between his narrations from the Syrians, which he deemed strong, and his narrations from the people of the Hijaz. He said: “When he narrates from the Syrians, there is no problem with him; but he narrated objectionable reports from Yahya ibn Saʿid.”

I say: This is among his narrations from the Syrians, for Luqman ibn ʿAmir was one of them. It has a corroborating report from the hadith of Abu al-ʿAjfaʾ, attributed to the Prophet, with similar wording. Ibn Saʿd recorded it with a chain whose narrators are trustworthy. It also has another corroborating report from Abu Maryam al-Ghassani, attributed to the Prophet. Al-Haythami said (8/224): “Al-Tabarani narrated it, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy.”

In the hadith of al-ʿIrbad ibn Sariyah, attributed to the Prophet, it is worded: “And the vision my mother saw in her sleep: that she had given birth to a light …”

I say: Its ending contains a rejected addition, on account of which I cited it in the other book (2085).

1926 — “How blessed will life be after the Messiah! How blessed will life be after the Messiah! The sky will be granted leave to send down rain, and the earth to bring forth vegetation. Were you to sow your seed upon solid rock, it would grow. There will be no avarice, envy, or hatred, until a man passes by a lion and it does not harm him, and he steps upon a snake and it does not harm him. There will be no avarice, envy, or hatred.”

Abu Bakr al-Anbari narrated it in his Hadith (vol. 1, folio 6/1–2). He said: Jaʿfar ibn Muhammad ibn Shakir narrated to us; he said: ʿAffan narrated to us; he said: Salim ibn Hayyan narrated to me—dictating from a sheet, and I questioned him. He said: Saʿid ibn Mina narrated to us from Abu Hurayrah, attributed to the Prophet.
