1 — As for the hadith of ʿAbd Allah ibn Jaʿfar, Muhammad ibn Isḥaq narrated it, saying: Hisham ibn ʿUrwah ibn al-Zubayr narrated to me from his father, ʿUrwah, from him, attributed to the Prophet, with the same wording. It was recorded by Ahmad (1/205), al-Hakim (3/184, 185), and al-Diyaʾ in al-Mukhtārah (fol. 128/1). Al-Hakim said: “Authentic according to Muslim’s criteria.” Al-Dhahabi concurred.

Al-Tirmidhi and al-Hakim added: “Therein there will be neither clamour nor fatigue.” Al-Tirmidhi said: “A good hadith.” Al-Hakim said: “Authentic according to the criteria of al-Bukhari and Muslim,” and al-Dhahabi concurred.
