He replied, “Yes.”

The Prophet asked, “Who?”
He answered, “That man who is standing.”
The Prophet said, “In what state did he give it to you?”
He replied, “While he was bowing.” (That man was ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib.)
At that, the Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—pronounced “Allāhu akbar” and recited:

“Whoever takes Allah, His Messenger, and the believers as allies—then, indeed, the party of Allah will be victorious” (Qur’an 5:56).

Some works state that he instead recited the preceding verse:

“Your guardian is only Allah, His Messenger, and the believers—those who establish prayer and give alms while bowing” (Qur’an 5:55).

“This isnād gives no cause for joy: al-Kalbī is discarded.”
He then added: “Ibn Mardawayh also narrated it from ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib himself, from ʿAmmār ibn Yāsir, and from Abū Rāfiʿ, but none of these versions is sound in the least, owing to the weakness of their chains and the obscurity of their transmitters.”

For his part, al-Suyūṭī said in the epistle just cited:

“These are multiple routes for the revelation of this noble verse concerning giving charity to the beggar in the mosque; each route supports the other.”

I do not think this is correct, for the rule that numerous chains strengthen a ḥadith is not unrestricted, as the manuals of ḥadith methodology make clear; it applies only when
