he prohibited intercourse with women in their anuses. It was recorded by al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Awsaṭ" (8/351/7718) with a good chain of narration. Among them: from Abū Hurayrah who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: ... and he mentioned it. It was recorded by al-Nasāʾī in "al-Kubrā" (5/322/9010) and Ibn ʿAsākir in "Tārīkh Dimashq" (1/190-191) through the route of ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Muḥammad al-Ṣanʿānī: narrated by Saʿīd ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz from al-Zuhrī from Abū Salamah from him. This isnād is weak; al-Ṣanʿānī is lenient in ḥadīth; as mentioned in "al-Taqrīb"; such a person is used for supporting evidence, and those above him are trustworthy.

And he said: "No one narrated it from Layth except ʿAbd al-Wārith, and ʿUmar ibn Yazīd was alone in narrating it." I say: he is truthful, and those above him are trustworthy; except Layth; he is Ibn Abī Sulaym al-Ḥimṣī as can be inferred from his biography in "Tahdhīb al-Ḥāfiẓ al-Mizzī", where it is mentioned among those who narrated from him is this ʿAbd al-Wārith - who is Ibn Saʿīd al-Tanūrī
