Al-Ṭabarānī recorded it in al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr (491): ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal narrated to us; Surayj ibn Yūnus narrated to us, from al-Muṭṭalib ibn Ziyād, from Ziyād ibn ʿIlāqah, from Usāmah ibn Sharīk, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said it, with the word “in” added at the beginning.

Al-Haythamī cited it without this addition in al-Majmaʿ (5/87–88), through this narration of Usāmah ibn Sharīk, and said: “Al-Ṭabarānī narrated it in al-Awsaṭ, and its narrators are trustworthy.” I did not find it in al-Awsaṭ, despite consulting the index I compiled for it. However, the copy has a lacuna, so it is possible that it appears on some of its missing leaves; otherwise, this was an error on his part—especially since he did not attribute it to al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr. Its chain of transmission is authentic, and all of its narrators are trustworthy. It has many corroborating reports in the two Ṣaḥīḥs and elsewhere, on the authority of Abū Hurayrah and others. Some of them have already preceded under numbers (759, 863, and 1069).

1820 — “The pilgrims performing Hajj and those performing ʿumrah are Allah’s delegation: He called them, and they answered Him; they asked Him, and He granted them.”

Al-Bazzār recorded it (no. 1153) through Muḥammad ibn Abī Ḥumayd, from Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir, from Jābir, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said it. He said: “We know it from Jābir only through Ibn al-Munkadir; Ṭalḥah ibn ʿAmr also narrated it from him.”

I say: This chain of transmission is weak. Muḥammad ibn Abī Ḥumayd—Abū Ibrāhīm al-Madanī, known as Ḥammād—was declared “weak” by al-Ḥāfiẓ. The narrator corroborating him, Ṭalḥah ibn ʿAmr, is even weaker than he; al-Ḥāfiẓ declared him “abandoned.” In view of this, I do not know the basis for al-Mundhirī’s statement (2/108), followed by al-Haythamī (3/211):
