774 — “On the Day of Resurrection, I shall come to the gate of Paradise and ask for it to be opened. Its gatekeeper will say, ‘Who are you?’ I shall reply, ‘Muhammad.’ He will say, ‘I was commanded not to open it for anyone before you.’”

Muslim narrated it in his Sahih (1/130), as did Ahmad (3/136), through the route of Hashim ibn al-Qasim, who said: Sulayman ibn al-Mughirah narrated to us from Thabit, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said—and he cited it.

I say: This is an authentic chain of transmission, meeting al-Bukhari’s criteria, though he did not include it. This further confirms that he did not include everything that met his criteria.

775 — “A woman may not dispose of any of her property without her husband’s permission.”

Tamam narrated it in al-Fawaʾid (10/182/2) through the route of Anbasah ibn Saʿid, from Hammad, a client of Banu Umayyah, from Janah, a client of al-Walid, from Wathilah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said—and he cited it.

I say: This is a weak chain of transmission. Hammad, the client of Banu Umayyah, appears to be unknown. Nothing has been mentioned concerning him except that al-Azdi declared him abandoned. Tamam stated that his father’s name was Salih, a useful detail not mentioned in his biographical entry. Likewise, they did not mention the name of the father of his shaykh Janah; Tamam identified him as ʿAbbad. Ibn Abi Hatim included his biography (1/1/537), on the basis of reports from him transmitted by a group of trustworthy narrators.

Ibn Hibban included him among the trustworthy narrators in al-Thiqat. As for Anbasah ibn Saʿid, he apparently was Anbasah ibn Aban ibn Saʿid ibn al-ʿAs, Abu Khalid al-Umawi, whom al-Daraqutni declared trustworthy.
