and al-Dhahabī agreed with him. I say: His statement in the isnād "from his father" is an error, as al-Ḥāfiẓ clarified in "al-Tahdhīb," but he mentioned regarding the narrators from Yaʿlá: "Some of them narrated from him indirectly, like ʿAṭāʾ ibn al-Sāʾib and al-Minhāl ibn ʿAmr." He mentioned something similar in the biography of al-Minhāl, that he narrated indirectly from Yaʿlá ibn Murrah. Based on this, the isnād is disconnected. Aḥmad also recorded it (4/171, 172) through the route of Wakīʿ, who narrated to us from al-Aʿmash without the story of the camel, except that he did not say once "from his father." He also recorded it (4/170) through the route of ʿUthmān ibn Ḥakīm, who said: ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz informed me from Yaʿlá ibn Murrah, who said: "I have seen three things from the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) that no one before me has seen..." and he mentioned them. Al-Mundhirī said in "al-Targhīb" (3/158): "Its isnād is good." Thus he said, and this ʿAbd al-Raḥmān was mentioned by Ibn Abī Ḥātim in "al-Jarḥ wa-al-Taʿdīl," and he did not report any criticism or endorsement about him. Al-Ḥusaynī said: "He is not well-known." The rest of the narrators are trustworthy, the men of Muslim. ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ḥafṣ also followed him from Yaʿlá ibn Murrah al-Thaqafī with something similar. Aḥmad recorded it (4/173) through the route of ʿAṭāʾ ibn al-Sāʾib from him. ʿAṭāʾ had become confused, and ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ḥafṣ is unknown, as al-Ḥāfiẓ and others said
ووافقه الذهبي. قلت: وقوله في السند " عن أبيه " وهم كما صرح الحافظ في " التهذيب " لكنه قال في الرواة عن يعلى: " منهم من أرسل عنه كعطاء بن السائب والمنهال بن عمرو ". وذكر نحوه في ترجمة المنهال أنه أرسل عن يعلى بن مرة. وعلى هذا فالإسناد منقطع. وأخرجه أحمد (٤ / ١٧١، ١٧٢) من طريق وكيع حدثنا الأعمش به دون قصة الجمل إلا أنه لم يقل مرة عن أبيه. وأخرجه (٤ / ١٧٠) من طريق عثمان بن حكيم قال: أخبرني عبد الرحمن ابن عبد العزيز عن يعلى بن مرة قال: " لقد رأيت من رسول الله ﷺ ثلاثا ما رآها أحد قبلي ... ". فذكرها. وقال المنذري في " الترغيب " (٣ / ١٥٨) :" وإسناده جيد ". كذا قال، وعبد الرحمن هذا أورده ابن أبي حاتم في " الجرح والتعديل " ولم يحك فيه جرحا ولا تعديلا، وقال الحسيني: " ليس بالمشهور ". وبقية رجاله ثقات رجال مسلم. وقد تابعه عبد الله بن حفص عن يعلى بن مرة الثقفي به نحوه. أخرجه أحمد (٤ / ١٧٣) من طريق عطاء بن السائب عنه. وعطاء كان اختلط. وعبد الله بن حفص مجهول كما قال الحافظ وغيره.
