(1) K reads: “*anā al-nadhīr* (‘I am the warner’).” (2) K reads: “*wa-bika* (‘and through you’).” (3) K reads: “regarding the establishment of his imamate and *wilāya* (authority).” (4) *Bihi* (“it”) is omitted from N and M. (5) Abū Shujā Shīrawayh ibn Shahardār ibn Fanākhisrū al-Daylamī al-Hamadhānī was a historian and hadith scholar, born in 445 AH and deceased in 509 AH. He authored *Firdaws al-Akhbār*, a large hadith work. Ibn Shahardār abridged it, and Ibn Hajar al-Asqalānī subsequently abridged that abridgment. See his biography in *Tabaqāt al-Shāfiiyya*, 7:111–112—which states that he was nicknamed Ilkiyā—*al-Alām*, 3:268; *Mujam al-Muallifīn*, 4:313; and *Kashf al-Zunūn*, p. 1254. (6) Al-Tabarī narrated this fabricated hadith in his *Tafsīr* (al-Maārif ed.), 16:357, saying: “Ahmad ibn Yahyā al-Sūfī reported to us, saying: al-Hasan ibn al-Husayn al-Ansārī reported to us, saying: Muādh ibn Muslim, the seller of Harawī cloth, reported to us from Atā ibn al-Sāib, from Saīd ibn Jubayr, from Ibn Abbās, who said: When the words ‘You are only a warner, and every people has a guide’ were revealed, the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) placed his hand on his chest and said, ‘I am the warner, and every people has a guide.’ He then gestured toward Alī’s shoulder and said, ‘You are the guide, O Alī. Through you, those who are guided after me will receive guidance.’” My teacher, Professor Mahmūd Muhammad Shākir, commented on this fabricated hadith: “Al-Hasan ibn al-Husayn al-Ansārī al-Uranī was apparently called ‘al-Uranī’ because he frequented the mosque of Habbah al-Uranī. He was one of the Shia’s leaders, was not trustworthy, and could not be relied upon as proof. Ibn Hibbān said: ‘He transmits, on the authority of reliable narrators, reports falsely attached to them, and he narrates inverted and objectionable reports.’ His biography appears in Ibn Abī Hātim, 1/2/6; *Mīzān al-Itidāl*, 1:225; and *Lisān al-Mīzān*, 2:198. “Muādh ibn Muslim, the seller of Harawī cloth, is not mentioned with this designation anywhere outside the *Tafsīr*. Harawī refers to garments named after Herat. The printed edition rendered the phrase as ‘al-Harawī reported to us,’ thereby severely corrupting the *isnād* (chain of transmission). Muādh ibn Muslim is *majhūl* (unknown), as Ibn Abī Hātim stated. His biography appears in Ibn Abī Hātim, 4:248; *Mīzān al-Itidāl*, 3:178; and *Lisān al-Mīzān*, vol. 6. This report is utterly unsound from every angle. Al-Dhahabī and Ibn Hajar also cited it in their biographical entry on al-Hasan ibn al-Husayn al-Ansārī. After reproducing the report with its chain and wording and likewise attributing it to Ibn Jarīr, they said: ‘Muādh is *nakira* (unrecognized); perhaps the defect lies with him.’ I say: Rather, the defect lies with both of them—al-Hasan ibn al-Husayn and Muādh ibn Muslim.” See also the discussion of this hadith in *Mukhtasar al-Tuhfa al-Ithnā Ashariyya*, p. 157.
