Al-Nasaʾi also recorded it through Jaʿfar ibn Sulayman, from Thabit, in a more complete version, worded:

“The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would visit the Ansar, greet their children, stroke their heads, and supplicate for them.”

I say: Its chain of transmission is authentic. Its meaning is the same as that of the hadith of al-Muwaqqari, so it is a strong corroborating report for it. It was also recorded by al-Tahawi in al-Mushkil (1/498), Ibn Hibban (2145), Abu Nuʿaym (6/291), and al-Khatib (8/398), through this route.

1279 — “On the day of Eid, he would wear a red cloak.”

Al-Tabarani narrated it in al-Awsat (53/2—its supplementary material): Muhammad ibn Ishaq—namely, Ibn Rahawayh—narrated to us: “My father narrated to us: Saʿd ibn al-Salt narrated to us, from Jaʿfar ibn Muhammad, from his father, from ʿAli ibn al-Husayn, from Ibn ʿAbbas,” attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

I say: Its chain of transmission is good, and all its narrators are known and trustworthy except Saʿd ibn al-Salt, the Bajali, their client. Ibn Abi Hatim included his biographical notice (2/1/86), citing a group of other narrators who reported from him, but mentioned neither any disparagement nor accreditation concerning him. He is included in Ibn Hibban’s al-Thiqat (6/378). Al-Haythami said (2/198): “Al-Tabarani narrated it in al-Awsat, and its narrators are trustworthy.”

1280 — “When Iblis begins the day, he disperses his troops and says: ‘Whoever leads a Muslim astray today, I shall place a crown upon him.’ One of them then comes and says: ‘I kept at him until he divorced his wife.’ He says: ‘He will soon marry again.’ Another comes and says: ‘I kept at him until he disobeyed his parents.’ He says: ‘He will soon become dutiful to them.’ Another comes and says: ‘I kept at him until he committed shirk.’ He says: ‘You—yes, you!’ Another comes and says: ‘I kept at him until he killed someone.’ He says: ‘You—yes, you!’ and places the crown upon him.”
