It was narrated by al-Bayhaqī (7277). However, this Ḥabīb ibn Ḥassān is abandoned, so his report need not be considered.

Note: The word is ḥazzāz (with a doubled zāy) or ḥawwāz (with a doubled wāw). Ibn al-Athīr said: “It means matters that leave an impression upon the hearts, just as a cut affects an object. That is, thoughts which arise in them and may be acts of disobedience, since the hearts find no reassurance in them. This reading has a doubled zāy and is the plural of ḥāzz. Shammar narrated it as: ‘Sin is ḥawwāz of the hearts,’ with a doubled wāw; that is, it takes possession of them, dominates them, and prevails over them. It is also narrated as: ‘Sin is ḥazzāz of the hearts,’ with two zāys, the first doubled; it is a fiʿāl form derived from ḥazz (cutting).”

2614 — “Whoever grants his brother the cancellation of a sale, Allah will pardon his stumble on the Day of Resurrection.”

Al-Ṭabarānī narrated it in al-Awsaṭ (1/140/2): Aḥmad ibn Yaḥyā al-Ḥulwānī narrated to us; Saʿīd ibn Sulaymān narrated to us from Sharīk, from ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Abī Bashīr, from Abū Shurayḥ, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said it. He added: “No one narrated it from ʿAbd al-Malik except Sharīk.”

I say: He is Sharīk ibn ʿAbdullah al-Qāḍī. He was truthful, but had poor retention. All the other narrators are trustworthy, except that the chain is interrupted, since ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Abī Bashīr narrated only from the Successors. Saʿīd ibn Sulaymān was al-Ḍabbī al-Wāsiṭī. Al-Ḥulwānī has a biographical notice in Tārīkh Baghdād. Abū Shurayḥ was al-Khuzāʿī al-Kaʿbī; according to the well-known view, his name was Khuwaylid ibn ʿAmr. He was a well-known Companion who embraced Islam on the day of the Conquest.
