It then became clear to me what I had hoped regarding ʿAbd Allah ibn Isḥāq al-ʿAṭṭār: he was ʿAbd Allah ibn Isḥāq al-Jawharī al-Baṣrī. Al-Mizzī mentioned him among those who narrated from al-Ḍaḥḥāk ibn Makhlad, Abū ʿĀṣim al-Nabīl; Ibn Ḥibbān likewise included him in al-Thiqāt (8/363) and said: “His hadiths are sound.” Thus, it is established that the chain is good. And Allah knows best.

2052 — “No trait was more detested by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, than lying. Whenever he discovered any instance of it in one of his Companions, he would withhold his company from him until he knew that he had repented.”

Ibn Saʿd recorded it in al-Ṭabaqāt. He said: Khālid ibn Khidāsh informed us; Ḥammād ibn Zayd informed us, from Ayyūb, from Ibrāhīm ibn Maysarah, who said: ʿĀʾishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said—and he cited it.

Rūḥ ibn al-Qāsim corroborated him, narrating it from Ibrāhīm ibn Maysarah with the same wording. Ibn Abī al-Dunyā recorded it in Makārim al-Akhlāq (p. 30). Aḥmad (6/152) said: ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated to us; Maʿmar informed us, from Ayyūb, from Ibn Abī Mulaykah or someone else, from ʿĀʾishah, who said—and he cited it with similar wording.

I say: The narrators of the first chain are trustworthy, despite the weakness of Khālid ibn Khidāsh; however, he has been corroborated, as you have seen. Yet the chain is interrupted, for Ibrāhīm ibn Maysarah is not known to have met any of the Companions other than Anas. Al-Bukhārī said: “Mursal,” as will be mentioned. Naṣr ibn Ṭarīf al-Bāhilī narrated it with a connected chain, from Ibrāhīm ibn Maysarah, from ʿUbayd ibn Saʿd, from ʿĀʾishah. Ibn Abī al-Dunyā recorded it (p. 32), but Ibn Ṭarīf is accused of fabrication.
