I said: Despite the fact that this comment is unrelated to what it is attached to—because placing the stones was not a choice; unlike what this ignorant person attached, as is evident—this statement attributed to the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) has no basis! *

- (He used to say in his supplication: O Allāh! I seek refuge in You from a bad neighbor in the permanent abode; for the neighbor in the desert moves away). It was recorded by al-Bukhārī in "al-Adab al-Mufrad" (117), Ibn Ḥibbān (2056), al-Ṭabarānī in "al-Duʿāʾ" (3/1425/1340), and al-Bayhaqī in "al-Daʿawāt al-Kabīr" (2/62/296) through the route of al-Ḥākim, and this is in "al-Mustadrak" (1/532) through the route of Sulaymān ibn Ḥayyān Abū Khālid al-Aḥmar from Ibn ʿAjlān from Saʿīd ibn Abī Saʿīd from Abū Hurayrah: that the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) used to... the ḥadīth. In al-Bukhārī's narration in "al-Adab," "the world" appears in place of "the desert"! Al-Ḥākim said: "Authentic according to the conditions of Muslim!" and al-Dhahabī agreed with him! However, there is some scrutiny; because Muslim only included Ibn ʿAjlān as a follow-up, and al-Ḥāfiẓ said: "He confused the ḥadīths of Abū Hurayrah." Thus, the ḥadīth is only ḥasan or close to it; but it is authentic due to supporting evidence. Abū Khālid's narration of the ḥadīth was contradicted by Yaḥyá ibn Saʿīd; he said: Muḥammad ibn ʿAjlān narrated it to us; except that he said: "Seek refuge in Allāh from a bad neighbor in the permanent abode..." and the ḥadīth is similar
