from the Musnad, and the ascetics do not preserve the ḥadīths as they should, but I hope there is no harm in it. I said: I fear that there might be an error in mentioning the phrase of protection in the ḥadīth, as it might have been mixed with another ḥadīth; for it is known and established in the ḥadīths: "Whoever performs the morning prayer is under the protection of Allāh..." etc., and it has been previously referenced under number (2890). And Maimūn himself did not mention it in his narration, as Ḥumayd said: Maimūn ibn Siyāh asked Anas ibn Mālik, saying: O Abū Ḥamzah! What makes the blood and wealth of a servant inviolable? He replied: Whoever testifies that there is no god but Allāh, faces our qiblah, performs our prayer, and eats our slaughtered animals; he is a Muslim, with the same rights and duties as a Muslim. It was recorded by al-Bukhārī (393). Perhaps Imām al-Nasāʾī alluded to the concern I mentioned by omitting the stated phrase. And Allāh knows best.

It is from the ḥadīth of Ibn Masʿūd, narrated from him by Shaqīq Abū Wāʾil, and there are multiple chains from him: the first being: al-Aʿmash narrated to us from Shaqīq with it; and he added: and I said (meaning: Ibn Masʿūd): Whoever dies not associating anything with Allāh will enter Paradise. It was recorded by al-Bukhārī (1238, 4497, 6683), Muslim (1/65), al-Nasāʾī in "al-Kubrā" (6/294/11011), Ibn Khuzaymah in "al-Tawḥīd" (p. 233), and Aḥmad (1/462, 464) through the chains from al-Aʿmash with it
