I said: This isnād is good, and its narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of Muslim; however, he included Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr as a corroborative narrator, and there is some weakness in Ḥammād ibn Salamah's narration from other than Thābit al-Bunānī, and he does not have a narration from Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr—who is the son of ʿAlqamah ibn Waqāṣ al-Laythī—according to Muslim. Ḥammād was contradicted in his isnād and matn, as Ibn Khuzaymah said in "al-Tawḥīd" (p. 81): Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyá al-Qaṭaʿī narrated to us, saying: Ziyād ibn al-Rabīʿ narrated to us, saying: Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr ibn ʿAlqamah narrated to us from Abū Salamah from Abū Hurayrah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu): that Muḥammad ibn al-Shurayd brought a black servant girl to the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) and said: O Messenger of Allāh! My mother made a vow to free a believing slave; will it suffice if I free this one? The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said to the servant girl: "Who is your Lord?" She raised her head and said: in the sky ... then he mentioned the rest of the ḥadīth similarly. This chain is more authentic; because Ziyād ibn al-Rabīʿ is trustworthy, among the narrators of al-Bukhārī, but it seems that the statement: "Muḥammad ibn al-Shurayd" is an error by some narrators; for he is not mentioned among the "Companions," and al-Ḥāfiẓ included him in the fourth section of "al-Iṣābah" from the narration of Ibn Mandah, Ibn al-Sakan, al-Bāwardī, and Ibn Shāhīn; but he said in his narration: "(Muḥammad ibn al-Shurayd or al-Shurayd brought a slave girl) thus he had it with doubt, and Abū Nuʿaym narrated it from the narration of Ibrāhīm ibn Ḥarb al-ʿAskarī from al-Qaṭaʿī (original: al-Qaṭīʿī) similarly; except that he said: (ʿAmr ibn al-Shurayd came to the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) ... ), and he corrected this path, and all of that is not preserved! What is preserved: what was narrated by Abū Dāwūd, al-Nasāʾī, and authenticated by Ibn Ḥibbān, from
