2- As for the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAbbās, it is narrated by Simāk ibn Ḥarb from ʿIkrimah from Ibn ʿAbbās as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. It was recorded by Ibn Mājah (2339), al-Ṭaḥāwī (2/70), al-Bayhaqī (6/69 and 155), Ibn Abī Shaybah (3076), and Aḥmad (1/235, 303, 313, 317) through various chains, including: Sufyān al-Thawrī from Simāk with it. Aḥmad added in a narration from the route of Jābir from ʿIkrimah the word "al-mitāʾ," which is considered anomalous. 3- As for the ḥadīth of ʿUbādah ibn al-Ṣāmit, it is narrated by al-Bayhaqī (6/155) and ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad in "Zawāʾid" (5/326-327) through the route of Isḥāq ibn Yaḥyá ibn al-Walīd ibn ʿUbādah ibn al-Ṣāmit from him, who said: Among the judgments of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) is that he ruled regarding the open space between roads, when its people wish to build in it, that seven cubits should be left for the road. He said: Those roads were called (al-mitāʾ). I said: This isnād is broken and weak due to Isḥāq, as the ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Taqrīb": "He transmitted from ʿUbādah, and his condition is unknown." 4- As for the ḥadīth of Anas, it is narrated by ʿAbbād ibn al-Manṣūr al-Nājī from Ayyūb al-Sakhtiyānī from Abū Qilābah from him, who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) ruled regarding the road al-mitāʾ, which is approached from every place, that if its people seek permission for it, its width should be seven cubits
