(1) This hadith is fabricated. Ibn al-Jawzi recorded it in al-Mawdu‘at (1/117), stating: “This hadith is fabricated concerning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” It is attributed to ‘Abd al-Mun‘im, whom Ahmad and Yahya [Ibn Ma‘in] rejected; al-Daraqutni said: “Both it and Abu Mutrukan.” I remark: ‘Abd al-Mun‘im is Ibn Idris al-Yamani; his status was explained above in the commentary on hadith no. 20, to which the reader is referred. Those who transmitted this hadith include Abu al-Shaykh in al-‘Azamah (2/760–61) and Abu Nu‘aym in al-Hilya (4/80). Al-Haythami included it in Majma‘ al-Zawa’id (2/79–80), noting: “Al-Tabarani narrated it in al-Awsat; it includes ‘Abd al-Mun‘im ibn Idris, whom Ahmad rejected, and Ibn Hibban said he fabricated hadith.” In the isnad of this hadith according to Ibn al-Jawzi and Abu Nu‘aym in al-Hilya it appears “[from his father from his grandfather]”; here “Abu” is Idris ibn Sinan (Abu al-‘Abbas al-San‘ani), the son of the daughter of Wahb ibn Munabbih, about whom criticisms have been made. His status was also discussed above in the analysis of the previously mentioned hadith regarding his son. (2) What appears in parentheses is found in the original of the preceding hadith, where the text reads: “Ishaq said, and Ibn Jurayj informed us …” It may be that the author limited himself to this because the isnad matches up to Ishaq, as will be seen in hadith no. 46, which precedes it in the original, where that arrangement is unique, while other manuscripts agree otherwise; or it may be an abbreviation by some copyists. Hence, he retained what is in parentheses as found in other copies. (3) Absent from the other manuscripts. (4) In manuscript M: “They said, ‘O Muhammad’” without mentioning Gabriel, and with the plural verb “they said.”
