I said: If you understand this, then he is known, and Ibn Khuzaymah's statement regarding the isnād of the previously mentioned ḥadīth, "I do not know him to be just nor criticized," does not harm him! Therefore, the ḥāfiẓ in "al-Taqrīb" said: "Truthful, from the third [category]." Likewise, it does not harm him what is mentioned in "al-Tahdhīb" that his narration from Subayʿah al-Aslamiyyah is mursal, after he explicitly stated in the ḥadīth that he heard from her; and this was affirmed by the ḥāfiẓ al-Dūlābī, as previously mentioned from "Tahdhīb al-Ḥāfiẓ," which is necessary from his aforementioned statement: "from the third [category]"; so take note. Yaḥyá ibn Abī Usayd; Ibn Abī Ḥātim said (4/2/129): "Egyptian, narrated from Abū Farās. ʿAmr ibn al-Ḥārith, Ḥaywah ibn Sharīḥ, and Ibn Lahīʿah narrated from him." Similarly, in "Tārīkh al-Bukhārī" (4/2/261/2925), except that he did not mention Ibn Lahīʿah. Ibn Ḥibbān included him in "al-Thiqāt" (9/251) with the narration of al-Layth ibn Saʿd and ʿAmr ibn al-Ḥārith; thus, four trustworthy narrators narrated from him, and a fifth can be added, who is (Nāfiʿ ibn Yazīd), the narrator of this ḥadīth from him. He has another ḥadīth from him with al-Ḥākim (1/544), but his shaykh in it is weak, and therefore I included it in "al-Ḍaʿīfah" (3200). Nāfiʿ ibn Yazīd and Saʿīd ibn Abī Maryam; both are trustworthy from the narrators of Muslim, well-known, so there is no need to prolong the discussion with their biographies
