1538 — “Your ties of kinship, your ties of kinship!”

Ibn Hibban (2037) recorded it: Al-Hasan ibn Sufyan informed us; Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us; Abu Ahmad al-Zubayri narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us from Sulayman al-Taymi, from Anas ibn Malik, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said during his illness: Then he mentioned it.

Ibn Shahin and Ibn Mardawayh also narrated it through ‘Amr ibn Abi Hafs, from Khalid ibn Salamah, from Sa‘id, with the same wording, except that he said: Ibn Zurarah al-Ansari.

Al-Hafiz said in al-Isabah: “That is what he stated, but the inconsistency in it comes from Hafs ibn Sulayman, who is weak.”

I say: The correct version is: Ibn Zurarah, because Jarir ibn Hazim corroborated him in the narration mentioned first. This escaped al-Hafiz, so he did not mention it at all; likewise, he failed to point out the weakness of its chain of transmission and to identify
