“It was recorded by al-Bukhārī under ‘The Virtues of al-Ḥasan,’ and by Muslim under ‘Virtues’!”

The truth is precisely the opposite. Allah alone is the Guide.

2790 — “I was shown what would be opened up for my community after me, and it pleased me. Then Allah Most High revealed: ‘And the Hereafter will be better for you than the first life,’ up to His words, ‘and you will be satisfied.’ Allah gave him in Paradise a thousand palaces of pearl, their soil being musk; in every palace is whatever befits him.”

Al-Ṭabarānī recorded it in al-Muʿjam al-Awsaṭ (1/34/1): Aḥmad ibn al-Qāsim narrated to us; he said: My uncle, ʿĪsā ibn al-Musāwir, narrated to us; he said: Marwān ibn Muʿāwiyah al-Fazārī narrated to us; he said: Muʿāwiyah ibn Abī al-ʿAbbās narrated to us, from Ismāʿīl ibn ʿUbayd Allāh al-Makhzūmī, from ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbbās, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said it.

I say: The narrators in this chain of transmission are trustworthy, apart from Muʿāwiyah ibn Abī al-ʿAbbās. Al-Haythamī said in Majmaʿ al-Zawāʾid (3/139): “I do not know him.” Al-Manāwī followed him in al-Jāmiʿ al-Azhar (2/14/2). I say: It seems possible to me that he was Muʿāwiyah ibn Abī ʿAyyāsh al-Zuraqī al-Anṣārī al-Madanī, whose biography appears in al-Tārīkh (4/1/332), al-Jarḥ (4/1/380), and Ibn Ḥibbān’s al-Thiqāt (7/467), among the Followers of the Followers, with two trustworthy narrators reporting from him. For he belongs to this generation, so the name Abī ʿAyyāsh may have been corrupted by some narrators into Abī al-ʿAbbās. It is also possible that this resulted from Marwān al-Fazārī’s concealment in transmission, for although he was trustworthy and a hadith master, he would obscure the names of his teachers, as stated in al-Taqrīb and elsewhere. If he is Ibn Abī ʿAyyāsh, then the chain of transmission is good in my estimation,
