from Saʿīd ibn Abī Saʿīd al-Maqburī, from his father, from Abū Hurayrah, who said:

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said it.

I say: This is a good chain of transmission. Its narrators are trustworthy, apart from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Mughrā, who was truthful but whose narrations from al-Aʿmash have been criticized, as stated in al-Taqrīb. This, however, is one of his narrations from someone other than him, as you can see. Thus, the hadith is sound—especially since numerous hadiths with the same meaning are found in the two Ṣaḥīḥs and elsewhere.

Badr ibn al-Haytham was Abū al-Qāsim al-Lakhmī, the Kūfan judge who resided in Baghdad. Al-Khaṭīb included his biography in 7/107–108 and said: “He was trustworthy, one of those who lived to a great age; he died in 317 AH.” His biographical notice is omitted from Ibn ʿAsākir’s History of Damascus; in the copy held by the al-Ẓāhiriyyah Library, there is a blank space in place of the biography. Al-Ḥasan ibn Ḥabīb was Abū ʿAlī, the Shāfiʿī jurist known as al-Khuḍayrī. Ibn ʿAsākir gave a fine biographical notice of him in 4/213/2 and said: “One of the trustworthy and precise authorities; he was born in 242 AH and died in 338 AH.”

In al-Jāmiʿ al-Ṣaghīr, it is attributed to al-Bayhaqī in al-Shuʿab, on the authority of Abū Hurayrah. Al-Manāwī left it without comment, saying nothing about its chain of transmission. So all praise is due to Allah for His enabling grace.

753 — “He would have himself cupped on his head, and he called it Umm Mughīth.”

Tamām recorded it in al-Fawāʾid (20/2), and al-Khaṭīb in History of Baghdad (13/95), through the route of Zakariyyā ibn Yaḥyā al-Wāsiṭī—Raḥmūyah—who said: Bishr ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz narrated to us; ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿUmar informed me, from Nāfiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar, who then related it as a hadith attributed to the Prophet.
