Al-Dārimī recorded it (2/465) through Abu Ishaq, from al-Mughīrah ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Jadalī, from him. Its narrators are reliable, apart from al-Mughīrah ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Jadalī, whom I was unable to identify. Among his contemporaries was al-Mughīrah ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Yashkurī of Kufa, from whom a number of narrators reported, including Abu Ishaq al-Sabīʿī; perhaps he is the one intended.

Although this wording is attributed to the Companion, it has the ruling of a hadith attributed to the Prophet. And Allah knows best.

The hadith has also been narrated from Abu Hurayrah as a hadith attributed to the Prophet, with its first clause in the wording: “Whoever recites ten verses in a night shall not be recorded among the heedless.” Al-Ḥākim recorded it (1/555): ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ḥamdān al-Jallāb—in Hamadan—told us; Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Kathīr al-Ṣūrī told us; Mūsā ibn Ismāʿīl told us, from Ḥammād ibn Salamah, from Suhayl ibn Abī Ṣāliḥ, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, as a hadith attributed to the Prophet with this wording. Ibn al-Sunnī also recorded it in The Deeds of Day and Night (696): Muḥammad ibn Ḥafṣ al-Baʿlabakkī told me; Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm al-Ṣūrī told us; Muʾammal ibn Ismāʿīl told us; Ḥammād ibn Salamah told us with the same chain.

Al-Ḥākim said: “Authentic according to Muslim’s criteria.” Al-Dhahabī concurred with him.

I say: It is as they said, provided that the chain to Ibn Ismāʿīl is sound and that he was Mūsā, not Muʾammal. Yet both matters are open to question.

As for the first, the chain—as you have seen—centres on Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Kathīr al-Ṣūrī. Al-Dhahabī mentioned him in al-Mīzān, called him Abu al-Ḥasan, and said: “He narrated from al-Firyābī and Muʾammal ibn Ismāʿīl. He narrated from Rawwād ibn al-Jarrāḥ a false or rejected report concerning the Mahdī, and he was excessive in his Shiite partisanship.”
