Muhammad, from Hammad ibn Salamah, from Ishaq ibn Abd Allah ibn Abi Talhah, from Anas, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said ... and he then cited it.

Muslim also narrated it (8/206–207) through Ibn Abi Shaybah, but did not give its wording in full; rather, he referred to the preceding narration through Ishaq ibn Abd Allah ibn Abi Talhah, who said: “Anas ibn Malik related to me: ‘There is no town that the Dajjal will not set foot in, except Mecca and Medina ...’” The rest is similar.

Al-Bukhari also narrated it (1881), as did al-Baghawi through him in Sharh al-Sunnah (7/326/2022), Ibn Hibban (6765, al-Ihsan), and Ahmad (3/238).

3085 — (“O people, do not come upon women at night, nor catch them unawares.”)

Al-Bazzar narrated it in his Musnad (2/186/1485, Kashf al-Astar): Muhammad ibn Ma‘mar narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Abd Allah (!) narrated to us: Ubayd Allah ibn Umar informed us, from Nafi‘, from Ibn Umar, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, returned from a military expedition and said ... and he then cited it. Al-Bazzar said:

“It is known only through Ibn Ajlan, from Nafi‘. Muhammad ibn Ubayd alone narrated it from Ubayd Allah.”

I say: Both are trustworthy narrators whose reports are found in the two Sahihs, as are all the other narrators. Muhammad ibn Ubayd—namely, al-Tanafisi—was listed by al-Hafiz al-Mizzi among those who narrated from Ubayd Allah, who is Ibn Umar al-Umari the Younger. Accordingly, the statement at the beginning of the chain, “... Muhammad ibn Abd Allah,” appears to be an error by the copyist. I did not say, “by the printer,” because it appears this way as well in the photographic copy.
