the fearful—from Khālid ibn Abī ʿImrān, from ʿUrwah, from ʿĀʾishah, as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. It was also recorded by al-Bayhaqī in "Shuʿab al-Īmān" (1/435/629) through another chain from Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq al-Ṣaghānī with the same content. It was recorded by Aḥmad (6/77): Abū Salamah narrated it with the same content. It was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Duʿāʾ" (3/1656-1657) through two other chains from Khallād ibn Sulaymān with the same content. I say: This isnād is authentic, as al-Ḥāfiẓ stated in "al-Nukat ʿalá Ibn al-Ṣalāḥ" (2/732-733), and all its narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of Muslim. The statement of our esteemed colleague Dr. Rabīʿ ibn Hādī: "The truth is that it should be said: Its isnād is ḥasan!" has no basis in my view, because it is based on al-Ḥāfiẓ's statement regarding Khālid ibn Abī ʿImrān in "al-Taqrīb": "truthful and reliable." This does not necessitate only declaring it ḥasan, as long as Muslim included him in "Ṣaḥīḥ," and he was deemed trustworthy by Ibn Saʿd, al-ʿAjlī, and Ibn Ḥibbān, and Abū Ḥātim said: "There is no harm in him." Ibn Yūnus said: "He was the jurist of the people of the Maghreb, and the mufti of the people of Egypt and the Maghreb, and it was said that his supplication was answered." Therefore, al-Dhahabī said in "al-Siyar" (5/378): "He was the jurist of the people of the Maghreb, a trustworthy, reliable, righteous, and devout scholar."
