(Note) Al-Suyūṭī included this hadith of Abū Saʿīd in al-Jāmiʿ al-Ṣaghīr with both additions, attributing it to Aḥmad, Abū Yaʿlā, Ibn Ḥibbān, al-Ṭabarānī, and al-Ḥākim.

The defectiveness and misleading impression in this are evident, for none of them recorded it in the manner in which he cited it—unless Abū Yaʿlā and al-Ṭabarānī did so, though I consider that highly unlikely. Moreover, the first addition was narrated only by Aḥmad, Abū Yaʿlā, and al-Ḥākim, while the other addition was narrated only by al-Ḥākim. Al-Manāwī left the hadith without comment and did not notice this conflation committed by al-Suyūṭī.

It has a third chain from Abū Saʿīd, recorded by al-Ṭabarānī (1/123/1). Its chain of transmission is good; its narrators are trustworthy and are narrators of the Ṣaḥīḥ, apart from Maysarah ibn Ḥabīb, who is himself trustworthy. Al-Ḥākim declared the addition authentic (3/151), and al-Dhahabī agreed with him.

2—As for the hadith of Ḥudhayfah, it has three chains from him:

The first: from Isrāʾīl, from Maysarah al-Nahdī, from al-Minhāl ibn ʿAmr, from Zirr ibn Ḥubaysh, from him, who said:

“I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and prayed Maghrib with him. Then he stood praying until he prayed ʿIshāʾ—the original reads: dawn—then he went out, and I followed him. He said: ‘An angel appeared to me. He sought his Lord’s permission to greet me and to give me the glad tidings that al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn are the masters of the youths of Paradise.’”

It was recorded by al-Tirmidhī (2/307), Ibn Ḥibbān (2229), Aḥmad (5/391), al-Ṭabarānī (1/123/1), al-Khaṭīb (6/372), and Ibn ʿAsākir in The History of Damascus (4/255/2), through two chains from Isrāʾīl with this wording. Al-Tirmidhī and Aḥmad added:
