—with essentially the same wording and meaning. It is also cited by Ibn Abi Shaybah, al-Musannaf 2:377 (no. 10098). The mistake most likely comes from the transmitter who narrated on the authority of Hajjaj ibn Dinar, namely Ismail ibn Zakariyya—Allah knows best. Abu Dawud, al-Darqutni, and al-Bayhaqi all judged the mursal chain to be stronger; see ʿIlal al-Darqutni 3:187-189 and al-Bayhaqi, al-Sunan 4:111. (1) See Ibn Qudamah, al-Mughni 4:82. (2) Recorded by Ahmad, Musnad 6:291 (no. 26492); al-Tahawi, Sharh Maʿani al-Athar 2:221 and Sharh Mushkil al-Athar 9 (no. 3519); al-Bayhaqi, al-Sunan al-Kubra 5:133; and others, through Abu Muʿawiyah → Hisham ibn ʿUrwah → his father → Zaynab → Umm Salamah. Abu Muʿawiyah erred in both chain and text. Regarding the chain, the correct version is mursal: al-Thawri and Wakiʿ narrated it from Hisham, from his father, directly from the Prophet, without naming a Companion. As for the text, its wording is unstable; some report it as “tuwafi,” others as “tuwafihi.” Imam Ahmad, al-Darqutni, and others preferred the mursal version.
