Abū Hāshim—from Abū Mijlaz—from Qays ibn ʿAbbād—from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said—and he cited it. Al-Ḥākim said: “Authentic according to the criteria of Muslim,” and al-Dhahabī agreed with him.

I say: Rather, it meets the criteria of both al-Bukhārī and Muslim, for all its narrators are trustworthy and are among the narrators of both. Abū Hāshim al-Rummānī was named Yaḥyā, and his father was named Dīnār; though another name has also been reported.

Rūḥ ibn al-Qāsim also corroborated him, reporting it from Abū Hāshim as a Prophetic narration. Abū Isḥāq al-Muzakkī narrated it in al-Fawāʾid al-Muntakhabah (1/150/1), through ʿĪsā ibn Shuʿayb, who said: Rūḥ ibn al-Qāsim informed us. This is a good chain of transmission. Rūḥ ibn al-Qāsim was a trustworthy hadith authority and was also among the narrators of both al-Bukhārī and Muslim. ʿĪsā ibn Shuʿayb—the blind Basran grammarian—was truthful, though he made errors.

Al-Walīd ibn Marwān also corroborated him, narrating something similar from Abū Hāshim. Abū Bakr al-Shāfiʿī narrated it in al-Fawāʾid (3/1/257/1). This al-Walīd is unknown. Qays ibn al-Rabīʿ also corroborated him, reporting it from Abū Hāshim as a Prophetic narration. Abū Nuʿaym mentioned it in his al-Yawm wa al-Laylah. Qays had poor retention.

Sufyān al-Thawrī also corroborated him, narrating it from Abū Hāshim. Ibn al-Sunnī (28) and al-Maʿmarī (1) narrated it through Yūsuf ibn Asbāṭ, from him. However, this Yūsuf was weak, and ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Mahdī differed from him, saying: “Sufyān narrated to us”
