/107 and 205), through other routes from Ḥumayd alone. I say: Its chain of transmission is authentic according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs, and both of them narrated a similar version. See al-Irwāʾ (177).

2171 — “Had you said, ‘In the name of Allah,’ the angels would have borne you aloft while the people looked on.”

Al-Ṭabarānī (13/2) narrated it from Sulaymān ibn Ayyūb: my father narrated to me from my grandfather, from Mūsā ibn Ṭalḥah, from his father, who said: “On the day of Uḥud, I was struck by an arrow and cried out, ‘Hiss!’ He then said…” and mentioned it.

I say: This is a weak chain of transmission because of this Sulaymān, for he is known for objectionable reports, as stated in al-Mīzān. However, he was not alone in narrating it. Abān ibn Sufyān narrated: Hushaym narrated to us from Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad ibn Ṭalḥah, from Mūsā ibn Ṭalḥah, with a similar wording. Ibn Shāhīn recorded it in al-Sunnah (no. 81 in my copy). Yet al-Dāraquṭnī said of Abān ibn Sufyān: “A man from al-Jazīrah, abandoned.”

Al-Ḥusayn ibn al-Faraj also followed him: Muḥammad ibn ʿUmar narrated to us from al-Ḍaḥḥāk ibn ʿUthmān, who was informed by Makhramah ibn Sulaymān al-Wālibī, from Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad, with the same report. Al-Ḥākim recorded it (3/369). I say: Both he and al-Dhahabī remained silent about it, although it is very weak. Muḥammad ibn ʿUmar—al-Wāqidī—is accused of lying, and al-Ḥusayn ibn al-Faraj is abandoned.
