and Aḥmad (1/242 and 345), and al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr" (12/152/12736) through various chains, including: Wakīʿ from Sufyān from Salamah ibn Kuhayl from ʿImrān ibn al-Ḥakam (and in another narration: Abū al-Ḥakam) al-Sulamī from Ibn ʿAbbās who said: ... and he mentioned it. al-Ḥākim said: "Authentic and preserved from the ḥadīth of al-Thawrī from Salamah ibn Kuhayl." And it is as he said, and its narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of the two Shaykhs [al-Bukhārī and Muslim]; except for ʿImrān Abū al-Ḥakam al-Sulamī—who is the correct one of the two narrations—; he is among the narrators of Muslim, and it seems al-Ḥākim overlooked this; for in the second place he sufficed by saying: "Authentic isnād"! and al-Dhahabī agreed with him! The correct view is that it is authentic according to the criteria of Muslim. al-Mundhirī indicated this by saying in "al-Targhīb" (4/75/12): "Narrated by al-Ṭabarānī, and its narrators are the narrators of (the authentic collections)." And likewise, said al-Haythamī in "al-Majmaʿ" (10/196). They both overlooked attributing it to Aḥmad—let alone al-Ḥākim—and this is according to the criteria of al-Mundhirī, not al-Haythamī, as is not hidden from those familiar with their books and methodologies therein. The ḥadīth was also narrated by al-Bazzār in "Musnad" (3/55/2224 - Kashf al-Astār) who said: Abū Hishām Muḥammad ibn Yazīd al-Rifāʿī narrated to us: Wakīʿ narrated to us: Sufyān narrated to us ... with the aforementioned isnād; but with the wording: The people of Mecca asked the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) to make al-Ṣafā gold for them, and to move the mountains away from them so they could cultivate, and it was said: If you wish, we will grant them what they asked for; but if they disbelieve, they will be destroyed as those before them were destroyed
