Ibn Judʿan. Al-Haythami said in al-Majmaʿ (2/139): “Scholars differ over whether he may be cited as evidence, though he has been deemed trustworthy.” I say: A narrator such as him may be cited in corroboration. I therefore graded this hadith good, since it has a corroborating report from ʿAli, may Allah be pleased with him, whose documentation was given previously under no. 237.

The mother of al-Hasan—that is, al-Basri—was named Khayrah. She was trustworthy, as stated in Ibn Hibban’s al-Thiqat (4/216). Al-Hafiz’s designation of her as “acceptable” is an unwarranted understatement, for a number of trustworthy narrators reported from her, and she was a female Successor. ʿAdi ibn Abi ʿAdi was al-Kindi. Ibn Hibban said in Thiqat al-Tabiʿin (5/270): “The name of Abu ʿAdi was Farwah. He narrated from his father, who is said to have been a Companion. ʿIsa ibn ʿAsim narrated from him. He died in 126 AH.” He is also included in al-Tahdhib.

Abu Hammam al-Kharaki—al-Khariji in the original text, which is a scribal error—was al-Salt ibn Muhammad. He was trustworthy and among al-Bukhari’s narrators. He explicitly stated that he heard directly from ʿAdi, but I do not know whether this has been accurately preserved, since the way the scholars have treated his biography indicates that he belonged to a later generation. Ibn Hibban included him (8/324) among those who narrated from the Followers of the Successors, rather than among their followers. And Allah knows best.

Al-Tahawi recorded it in Sharh Maʿani al-Athar (2/379): ʿAli ibn Zayd related to us: Musa ibn Dawud related to us: Yaʿqub ibn Ibrahim related to us, from Yahya ibn Saʿid, from Abu
