the third aspect - It was narrated by the ḥāfiẓ Ibn ʿAsākir in "Tārīkh Dimashq" (19/155) through the chain of al-Haytham ibn Kulayb al-Shāshī: narrated to us ʿĪsá ibn Aḥmad al-ʿAsqalānī: narrated to us Bishr ibn Bakr with a longer version than the narration of (Duḥaym), and it is worth mentioning that it includes the term (musical instruments). What I said about the man's stance on the narration of al-Ismāʿīlī and his ignoring it, even denying what it contains: I can say the same about his stance on this one in terms of his knowledge of it and his concealing it, as I indicated earlier. Yes; it can be said: it is possible that he did not have the opportunity to refer back to it because it is in an unpublished source. So I say: this is possible, although I find it unlikely, and even if we concede this, it does not permit him to deny what he does not fully know. The discussion on this correction has become much longer than I intended and imagined, and it has taken a lot of my time, which is due to the misfortune of those who "became raisins before they ripened," especially this one who distinguished himself among them by weakening authentic ḥadīths, criticizing their narrators, and fabricating defects for them, in opposition to the imams of ḥadīth and its preservers, without regard for kinship or covenant, but I remember the saying of Allāh ﵎: "And perhaps you dislike a thing and it is good for you" (Sūrah al-Baqarah, 2:216), seeking reward from Allāh ﵎ in this. Perhaps it is beneficial to summarize for the esteemed readers the violations he committed; as a reminder for him, and a lesson for anyone who wishes to take heed: 1- He opposed in his weakening of this authentic ḥadīth more than ten of the ḥāfiẓs
