suspicion; indeed, this ḥadith is transmitted only by Hishām ibn ʿAmmār, from Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm al-Qurashī, from Abū Ṣāliḥ, from ʿIkrimah, from Ibn ʿAbbās. Now this Muḥammad is not trustworthy, and his shaykh is wholly unknown.
Abū al-Maʿālī al-Abarqūhī informed us; al-Faṭḥ ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Kātib informed us; Hibat Allāh ibn Abī Sharīk informed us; Abū al-Ḥusayn ibn al-Naqqūr informed us; ʿĪsā ibn ʿAlī al-Wazīr narrated to us. It was read before Abū Bakr ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sulaymān—while I was listening—and the following was said to him:
“ʿAmr ibn ʿUthmān has narrated to you; al-Walīd narrated to us, from al-Awzāʿī, from Yaḥyā, from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurayrah, who said:
‘During the Farewell Pilgrimage the Messenger of Allah ﷺ slaughtered a cow on behalf of those of his wives who had performed ʿumrah with him, distributing it among them.’ (1)”
Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd, Aḥmad ibn Muʾmin, Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad the ḥāfiẓ, Aḥmad ibn Yūsuf al-Bustī, Sunqur al-Zaynī, ʿAbd al-Munʿim ibn Zayn al-Umamāʾ, ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad the jurist, and others said:
ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar informed us; Saʿīd ibn Aḥmad ibn al-Bannāʾ related to us in person during the fourth session (ḥ).
I read to Aḥmad ibn Isḥāq; Akmal ibn Abī al-Azhar al-ʿAlawī informed you; Ibn al-Bannāʾ informed us; Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad az-Zaynabī informed us; Muḥammad ibn ʿUmar al-Warrāq informed us; Abū Bakr ibn Abī Dāwūd narrated to us; Muḥammad ibn Wazīr narrated to us; al-Walīd narrated to us; ʿUmar ibn Muḥammad narrated to us, from Nāfiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar:
that the Prophet ﷺ said, “On the Day of Resurrection death will be brought in the form of a speckled ram; it will be slaughtered between Paradise and Hell, and then it will be proclaimed: O people of Paradise!”
