and, in his view, that is not considered assimilation (tashbīh). Allah says: “There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.”

Abū ʿĪsā—may Allah have mercy on him—died in Rajab of the year 279 AH. He had studied with the pupils of Ḥammād ibn Salamah and Mālik.

247 – Jāmiʿ al-Tirmidhī 1/128-129. After quoting the report he wrote, “A ḥadīth that is ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ.”

I say: The Two Ṣaḥīḥs and others have also recorded it; it is the marfūʿ narration of Abū Hurayrah—may Allah be pleased with him—and it has already appeared under number 11.

102 – Ibn Mājah 209-273.

276 – Al-Ḥāfiẓ Abū ʿAbd Allah Muḥammad ibn Yazīd al-Qazwīnī, in his Sunan, under “Chapter: What the Jahmiyyah Rejected,” cited the ḥadīth on the Beatific Vision, the ḥadīth of Abū Razīn, and the ḥadīth of Jābir—“While the people of Paradise are enjoying their bliss, a light will suddenly shine upon them, so they will raise their heads and behold the Lord, Blessed and Exalted, looking down on them from above”—as well as the ḥadīth, “Allah folds up the heavens in His right hand,” the ḥadīth of the wild goats, the ḥadīth, “Allah indeed laughs at three,” and other reports dealing with the attributes. He did something similar in his Tafsīr, like other ḥadīth scholars. He died in Ramaḍān of the year 273 AH.

248 – Sunan Ibn Mājah 1:63-73.

249 – Numbers 177-179: the reports of Jarīr ibn ʿAbd Allah, Abū Hurayrah, and Abū Saʿīd; they are also found in the Two Ṣaḥīḥs, as mentioned earlier in note 56.

250 – Number 183. The author quoted it in full earlier in this book (p. 19), but I have left it out of this abridgement because it does not meet the criterion we stated in the introduction.

251 – Number 184. I say: it is weak as well, and I have pointed out its defect in my Takhrīj of al-Ṭaḥāwiyyah, p. 170.

252 – Numbers 192 and 198: the narration of Abū Hurayrah, which is in both Ṣaḥīḥs, and the narration of Ibn ʿUmar, which is in Muslim; I have documented both of them in my Takhrīj of Kitāb al-Sunnah by Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim, pp. 546-549.
