(1) This report appears in *Fadāil al-Sahāba*, no. 368; the editor stated that its chain is authentic. It was also narrated by al-Bukhārī and al-Tabarānī. For no. 372, the editor graded its chain as fair. Regarding no. 615, he stated that he could not identify one of the transmitters in its chain, while the others are trustworthy. Al-Muhibb al-Tabarī cited the report in *al-Riyād al-Nadira*, 1/257, and said: “It was included by al-Bukhārī and Abū Hātim.” The hadith from Abdullah ibn Masūd—may Allah be pleased with him—appears in al-Bukhārī, 5/11, Book of the Virtues of the Prophet’s Companions, chapter “The Merits of Umar”; and 5/48, Book of the Merits of the Ansār, chapter “Umar’s Embrace of Islam.” (2) This report appears in *Fadāil al-Sahāba*, nos. 340, 353, and 357, in an abridged form ending with the words, “Be sure to mention Umar.” The editor authenticated their chains. It also appears at greater length but with different wording in nos. 356 and 475; the editor authenticated the chain of the former and classified the latter as weak. The concluding statement, “His embrace of Islam was a triumph, and his rule was a conquest,” appears with similar wording in report no. 307, whose chain the editor graded as fair. The report also appears with different wording in *Majma al-Zawāid*, 9/67, 77, and 78. (3) Al-Haythamī cited this report from Ibn Masūd—may Allah be pleased with him—twice in volume 9 of *Majma al-Zawāid*. On the first occasion, he said: “Al-Tabarānī narrated it within a lengthy account concerning Umar’s death.” He cited it a second time as part of a lengthy report, 9/77–78, containing the words: “By Allah, it is clearer than a road followed by travelers.” Al-Haythamī said: “Al-Tabarānī narrated it through several chains, and the transmitters in one of them are transmitters of the *Sahīh*.” Ibn al-Jawzī likewise cited the report at length in *Tārīkh Umar ibn al-Khattāb*, p. 214.
