“We know of no report from Rabīʿah on the authority of ʿAmmār other than this one.”

I say: Rabīʿah is unknown, and the chain leading to him includes Yaḥyā ibn Salamah ibn Kuhayl, who is abandoned.

Another chain is through ʿĪsā ibn Muslim—who was known as Abū Dāwūd al-Aʿmā—from ʿAbd al-Aʿlā ibn ʿĀmir al-Thaʿlabī, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sharīk al-ʿĀmirī, from Muslim ibn Mikhraq, from Mikhraq, the client of Ḥudhayfah, who said: I said to ʿAmmār ... and he mentioned it in an abridged form, similarly.

Al-Bazzār recorded it (2691). ʿĪsā and ʿAbd al-Aʿlā are weak.

Another is from a female client of ʿAmmār ibn Yāsir, who said:

ʿAmmār fell seriously ill and lost consciousness. When he regained consciousness, we were weeping around him. He said: “Why are you weeping?! Do you fear that I will die in my bed?! My beloved ﷺ informed me that the rebellious faction will kill me, and that my last provision will be a draught of milk.”

Abū Yaʿlā recorded it (1614), as did Ibn ʿAsākir from him (12/635). Its narrators are trustworthy, except for ʿAmmār’s female client, who is unknown.

The hadith has two corroborating reports:

The first is from Ḥudhayfah, and it has two chains from him:

The first is through ʿĪsā ... etc.

The other is through Muslim ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Aʿwar, from Ḥabbah al-ʿUranī, who said:

We entered with Abū Masʿūd al-Anṣārī upon Ḥudhayfah ibn al-Yamān to ask him about trials. He said: “Follow the Book of Allah wherever it leads, and observe the faction in which Ibn Sumayyah is found and follow it, for he follows the Book of Allah wherever it leads.” We said: “And who is Ibn Sumayyah?” He said: “ʿAmmār,”
