-Ḥākim said:
