he is truthful but makes mistakes, so with the combination of these corroborations, it is firmly established from Shuʿbah. There is another path for the ḥadīth, which was produced by al-Ḥusayn al-Marwazī in "Zawāʾid al-Zuhd li-Ibn al-Mubārak" (p. 123/1 - Kawākib 575) with a sound chain from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Buraydah who said: "It was mentioned to me that Abū Sabrah ibn Salamah heard... ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr..." and he mentioned it as marfūʿ with a story included. In summary, the ḥadīth through these paths is ḥasan or ṣaḥīḥ. And Allāh knows best.

"Gabriel came to me (peace be upon him) and said: I came to you last night, but nothing prevented me from entering the house you were in except that there was a statue of a man in the house, and there was a curtain with images on it. So, command that the head of the statue be cut off so it becomes like the shape of a tree, and command that the curtain be cut. In another narration: There is a curtain on the wall with images, so cut off their heads and make them a carpet or cushions to tread upon, for we do not enter a house with images. Make from it two cushions to be trodden upon, and command that the dog be taken out. So the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) did so, and the dog was a puppy belonging to al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhumā) under their bench. He said: And he continued to advise me about the neighbor until I thought or saw that he would inherit him." It was produced by Aḥmad (2/305, 478) with this context, and by Abū Dāwūd (4158), al-Tirmidhī (2/132), and Ibn Ḥibbān in "Ṣaḥīḥ" (1487) through the path of Yūnus ibn Abī Isḥāq from
