"it is not in Shuʿbah's ḥadīth: (at his sleep)." I said: Sufyān is more reliable than Shuʿbah, especially since the addition by a trustworthy narrator is accepted, so how can it be when Misʿar also elevated it?! Then I saw that al-Aʿmash narrated it from Ḥabīb as a mawqūf report; with Ibn Abī Shaybah (9/73-74 and 10/250), so the ruling is for the addition; especially since it is not said merely by opinion as is apparent, and the chain is authentic, its men are trustworthy, the men of Muslim; except that Ḥabīb ibn Abī Thābit used to practice tadlīs, as Ibn Ḥibbān himself said following his teacher Ibn Khuzaymah. However, I have previously explained what suggests that his tadlīs is minimal, and that scholars accept his ḥadīth unless a significant defect is found, and for this reason, Ibn Ḥibbān included muʿanʿan ḥadīths from him in his "Ṣaḥīḥ," and this is among them, so refer to the ḥadīth before it. Moreover, in this case, there is something that reassures us about his tadlīs, which is Shuʿbah's narration from him with al-Nasāʾī as mentioned earlier; for it is known about him that he was keen not to narrate from those known for tadlīs unless they explicitly stated hearing, as in "Taqaddimat al-Jarḥ wa-al-Taʿdīl" (161 and 169). "And Shuʿbah said: I used to scrutinize the mouth of Qatādah, so if he said: 'I heard' or 'He narrated to us'; I would memorize it, and if he said: 'So-and-so narrated'; I would leave it," and see (2/35) from it; you will gain more certainty. (Note): There is a contradiction in this ḥadīth commented on in "al-Iḥsān" (12/338), as it was criticized due to the muʿanʿan narration of (Ḥabīb), but in his verification of the book "Mawārid al-Ẓamʾān" (2/1066), he said: it is "ḥasan"! And he did not clarify the reason for this after that criticism and with reference to it!! And the three commentators followed him in declaring it ḥasan without clarification as well? as is their habit! As for the commentators on the Syrian edition of "al-Mawārid"; they followed the standard, so they weakened its isnād due to the defect of muʿanʿan narration!
