Al-Marwazī was a trustworthy narrator and one of al-Bukhārī’s teachers. However, the preserved version from al-Zuhrī, with this chain of transmission, is mursal, as stated above. Yūnus likewise narrated it from him, but said: “From Ibn Shihāb, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Kaʿb ibn Mālik and others, that ʿĀmir ibn Mālik ...” the hadith.
Al-Ṭabarānī transmitted it (140).
Note: From what I mentioned above, you have learned that both al-ʿAdanī’s narration from ʿAbd al-Razzāq and al-Marwazī’s narration from Ibn al-Mubārak are connected. Nevertheless, our esteemed brother commented on both of them by stating that ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated it (9741), whereas, as you have learned, it appears under that same number in his work as mursal. This therefore requires clarification.

Add to the second line from the bottom:
And al-Bayhaqī in al-Ādāb (p. 479).
- p. 398, Hadith 1790.
Add in the eighth line, after the words: “... I did not recognize Ibn ʿUqbah”:
I later found that he is named “Muḥammad ibn ʿUqbah” by al-Ṭabarānī in al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr (19/341/790), through the same route. This Muḥammad was the son of ʿUqbah ibn Abī Mālik al-Quraẓī, the nephew of Thaʿlabah ibn Abī Mālik. Ibn Ḥibbān included him in al-Thiqāt and said (3/234):
“He narrated from his father and Ibn ʿAbbās. He was counted among the people of Medina. Muḥammad ibn Rifāʿah and Zakariyyā ibn Manẓūr narrated from him.”
I say: Hishām ibn Saʿd should be added to these two, as in the route referred to above. This is a useful detail not found in the biographical works on narrators. Al-Ḥāfiẓ described him as “of unknown standing.”
