Ikrimah ibn Ammar contradicted him, narrating it from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah, attributed to the Prophet with similar wording, but without the second half.

Al-Uqayli transmitted it in al-Du‘afa’ (206) through ‘Abd Allah ibn Ziyad al-Yamami, who said: Ikrimah ibn Ammar related it to me. He said: “Al-Bukhari said of ‘Abd Allah ibn Ziyad: ‘His hadith is rejected.’”

I say: However, he was not alone in narrating it. Al-Uqayli said: “Afif ibn Salim narrated it from Ikrimah in this manner.” I say: Afif is truthful, as stated in al-Taqrib. Al-Bayhaqi may have narrated it through his route, for al-Mundhiri said in al-Targhib (3/50): “Al-Bayhaqi narrated it with a chain that is unobjectionable, then said: ‘It is singular through this chain; it is known only through ‘Abd Allah ibn Ziyad, from Ikrimah—that is, Ibn Ammar.’ He said: ‘This ‘Abd Allah ibn Ziyad has rejected hadiths.’”

I then found another supporting narration for it: Ibn al-Jarud narrated it in al-Muntaqa (647) through al-Nadr ibn Muhammad, who said: Ikrimah ibn Ammar related it to us in the same manner. Al-Nadr ibn Muhammad—Abu Muhammad al-Jurashi al-Yamami—is trustworthy and one of the narrators relied upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. Thus, this supporting narration removes its singularity and the sole transmission of ‘Abd Allah ibn Ziyad. The rest of its narrators are trustworthy narrators of Muslim, although they criticized Ikrimah’s narration from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, saying that his hadiths from him are inconsistent.

The final sentence of the hadith has a supporting report from Sa‘id ibn Zayd, with the wording: “The most grievous form of ribā is maligning people’s honor.” It has already been discussed under no. (1433). I then found another supporting report for the hadith from Ibn ‘Abbas, attributed to the Prophet, with the wording:
