(1) It originally read “bin Zayd,” which is incorrect. See his biography in al-Khaṭīb al-Baghdadī’s Tarikḥ Baghdad, vol. 11, p. 394. (2) Al-Ṭirmidhī records it in his Book of Supplications via al-Ḥusayn ibn ‘Ali ibn Yazīd from al-Walīd ibn al-Qāsim, and classifies it as hasan gharīb (good but rare), Ḥadīth no. 3590 (5:575). Al-Dhahabī includes it in al-‘Uluww (p. 36), calling it “strange.” Al-Albānī cites it in Silsilah al-Ahādīth al-Ḍa‘īfah (Ḥ919; 2:320), labeling it munkar (rejected), and notes its transmission by Ibn Bishrān in al-Amālī (1:70; 2:108) and by al-Khaṭīb al-Baghdādī in Tarikḥ Baghdad (11:394). He reports no criticism or praise of the narrator ‘Ali ibn al-Ḥusayn ibn Yazīd al-Ṣadā’ī (d. 286 AH), who was also transmitted on by Abū Bakr al-Shāfi‘ī and Abū ‘Alī Aḥmad ibn al-Faḍl ibn Khuzaymah. Al-Albānī further argues that, given this narrator’s deviation from Ṭirmidhī’s own wording—though he has few chains—the narrator must be weak; hence he adopts Ṭirmidhī’s version in his Sahīḥ al-Ahādīth wa’l-Mishkāt (no. 2314). (3) Other manuscripts read “al-Hawlī.” (4) Other manuscripts read “Abū al-Qāsim,” which is incorrect.
