from Shaybān and al-Thawrī from ʿĀṣim with a shortened version; without the story of Ibn ʿAbbās that precedes his saying: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: ... Ibn Jarīr al-Ṭabarī narrated in "Tafsīr" (25/54) through the chain of Sufyān, and Ibn Ḥibbān (1758) - and the other narration of his - through the chain of Shaybān ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ... the interpretation of the verse (the Hour). Ibn Kathīr attributed it in "al-Tafsīr" (3/132) through a third chain from Shaybān alone similar to the narration of al-Ṭabarānī, but it included: "Abū Aḥmad, the freedman of the Anṣār"! And I suspect that the name (Aḥmad) is a distortion of (ʿAfrāʾ), as well as the name (ʿUqayl) in "al-Musnad"! And Allāh knows best. After this extraction, I say: This isnād is ḥasan, its narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of Muslim; except that ʿĀṣim - who is Ibn Bahdalah - has slight criticism, his ḥadīth does not fall below the level of ḥasan as mentioned repeatedly, and therefore the two Shaykhs did not narrate from him except when paired. Therefore, al-Haythamī said after attributing it to Aḥmad and al-Ṭabarānī (7/104): "And in it is ʿĀṣim ibn Bahdalah, whom Aḥmad and others considered trustworthy, but he had poor memory, and the rest of the men are the men of the Ṣaḥīḥ." Al-Ḥāfiẓ said: "Truthful with errors, authoritative in recitation, and his ḥadīth in the 'Ṣaḥīḥayn' is paired." Abū Razīn is Masʿūd ibn Mālik al-Asadī al-Kūfī. Abū Yaḥyá is Miṣdaʿ al-Aʿraj al-Muʿarqab, the freedman of Muʿādh ibn ʿAfrāʾ al-Anṣārī, and Muslim considered him trustworthy by including him in his "Ṣaḥīḥ" as mentioned earlier, and he was also considered trustworthy by Ibn Ḥibbān and Ibn Shāhīn
