and I used to think that the correct version was (fanfah) with the undotted ḥāʾ, as in the Qāmūs: "nafaḥ al-ṭīb kamanaʿ fāḥ..." until I saw in "al-Nihāyah" under the entry "nafakh": "... from nafakhat al-rīḥ if it came suddenly" so I thought it was correct. And Allāh knows best.

"It is not appropriate to punish with fire except the Lord of the fire." It was narrated by Abū Dāwūd (2675): Abū Ṣāliḥ Maḥbūb ibn Mūsá told us, Abū Isḥāq al-Fazārī informed us from Abū Isḥāq al-Shaybānī from Ibn Saʿd - others than Abū Ṣāliḥ said from al-Ḥasan ibn Saʿd from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAbd Allāh from his father who said: "We were with the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) on a journey, and he went off for his need. We saw a red bird with two chicks, and we took its chicks. The bird came and began to flutter. The Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) came and said: Who has distressed this by taking its child? Return its child to it. And he saw a village of ants that we had burned, and he said: Who burned this? We said: We did. He said," and he mentioned it. I said: And this isnād is authentic; all its men are trustworthy, the men of the two Shaykhs except Maḥbūb ibn Mūsá, and he is trustworthy. And ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAbd Allāh, who is Ibn Masʿūd, has heard from his father according to the most likely opinion with us, as previously explained in ḥadīth (197). And al-Masʿūdī followed him from al-Ḥasan ibn Saʿd with it, without the story of the ants. It was narrated by Aḥmad (1/404)
