Al-Sayyid ʿImād al-Dīn Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Ṣaʿr ibn al-Sayyid al-Ṣāniʿ al-Anṣārī read to us while I listened in the year 676 AH, together with Abū al-ʿIzz Yūsuf ibn Yaʿqūb ibn al-Mujāwir and al-Muslim ibn ʿAllān. They said:
Abū al-Yaman Zayd ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Zayd al-Kindī read to us, saying: Abū Manṣūr ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Muḥammad ibn Zurayq al-Qazzāz al-Shaybānī read to us; al-Ḥāfiẓ Abū Bakr Aḥmad ibn ʿAlī ibn Thābit al-Khaṭīb al-Baghdādī informed us; Abū ʿUmar ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Mahdī narrated to us; the judge Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥusayn ibn Ismāʿīl al-Maḥāmilī narrated to us; Abū Mūsā Muḥammad ibn al-Muthannā narrated to us; Ibn ʿUyaynah narrated to us, from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah, from his father, from ʿĀʾishah—may Allah be pleased with her—who said:
“When the Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him—arrived in Mecca, he entered it from its upper side and departed from its lower side.”
