ʿIrāk; rather, he narrated it from Sulaymān, from ʿIrāk.” He then cited its chain through Makḥūl, with the same wording but without the exception. Muslim likewise narrated it (3/76–68), through Khuthaym ibn ʿIrāk, from his father, with similar wording but without the addition. Al-Bukhārī likewise narrated it.

I say: However, in a version recorded by Muslim (3/68) and al-Dāraquṭnī (p. 214), Ibn Wahb said: Makhramah informed me from his father, from ʿIrāk ibn Mālik, attributed to the Prophet, with the wording: “There is no zakah due on a slave except zakat al-fitr.” Thus, the addition is preserved. And Allah knows best.

Al-Ṭabarānī also narrated from him, and Ibn al-Athīr, in al-Lubāb, mentioned no one besides al-Ṭabarānī as having narrated from him. Then I found al-Dāraquṭnī saying in al-Ḥākim’s Questions to Him (p. 129): “Truthful.” Aḥmad ibn ʿUbayd is somewhat weak in hadith, as stated in al-Taqrīb. It has a corroborating report from the hadith of al-ʿAbbās ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib, attributed to the Prophet, with the wording:
