“(Note:) None of them narrated it with the wording, ‘And whoever usurps ...’ However, al-Ṭabarānī narrates from the hadith of Wāʾil ibn Ḥujr, ‘Whoever usurps ...,’” and he then cited the hadith in question.

I say: This note contains two benefits:

The first is a refutation of al-Nājī’s aforementioned correction of al-Ḥāfiẓ.

The second is that it demonstrates the error of al-Ḥāfiẓ and others in attributing the hadith to the narration of Ibn Masʿūd. Allah is the Granter of success.

I then saw that al-Suyūṭī attributed it in al-Jāmiʿ al-Kabīr (2/804) to al-Ṭabarānī, on the authority of Wāʾil ibn Ḥujr. So praise be to Allah for granting success, and I ask Him for more of His bounty.

The three annotators failed to notice either this error or that strong corroborating report which authenticates the hadith. Thus, in (2/268), they declared the hadith weak, blindly following al-Haythamī in his weakening of al-Ḥumānī!!

3366—“If I were to command anyone to prostrate to another, I would command a woman to prostrate to her husband. A woman does not fulfil her husband’s due until—even if he asks her for herself while she is on a saddle—she grants him his request.”

Al-Ṭabarānī narrated it in al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr (5/236/5116): Mūsā ibn Hārūn reported to us: Aḥmad ibn Ḥafṣ reported to us: my father told me: Ibrāhīm ibn Ṭahmān reported to us, from al-Ḥajjāj ibn al-Ḥajjāj, from Qatādah, from al-Qāsim al-Shaybānī, from Zayd ibn Arqam:

Muʿādh said, “O Messenger of Allah, what do you think of the People of Scripture prostrating to their bishops and patriarchs? Should we not prostrate to you?” He said: ... and then cited it.

I say: This is an authentic chain of transmission. All its narrators are trustworthy transmitters used by al-Bukhārī, except al-Qāsim
