- As for the hadith of Ibn ‘Umar, it is narrated by Sharik, from Abu ‘Ulwan ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Ismah, from Ibn ‘Umar, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah say: … and he mentioned the hadith.
It was reported by al-Tirmidhi (2220 and 3944), al-Tayalisi (1925), Ahmad (2/26, 87, 91, and 92), al-Dulabi in The Kunyas (2/36), and al-Bayhaqi in The Proofs of Prophethood (6/482). Al-Tirmidhi said:

It was reported by Muslim (6/124) and Ahmad (6/105 and 152), through Sharik ibn Abi Namir, from ‘Abdullah ibn Abi ‘Atiq, from ‘A’ishah, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: … and he mentioned the hadith.
I say: Although this Sharik was among the narrators cited by both al-Bukhari and Muslim, he was truthful but prone to error, as al-Hafiz stated in al-Taqrib. He is the one who narrated the account of the Night Journey and Ascension, and differed in
