I said: This is a good isnād based on the detailed explanation previously provided regarding (Darrāj) in the preceding ḥadīth. Rather, it is a ṣaḥīḥ ḥadīth; for it has another chain and a supporting narration that increase its strength. As for the chain; it is narrated by ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ziyād from ʿUmārah ibn Rāshid from Abū Hurayrah who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) was asked: Will the people of Paradise engage with their spouses? He said: "Yes, with an organ that does not tire, and a desire that does not cease." It was recorded by al-Bazzār (4/197/3524 - Kashf), and also by Abū Nuʿaym, number (366), and Ibn ʿAsākir in "al-Tārīkh" (21/582-583 - al-Muṣawwarah). Al-Bazzār said: "ʿUmārah; we do not know anyone who narrated from him except ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ziyād, and ʿAbd al-Raḥmān was of sound mind, but he encountered unknown shaykhs, and narrated from them strange ḥadīths, which weakened his ḥadīth, and this is one of the things criticized about him and no one else shared in it." I said: This means two things: one of them is that ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ziyād—who is al-Ifriqī—is truthful in himself, and that the weakness of his ḥadīths is due to his unknown shaykhs. Al-Ḥāfiẓ mentioned something similar about him from Abū Ḥātim and Abū Zurʿah, so see "al-Tahdhīb," and it is narrated therein his reliability by a group, and by others his weakness. What appears from the sum of their statements is that he is truthful in himself, as al-Bazzār indicated, but he is weak in his memory despite his righteousness, and al-Ḥāfiẓ summarized—most excellently—their differences about him, saying in "al-Taqrīb": "Weak in his memory, and he was a righteous man."
