In sum, the hadith is good, as al-Tirmidhi stated, because its transmission revolves around Fa’id. Whoever omitted him has narrated anomalously. Either he received it directly from Salma, as in the first chain—in which case there would be no problem, were it not for the anomalous report concerning him—or through an intermediary: either ‘Ali ibn ‘Ubayd Allah, who is unknown, or ‘Ubayd Allah ibn ‘Ali, which is the more correct version, as al-Tirmidhi said. He is trustworthy; thus, the hadith is established, Allah willing.

2060 — “Whenever he fell ill, Gabriel would recite a healing supplication over him, saying: ‘In Allah’s name, may He cure you of every illness; may He heal you, and protect you from the evil of an envier when he envies, and from the evil of everyone possessed of an evil eye.’”

Ibn Sa‘d narrated it (2/213–214) through Zuhayr ibn Muhammad, from Yazid ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Had, from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim, from ‘A’ishah, attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. He also narrated it by way of Sulayman ibn Bilal, from ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn Muhammad al-Darawardi—both of them from Yazid ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Had, from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Harith al-Taymi, from Abu Salamah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman, from ‘A’ishah, with the same wording.

I say: This is an authentic chain according to Muslim’s criteria. Muslim also transmitted it in his Sahih (7/13) by another route from al-Darawardi, with this wording; and Ahmad (6/160) narrated it from Zuhayr ibn Muhammad, with this wording. It has a supporting narration, attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, from the hadith of Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri, with similar wording. Muslim and Ibn Majah (3523) narrated it.

2061 — “Whenever the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ate or drank, he would say: ‘Praise be to Allah, who fed and gave drink, made it easy to swallow, and provided it a way out.’”

It was narrated by Abu Dawud (3851), Ibn Hibban in his Sahih (1351), and Ibn al-Sunni in Deeds of the Day and Night (464), from Abu ‘Aqil al-Qurashi, from Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Hubali, from
