(1) He is Abu ‘Abdallah Ismāʾīl ibn Abī ʿUways ʿAbdallāh ibn ʿAbdallāh ibn ʿUways al-ʿAsbahī al-Madānī, a hadīth scholar of Medina. Al-Bukhārī and Muslim, among others, transmitted from him. Imām Aḥmad said of him: “No objection.” He was born in 139 AH and died in 226 AH. See: Jarḥ wa al-Taʿdīl (Ibn Abī Ḥātim), vol. 1(1):180–181, no. 613; Tadhkirat al-Ḥuffāẓ (al-Dhahabī), vol. 1:409–410; Tahdhīb al-Tahdhīb (Ibn Ḥajar), vol. 1:310–312. (2) In some manuscripts it reads “Anas ibn Mālik,” which is erroneous. (3) Sharḥ Usūl Iʿtiqād Ahl al-Sunnah wa-l-Jamāʿah, vol. 2:249. Cf. al-Sunnah (ʿAbdallāh ibn Aḥmad), pp. 24–25. (4) In some manuscripts and editions it reads “ʿAbdallāh,” which is erroneous. (5) He is Abū Saʿīd Muḥammad ibn Yazīd al-Wāsiṭī al-Kalāʿī. Ibn Maʿīn and others classified him as reliable; Abū Ḥātim judged his ḥadīth sound. He died in 190 AH. See: Jarḥ wa al-Taʿdīl (Ibn Abī Ḥātim), vol. 4(1):126, no. 568; Siyar Aʿlām al-Nubalāʾ (al-Dhahabī), vol. 9:302–303; Tahdhīb al-Tahdhīb (Ibn Ḥajar), vol. 9:527–528. (6) All extant copies read “al-Maʿmarī.” The correct reading is established in Sharḥ Usūl Iʿtiqād Ahl al-Sunnah; al-Sunnah (ʿAbdallāh ibn Aḥmad), p. 25; and al-Sharīʿah (al-Ājurrī), p. 179. Al-Dhahabī comments in Lisān al-Mīzān, vol. 4:506: “Abū Bakr al-ʿAmrī is unknown.” Al-Albānī notes in Mukhtaṣar al-ʿUluww li-l-Dhahabī, p. 143, no. 114: “It was narrated by ʿAbdallāh in al-Sunnah, and its narrators are reliable—except Abū Bakr Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-ʿAmrī, whom I do not recognize.”
