(1) Under entry no. 7. It is also recorded by Ibn Abi Shayba in his Musannaf (5:303–304, no. 26308) and by Abu ʿAwana in his Mustakhraj (4:438, no. 6924). Its chain is sound, although it has sometimes been transmitted as marfuʿ (attributed directly to the Prophet) – this is a mistake. Al-Bazzar noted that the trustworthy transmitters halted it (mawqūf), and al-Dāraqutnī stated that the mawqūf version is the more reliable. See al-Baḥr al-Zakhkhār (3:346, no. 1146) and ʿIlal al-Dāraqutnī (4:327–328). Note: Ms. Z omits the words “kāna Saʿd” (“Saʿd used to …”) and reads taʿallam (“learn!”) instead of taʿallamū (“learn, all of you!”). (2) Reported by al-Ṭabarānī (no. 6); Aḥmad in the Musnad (1:28, abridged, and p. 46 with the same wording); al-Tirmidhī (no. 2103, abridged); Ibn Mājah (no. 2737, abridged); Ibn al-Jārūd (no. 964); Ibn Ḥibbān (13: no. 6037); al-Bazzār (1: no. 253, abridged); and others. I note that the isnād includes ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Ḥārith ibn ʿAyyāsh, who has been criticised, as well as Ḥakīm ibn Ḥakīm, of whom Ibn Saʿd said: “His ḥadīth is not used as proof.” See Tahdhīb al-Kamāl (7:193; 17:37–39). Even so, the ḥadīth was graded ṣaḥīḥ by al-Tirmidhī, Ibn al-Jārūd, Ibn Ḥibbān, and al-Ḍiyāʾ in al-Mukhtāra, and al-Bazzār said: “It is the best isnād transmitted on this topic … .” Ibn Maʿīn remarked: “There is no strong ḥadīth concerning the khāl (maternal uncle).” (3) Ms. Z has the wording “from Abū Umāmah that Sahl ibn Ḥunayf …,” which is incorrect; the correct wording is as given by al-Ṭabarānī and the other referenced sources.
