and are we held accountable for what our tongues speak? He said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) struck the thigh of Muʿādh and then said: and he mentioned it. Al-Ḥākim said: "Authentic according to the criteria of al-Shaykhayn." Al-Dhahabī agreed with him. I say: No, rather it is only authentic, for al-Rabīʿ ibn Sulaymān and ʿAmr ibn Mālik al-Janabī were not included by al-Shaykhayn, but al-Bukhārī included al-Janabī in "al-Adab al-Mufrad" and also included Abū Hāniʾ, whose name is Ḥumayd ibn Hāniʾ, and he is only among the men of Muslim. Al-Haythamī mentioned the ḥadīth (10/299) in full and said: "It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī and its men are the men of authenticity except for ʿAmr ibn Mālik al-Janabī, who is trustworthy."

- "When you see Allāh giving a servant from the world what he loves despite his sins, it is only a gradual enticement. Then he recited: * 'But when they forgot what they had been reminded of, We opened to them the gates of everything, until when they rejoiced in what they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were then in despair' *" (Sūrah al-Anʿām, verse 44). It was narrated by Aḥmad (4/145) from Rushdīn ibn Saʿd and by Ibn Jarīr in "al-Tafsīr" (7/115) from Abū al-Ṣalt and by al-Dūlābī in "al-Kuná" (1/111) from Ḥajjāj ibn Sulaymān al-Ruʿaynī, all three from Ḥarmalah ibn ʿImrān al-Tujībī from ʿUqbah ibn Muslim from ʿUqbah ibn ʿĀmir in a marfūʿ form
