“It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī, and its chain includes Yaḥyā ibn Sulaymān al-Ḥafarī, concerning whom discussion has already preceded; its remaining narrators are trustworthy.”

In the passage to which he referred, he cited another hadith from Ibn Masʿūd, which I have already recorded in al-Ḍaʿīfah (6650). There I explained the status of this Yaḥyā al-Ḥafarī, and that al-Dhahabī’s statement concerning him—“I know of no harm in him!”—has no basis. There is therefore no need to repeat it.

3373—“On the Day of Resurrection, a man will come with such good deeds as he thinks will save him. Then a man whom he had wronged will continue to come forward, and some of his good deeds will be taken and given to the wronged person, until not a single good deed remains for him. Then another whom he had wronged will come, while none of his good deeds remains; so some of the wronged person’s evil deeds will be taken and placed upon his evil deeds.”

Al-Bazzār recorded it in his Musnad, al-Baḥr al-Zakhkhār (6/490–491/2524), and from him al-Ṭabarānī in al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr (6/316–317/6153): ʿAbd Allāh ibn Isḥāq al-ʿAṭṭār narrated to us; he said: Khālid ibn Ḥamzah al-ʿAṭṭār informed us; he said: ʿUthmān ibn Ghiyāth informed us; he said: Abū ʿUthmān informed us, from Salmān—may Allah be pleased with him—that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: … and he mentioned it.

I say: This is a chain whose narrators are all trustworthy and included among the narrators covered in al-Tahdhīb, apart from Khālid ibn Ḥamzah al-ʿAṭṭār. Al-Mizzī listed him among those who narrated from ʿUthmān ibn Ghiyāth and described him as “al-Aḥmar,” but I have found no biographical entry for him. As for al-Haythamī, he said (10/353):

“It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī and al-Bazzār, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Isḥāq al-ʿAṭṭār, from Khālid ibn Ḥamzah. I do not know either of them, while the rest of its narrators are narrators of the Ṣaḥīḥ.”

I say: The first is given a biographical entry in al-Tahdhīb, as indicated above. He is ʿAbd Allāh ibn Isḥāq ibn Muḥammad al-Nāqid, Abū Jaʿfar al-Wāsiṭī, also said to be al-Baghdādī; and Ibn—
