Ahmad (2/292) and al-Tirmidhi (3/325) transmitted it. He said: “A good hadith”; in another version: “Good, authentic, and singular.”

I say: Sharik had poor retention, but this indicates that he accurately retained the narration recorded by Ahmad from the aforementioned Ubadah and Muadh. There is no contradiction between their narration and the narration of the others—“like the distance between heaven and earth”—because their narration is detailed, whereas the other is general; and the detailed report governs the general one, as is well known in the science of legal methodology.

923 — “Whoever is overcome by vomiting need not make up the fast.”

Al-Harbi transmitted it in Gharib al-Hadith (5/55/1): Al-Hakam ibn Musa narrated to us; Isa ibn Yunus narrated to us, from Hisham, from Muhammad, from Abu Hurayrah, in a report attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

I say: This is an authentic chain of transmission; its narrators are those of Muslim, though some have declared it defective on grounds that do not undermine it. I discussed it and demonstrated its authenticity in my commentary on Ibn Taymiyyah’s treatise al-Siyam (Fasting), and then in al-Irwaʾ (905).

924 — “I shall certainly expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula, until I leave none but a Muslim.”

Muslim (5/160), Abu Dawud (2/43), al-Tirmidhi (2/398), who graded it authentic, and Ahmad (no. 201) transmitted it through Ibn Jurayj, who said: Abu al-Zubayr narrated to us that he heard Jabir ibn Abd Allah say: Umar ibn al-Khattab informed me that he heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say this. Ibn Lahi'ah also corroborated him, narrating from Abu al-Zubayr.
