(1) In manuscript M: “al-Risi”; in manuscripts H and R: “al-Barsi,” which is incorrect. The correct reading is al-Narsi, a nisba from Nars, a river near Kufa along which several villages lie. Several renowned scholars and hadith transmitters bear this nisba, including Abu al-Ghanayim Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Maymun al-Narsi, who is intended here. See al-Lubab 3:306. (2) In manuscripts H and R: “al-Arjani,” and in M: “al-Abdjali,” all of which are incorrect. The nisba al-Ghandjani refers to Ghandjan, a city in the Ahvaz region. See al-Lubab 2:390. (3) This report does not appear in the original; it has been inserted here in full from other copies. Al-Dhahabi included it in al-‘Uluw, p. 62, attributing it to the author of this work and declaring it a sahih hadith. Al-Bukhari transmitted it in his Tarikh as a muallaq report. Al-Darimi recorded it in al-Radd ‘ala al-Jahmiyyah, pp. 20–21, with similar wording. The original account is in al-Bukhari’s al-Jana’iz, chapter “Entering upon the deceased after death when wrapped in his shroud,” hadiths 1241 and 1242 (3:113), and in his Fada’il al-Sahaba, hadith 3668 (8:145), all on the authority of ‘A’isha and Ibn ‘Abbas. It is also transmitted by Abu Nu’aim in al-Hilya from Ibn ‘Abbas (1:29), and by Ibn Hisham in his Sira from Abu Huraira (4:446).
