(1) 7/110, “Virtues of the Ansar,” chapter on the hadith of Zayd ibn Amr ibn Nufayl. Al-Hafiz remarks: “We have also transmitted this hadith with a continuous chain in the collection of Zughbah, related by Abu Bakr ibn Abi Dawud from Isa ibn Hammad—known as Zughbah—from al-Layth.” (2) Wijada (with a short i) occurs when someone discovers hadiths or a book written in the hand of their transmitter. He may cite them, saying by way of narration: “I read in the handwriting (or in the book) of so-and-so: ‘So-and-so related to us…,’” and then give the isnad and the text. He may also say: “So-and-so said,” provided this does not create the false impression of direct hearing. He may not say: “He related to us” or “He informed us,” which imply an uninterrupted chain. Imam al-Shafi‘i reportedly allowed acting on such material, and this is the sounder view. Ibn Kathir states in al-Baith al-Hathith, 142: “Wijada is not a formal mode of transmission; it is merely reporting what one has found in a book.” Ibn al-Salah adds that some meticulous Shafi‘i scholars permit its use when the text is deemed trustworthy.
