(1) In other manuscripts: “a‘adda” (he prepared). (2) In (r) and (h): “kathīb” (sand dune). (3) Absent from the original. (4) In other manuscripts: “wayajlisu” (and he sits). (5) In (r) and (h): “al-kathīb” (the sand dune). (6) In other manuscripts: “ṣadaqtum” (you spoke the truth). (7) In (h) and (r): “fa-as’ulūnī” (so ask me). (8) Not found in the other manuscripts; it appears in al-Shāfi‘ī’s Musnad. (9) Al-Shāfi‘ī records this hadith in his Musnad (no. 374, 1:126), and al-Dhahabī in al-Uluww (p. 30), noting that both Ibrāhīm and Mūsā are weak narrators. In al-Mīzān, al-Dhahabī lists Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad ibn Abī Yaḥyā al-Aslamī among the weak. Yaḥyā ibn Ma‘īn calls him a liar; Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal reports that people abandoned his hadith, describing him as a Qadari and Mu‘tazilī who narrated reports without any basis. Al-Bukhārī states that Ibn al-Mubārak and others rejected him for his belief in qadar and his Jahmī views; Ibn Ma‘īn likewise labels him a “liar Rāfiḍī.” See al-Mīzān 1:57–58; al-Taḥdhīb 1:158. As for Mūsā ibn ‘Ubayda (Ibn Nashīṭ al-Zubaydī), Ibn Ḥanbal deems him a denier of ḥadīth; al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar and others call him weak; Ibn Ma‘īn considers him worthless. See al-Du‘afā’ al-Ṣaghīr (al-Bukhārī), p. 221; al-Taqrīb 2:282; Mīzān al-I‘tidāl 4:213. This hadith is also transmitted by al-Dāramī in al-Radd ‘alā al-Jahmiyya (p. 38) via another chain; by the same chain by Ibn Abī Zamanayn al-Malikī in Usūl I‘tiqād Ahl al-Sunnah (no. 36, 1:299); by Muḥammad ibn ‘Uthmān ibn Abī Shayba in Kitāb al-‘Arsh (p. 95); and by Ibn Abī Shayba in his Musannaf (2:150). It is weak, having been criticized by Ibn Ma‘īn, al-Daraqutnī, Aḥmad, and al-Nasa’ī. See the margin of Kitāb al-‘Arsh p. 95.
