(1) This heading does not appear in the original. (2) This is how it appears in the original and in (H); in (M) and (R) it also appears as “Abu al-Fadl Khuzaymah” without “ibn.” In the isnad of al-Dhahabi’s al-Siyar 2/180 it agrees with the original. He is likely Abu ‘Ali (Ahmad ibn al-Fadl ibn al-‘Abbas ibn Khuzaymah al-Baghdadi), as noted by al-Dhahabi in al-Siyar 15/515 and in Tarikh Baghdad 4/347–348. This name was previously mentioned in hadith no. (34). (3) In (M): “al-‘Awārim,” which is an error. (4) In the original and in (M) it reads al-Kharraz; in (H) and (R) it appears without the dot. The correct reading is the one we have adopted, as in al-Siyar and in al-Tahdhib 6/98 and al-Taqrib 1/465. (5) It refers to her exoneration regarding the hadith of al-ifk (the slander) at the beginning of Sūra al-Nūr. See no. (65). (6) It is narrated by Abu Nu‘aym in al-Hilya 2/44; by Ibn Kathir in al-Bidaya wa’l-Nihāya 8/92; by al-Dhahabi in al-Siyar 2/180; in al-‘Uluww, p. 92; by Ibn al-Qayyim in Ijtimā‘ al-Juyūsh al-Islāmiyya, p. 72; and by Abu al-Sheikh in al-Ghazma. Al-Albani mentions it in Mukhtaṣar al-‘Uluww, p. 129. Al-Dhahabi and Ibn al-Qayyim agreed on its authenticity, although the chain includes ‘Abd al-Musannif Abu Mas‘ūd al-Jarrār (i.e. ‘Abd al-A‘lā ibn Abī al-Masāwir al-Zuhrī, their freedman), whom al-Hāfiẓ judged matrūk (abandoned/weak) and Ibn Mu‘īn declared unreliable. See al-Taqrīb 1/465. However, Abu Nu‘aym transmitted it by a more reliable route. (7) “Hamd” does not appear in (M).
