3469 — “People will be resurrected barefoot, naked, and uncircumcised. Sweat will bridle them, reaching their earlobes.” Sawdah said: “I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! What shame! Will some of us look at others?’” He replied: “People will be too preoccupied for that.” Then he recited:

“On that Day a man will flee from his brother,
and from his mother and father,
and his wife and children.
Every person among them, that Day, will have concerns enough to occupy him.”

Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Muʿjam al-Kabir (24/34/91), as did al-Hakim (2/514–515) and al-Baghawi in his exegesis (8/340), through Ismaʿil ibn Abi Uways:

My father narrated to me from Muhammad ibn Abi ʿAyyash, from ʿAtaʾ ibn Yasar, from Sawdah, the Prophet’s wife, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: … and he then cited it.

The wording is that of al-Hakim, who said: “Authentic according to Muslim’s criteria!” Al-Dhahabi concurred with him.

I say: Muhammad ibn Abi ʿAyyash was not among Muslim’s narrators, nor among those of any of the other six collections. Al-Bukhari mentioned him in al-Tarikh (1/1/236–237/41), as did Ibn Abi Hatim (4/1/84/352), and they said:

“Muhammad ibn Abi Musa—also said to be Ibn Abi ʿAyyash—… ʿAbd al-Hamid ibn Sulayman and Abu Uways narrated from him.”

The same appears in Ibn Hibban’s al-Thiqat (7/426), except that the words “also said to be” were omitted, making Abu ʿAyyash his grandfather! This omission appears to be an early one, since it likewise occurs in Tartib al-Thiqat. What is correct is that found in the books of al-Bukhari and Ibn Abi Hatim. The one who said “Muhammad ibn Abi Musa” was the aforementioned ʿAbd al-Hamid ibn Sulayman; he thus corroborates Abu Uways,
