"and he should wipe three times." It was also recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Kabīr" (no. 6624), and al-Dūlābī in "al-Kuná" (1/26-27) — and the context is his; for al-Ṭabarānī did not narrate it — and in it: "..and if both men go out together, they should separate, and neither should sit close to the other, nor should they converse, for Allāh detests that." This addition is authentic; for it has a strong corroboration from the ḥadīth of Jābir (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu), as previously discussed under no. 3120. Its isnād here is weak due to Yazīd ibn Sinān al-Rahāwī and his son. The third path: It is narrated by Abū Ghassān Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyá al-Kinānī (original: al-Kisāʾī!) who said: My father told me from the nephew of Ibn Shihāb from Ibn Shihāb who said: Khallād (original: Ibn Khallād) informed me that his father heard the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say: ... and he mentioned it like the first narration. It was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Awsaṭ" (2/416-417/1717-T), and he said: "No one narrated it from al-Zuhrī except his nephew, and no one from the nephew of al-Zuhrī except Abū Ghassān (!), Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyá al-Nīsābūrī was unique in narrating it." I say: Thus is the original: "except Abū Ghassān"! And likewise in its original manuscript (1/92/2), and similarly in "Majmaʿ al-Baḥrayn" (1/297), and it is an apparent error not noticed by the commentators on the original and the "Majmaʿ"! For its apparent meaning is that (Abū Ghassān) is the one who narrated it from the nephew of al-Zuhrī, while in the isnād there is (Abū Abī Ghassān) between them, which is the flaw in the isnād, and his name is (Yaḥyá)
