and in Tahdhib al-Kamal (6/47). Ibn ʿAdi, al-Busayri and others declared the report weak; see al-Silsila al-Daʿifa 9/480. * Al-Awzaʿi also transmitted the hadith, mursal, from Saʿid b. Jubala, from Tawus. It is recorded by Ibn al-Mubarak, Kitab al-Jihad, no. 105; Ibn Abi Shayba, 4/222, no. 19430; and others. A wording is likewise related from al-Awzaʿi through Hassan → Abu al-Munib → Ibn ʿUmar, but that is a mistake and cannot be soundly traced back to al-Awzaʿi; his reliable version is the previous mursal transmission from Tawus. The hadith has also been reported from Anas—an outright fabrication; from Abu Hurayra—baseless; and from Hudhayfa—defective because it is mawquf, with the wording: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them”; as well as through other chains. A number of scholars nevertheless judged the report authentic, among them Ibn Taymiyya, al-ʿIraqi, and Ibn Hajar. See Fath al-Bari 6/98; al-Irwaʾ 5/109–111; Dhamm al-Kalam 2/392–394 (editor’s notes). (1) It is likewise found in Ahmad, no. 2810; al-Tayalisi, Musnad 1/no. 149; Ibn ʿAdi, al-Kamil 4/173; and elsewhere in an expanded wording that adds a passage on the merit of turbans. The chain runs: Ashʿath b. Saʿid (Abu al-Rabiʿ al-Samman) and ʿAbd al-Salam b. Hashim → ʿAbd Allah b. Busr al-Saksaki → Abu Rashid → ʿAli. This version is extremely weak: Abu al-Rabiʿ al-Samman is very weak; ʿAbd al-Salam b. Hashim is a liar; ʿAbd Allah b. Busr al-Saksaki is weak. Ibn ʿAdi even listed the report among the rejected narrations of ʿAbd Allah b. Busr. See Tahdhib al-Kamal 3/261–264; 14/335–336; and al-Jarh
