(4/260), after citing it through Aḥmad’s route:
“It has corroborating reports through other authentic and good chains.”
I say: Among them is the hadith of Ibn Masʿūd, raised to the Prophet, with similar wording. Al-Ṭayālisī recorded it in his Musnad (53/400): ʿImrān al-Qaṭṭān narrated to us, from Qatādah, from ʿAbd Rabbih, from Abū ʿIyāḍ, from him.
I say: This is a good chain of transmission. A number of others also narrated it by this route, and it has been fully sourced in al-Rawḍ al-Naḍīr (351).
It has another, abridged corroborating report from the hadith of ʿĀʾishah, may Allah be pleased with her, which has already appeared under no. 513, as has no. 2731.
The hadith has previously appeared in this Silsilah under no. 389. *
3103—“Rejoice, O Kaʿb!” His mother said, “May Paradise be yours, O Kaʿb!” He said, “Who is this woman who presumes to decide what Allah will do?!” They said, “She is my mother, O Messenger of Allah!” He said, “And how do you know, O mother of Kaʿb? Perhaps Kaʿb said something that did not concern him, or withheld something that would not enrich him.”
Ibn Abī al-Dunyā recorded it in al-Ṣamt (Silence) (74/110): Aḥmad ibn ʿĪsā al-Miṣrī narrated to us: Ḍimām ibn Ismāʿīl al-Iskandarānī narrated to us: Yazīd ibn Abī Ḥabīb and Mūsā ibn Wardān narrated to me from Kaʿb ibn ʿUjrah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, missed Kaʿb and asked about him. They said, “He is ill.” So he set out on foot until he came to him, and when he entered upon him, he said ... and then mentioned it.
Al-Khaṭīb also recorded it in al-Tārīkh (4/273), through Ibn Abī al-Dunyā,
