Al-Ḥākim also transmitted it through this route, with an addition to its text; it was because of this addition that I included it in al-Ḍaʿīfah (2233). It also contains other defects, which I discussed at length there.
2026 — “Record knowledge in writing.”
It has been narrated on the authority of Anas ibn Mālik, ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr, and ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-ʿAbbās.
- As for the hadith of Anas, it has the following routes from him:
The first: from Thumāmah ibn Anas, from Anas, attributed to the Prophet with this wording. Luwayn transmitted it in his Hadiths (24/2): “ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn Sulaymān narrated to us, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Muthannā, from his uncle Thumāmah ibn Anas.” Through Luwayn, Ibn Shāhīn transmitted it in The Abrogating and Abrogated (65/2), as did al-Khaṭīb in al-Tārīkh (10/46) and in Taqyīd al-ʿIlm (pp. 69–70), Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr in Jāmiʿ al-ʿIlm (1/72), and Yūsuf ibn ʿAbd al-Hādī in Hidāyat al-Insān (31/2), all of them from Luwayn through this chain. Luwayn said: “No one other than this man used to attribute it to the Prophet.”
I say: He meant ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn Sulaymān, who is weak, as stated in al-Taqrīb. Through him, it was also transmitted by Abū al-Shaykh in Ṭabaqāt al-Aṣbahāniyyīn (p. 293), Abū al-Ḥasan al-Ḥarbī in al-Fawāʾid (168/1), and Abū Bakr al-Daqqāq in the second part of his Hadiths (43/2). Ibn ʿAbd al-Hādī said: “ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn Sulaymān, the brother of Fulayḥ, was alone in attributing it to the Prophet; he has been declared weak. The preserved report from ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Muthannā, from Thumāmah, from Anas, is that it was his own statement.”
