saʿīd ibn Abī Ayyūb differed with him regarding its elevation, saying: Ibn Hāniʾ narrated to me: Shafī narrated to me from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) ... his statement with this. It was narrated by Abū Yaʿlá in "al-Musnad al-Kabīr," and al-Ḥārith as in "al-Maṭālib al-ʿĀliyah al-Musnadah" (p. 101/2). Saʿīd ibn Abī Ayyūb is a reliable and firm narrator; as the ḥāfiẓ said, he is more reliable than Ibn Lahīʿah and Khālid ibn Ḥumayd. If this is not preserved in his isnād by mentioning Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān in it, then mentioning Shafī in his place is more accurate; due to the known reliability of Saʿīd ibn Abī Ayyūb, especially since he was followed by Ibn Lahīʿah. As for Saʿīd stopping it; it does not harm because it is considered marfūʿ, as is not hidden, and it is among the signs of his truthfulness and prophethood (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam); for what is in it of the unseen has been realized in this time. And Allāh is the one whose help is sought. (Note) This ḥadīth appeared in "Kanz al-ʿUmmāl" (6322) from the narration of al-Ṭabarānī from Ibn ʿUmar. The correct [narration] is (Ibn ʿAmr) as previously mentioned.

- (Indeed, among what you mention of the majesty of Allāh: tasbīḥ, tahlīl, and taḥmīd, they encircle the Throne, having a buzzing sound like that of bees, reminding of their owner. Does not one of you love to have - or to always have - something that reminds of him). It was recorded by Ibn Mājah (3809), Aḥmad (4/271), al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Duʿāʾ" (3/1566/1693), Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ḥilyah" (4/269), and al-Bayhaqī in "al-Asmāʾ wa-al-Ṣifāt" (p. 137) through the route of Yaḥyá ibn Saʿīd from Mūsá ibn Abī ʿĪsá al-Ṭaḥḥān from ʿAwn ibn ʿAbd Allāh from his father - or from his brother - from al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: ... and he mentioned it, and the wording is that of Ibn Mājah
