It was transmitted by al-Darimi (2/204) and Ahmad (5/151, 153, 159, and 164). In one version, he added: We asked, “What are these two things?” He said: “If they are men, then two men; if horses, then two horsemen; and if camels, then two camels,” until he enumerated the various categories of wealth. Its chain of transmission is authentic. Al-Darimi then said: “It means two dirhams, two slave-girls, two male slaves, or two riding animals.” The phrase, “No loss shall befall him,” means that he will suffer neither loss nor detriment; the word tawā means destruction.

2880 — “Whoever says, ‘Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no god worthy of worship but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest,’ Allah will plant a tree in Paradise for each of these phrases.”

It was transmitted by al-Tabarani in al-Awsat (2/235/1/8640) and in al-Du'a (3/1558/1676), through the route of Ali ibn Uthman al-Lahiqi, who said: Imran ibn Ubayd Allah, the client of Ubayd al-Sayd, narrated to us: I heard al-Hakam ibn Aban narrate from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said this. He said: “Ali ibn Uthman alone narrated it.”

I say: He is trustworthy, as stated in al-Lisan. The weakness lies with his shaykh, Imran, whom Ibn Ma'in and al-Bukhari graded weak, as will be mentioned below. Ibn Hibban declared him trustworthy (8/497). For this reason, al-Haythami said (10/91): “Al-Tabarani transmitted it in al-Awsat, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy.” By his words, “have been declared trustworthy,” he indicates that the declaration of trustworthiness for one of its narrators—namely this Imran—is weak. Al-Mundhiri did likewise, for he said in al-Targhib (2/245):
