disconnected.” Al-Mundhirī likewise signaled his rejection of that assessment when he said in al-Targhīb (3/77):

“…and he said, ‘Its chain of transmission is authentic.’ That is what he said.”

Al-Haythamī said in Majma al-Zawā’id (4/307):

“Al-Bazzār narrated it. Its chain includes Husayn ibn Qays, known as Hanash, who is weak, although Husayn ibn Numayr declared him trustworthy. The remaining narrators are trustworthy.”

I say: Abū Yalā also narrated it by the same route in his Musnad (fol. 130/2).

247 – (A hadith states: “A believing man should not detest—that is, hate—a believing woman. If he is displeased with one of her character traits, he will be pleased with another.” Muslim.) p. 197

“This chain of transmission is authentic; its narrators are trustworthy.”

I say: However, concerning Ubayda—with an initial u—Ibn Hibbān said in al-Thiqāt: “His hadith may be taken into consideration when he explicitly states having heard it, provided that the transmitters above and below him are trustworthy.” I say: He did not explicitly state having heard it either in Ibn Hibbān’s version or
