I say: His ḥadiths are found in all the major Ṣaḥīḥ collections and compendia, and he is on a par with Wakīʿ.
Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān informed us; ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad the jurist informed us; Hibat Allāh ibn Hilāl informed us; ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAlī informed us; Abū al-Ḥusayn ibn Bishrān informed us; Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr informed us; ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Shākir narrated to us; Abū Usāmah narrated to us; al-Aʿmash narrated to us, from Khaythamah ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, from ʿAdī ibn Ḥātim, who said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “There is none among you but that his Lord will speak to him, with no veil between him and Him and no interpreter. He will then look to his right and see nothing but the Fire. So guard yourselves against the Fire, even if only with half a date.”
Agreed upon (2); it has reached us in this abridged form.
