then I found another chain for the ḥadīth of the chapter from Ibn ʿAmr, narrated by Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr in "al-Istīʿāb" with his authentic isnād from ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn Ziyād: ʿUthmān ibn Ḥakīm narrated to us, saying: Shuʿayb ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ narrated to us from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said... and he mentioned it. I said: This isnād is also authentic; for all its narrators are trustworthy, and ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn Ziyād is reliable and cited in "al-Ṣaḥīḥayn," and they only critiqued him in his narration from al-Aʿmash specifically, and this is not among them as you see. Therefore, ʿUthmān ibn Ḥakīm has two authentic isnāds in this ḥadīth, which increases its strength, and Allāh knows best. And this chain is like the first one; al-Dhahabī remained silent about it in "al-Tārīkh"! This; and I am extremely astonished by the agreement of some of the ḥadīth scholars who wrote biographies of (al-Ḥakam) on not presenting some of these ḥadīths and clarifying their authenticity in his biography. Is it due to the reverence of companionship, and the fact that he was the paternal uncle of ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān—may Allāh be pleased with him—while they are known for not fearing the blame of any blamer for the sake of Allāh?! Or are there governmental or popular circumstances that prevented them from openly stating the truth they wanted to declare? For example, Ibn al-Athīr says in "Usd al-Ghābah": "Many ḥadīths have been narrated about his cursing and banishment, which do not need to be mentioned, except that the definite matter is: that the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam)—despite his forbearance and overlooking what he disliked—did not do that to him except for a grave matter." More astonishing is the action of the ḥāfiẓ in "al-Iṣābah"; for despite his lengthy biography, he began it by saying: "Ibn al-Sakan said: It is said that the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) supplicated against him, but that is not established!"
