Al-Firyābī also recorded it through this route (53).
I say: This is a good chain of transmission. Al-Walīd ibn al-Mughīrah is trustworthy. Abū Salamah al-Khuzāʿī—whose name was Manṣūr ibn Salamah—was trustworthy and highly precise, as stated in al-Taqrīb. Mishraḥ’s status and truthfulness have already been noted.
- As for the hadith of Ibn ʿAbbās, it is narrated by Ḥafṣ ibn ʿUmar al-ʿAdanī, who said: Al-Ḥakam ibn Abān narrated to us, from ʿIkrimah, from him. Al-ʿUqaylī recorded it in the biographical entry on this al-ʿAdanī and said (99):
“No corroborating report exists for it on the authority of Ibn ʿAbbās. However, it has been narrated from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with an acceptable chain.”
- As for the hadith of ʿIṣmah ibn Mālik, it is narrated by al-Faḍl ibn al-Mukhtār, from ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Mawhab, from him. Ibn ʿAdī recorded it in the biographical entry on al-Faḍl and said at its end (324/1):
“Most of his hadiths are uncorroborated, whether in their chains of transmission or their wording.”
Abū Ḥātim said: “His hadiths are rejected; he narrates falsehoods.” Al-Ṭabarānī also narrated it through his route, as cited by al-Manāwī in Fayḍ al-Qadīr, who said: “He is weak.”
I say: In sum, the hadith is authentic through the routes mentioned before these. And Allah knows best.
