- (When Allāh, glorified be His mention, intends to create a soul, and a man has intercourse with a woman, his fluid spreads through every vein and nerve of hers. On the seventh day, Allāh brings forth every vein between him and Adam, then he recited: [In whatever form He willed, He assembled you] (Sūrah al-Infitar, verse 8). This was recorded by the ḥāfiẓ Yaʿqūb al-Fasawī in "al-Maʿrifah" (1/342), and through his route by al-Bayhaqī in "al-Asmāʾ" (p. 387), and al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr" (9/1/29/644), "al-Awsaṭ" (2/365/1636), and "al-Ṣaghīr" (p. 12 - Hind, al-Rawḍ 850), and Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ṭibb al-Nabawī" (q. 91/1), and Ibn Mandah in "al-Tawḥīd" (1/231-232/89 and 2/80/220) through two routes from Anīs ibn Suwwār al-Jarmī: My father narrated to us: Mālik ibn al-Ḥuwairith said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: ... and he mentioned it.

Ibn Mandah said: "This isnād is connected and well-known according to the methodology of Abū ʿĪsá and al-Nasāʾī and others." I say: He indicates that it is ḥasan according to the criteria of Abū ʿĪsá al-Tirmidhī and the rest of the authors of the "Sunan"; and it is as he said, if Allāh wills; for Anīs ibn Suwwār and his father were mentioned by al-Bukhārī and Ibn Abī Ḥātim, and they did not mention any criticism or endorsement about them, and Ibn Ḥibbān included them in "al-Thiqāt", saying about (Suwwār) (4/337): "Suwwār al-Jarmī, Basran, narrates from Mālik ibn al-Ḥuwairith, his son Qatādah ibn Suwwār, and Anīs ibn Suwwār al-Jarmī, and Abū Qilābah narrated from him." Thus he said in "Ṭabaqat al-Tābiʿīn". Then he included him in "Ṭabaqat Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn", saying (6/422):
