“al-Muhalla” (vol. 8, p. 33) on the authority of Sufyan al-Thawri from al-A‘mash from Ibrahim al-Nakh‘i from Ibn Mas‘ud. It is also narrated by al-Laqai in Sharh Usool I‘tiqad Ahl al-Sunnah (vol. 2, p. 232) via the chain Sufyan → al-A‘mash → ‘Abd Allah ibn Murrah → Abu Kanaf (he said: ‘Abd Allah said…’ in similar wording). Shaykh al-Islam authenticated it in al-Tis‘iniyyah (vol. 1, p. 292). 1. It is recorded by ‘Abd al-Razzaq in his al-Musannaf (vol. 8, p. 472) and by al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan al-Kubra (vol. 10, p. 43), both via al-A‘mash from ‘Abd Allah ibn Murrah from Abu Kanaf from Ibn Mas‘ud (in similar wording). It is also found in al-Laqai’s Sharh Usool I‘tiqad Ahl al-Sunnah (vol. 2, pp. 231–232, no. 378) via Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Ruyani: “Abu al-Rubay‘ narrated to us; he said: Abu ‘Awana narrated from Abu Sinan from ‘Abd Allah ibn Abi al-Hadhil from Hanzalah ibn Khuwailid: ‘Abd Allah took me by the hand,’” again in similar wording. 2.
