“The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said”—that is, reporting from Allah, the Exalted!
I say: There are two points to note here:
First: None of those mentioned includes the words, “that is, reporting from Allah.” Rather, it appears in their works as I cited shortly before.
Second: His listing al-Bukhari among them is an error, which al-Suyuti followed him in making in his two compilations. Neither al-Mizzi attributed it to him in al-Tuhfah (10/206/13908), nor did the compilers of the indexes, nor al-Hafiz in Fath al-Bari, in the Book of Softening the Hearts. *
- “After me, you will see selfish favoritism and matters that you will find objectionable.” They asked, “What do you command us to do, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “Render to them what is due to them, and ask Allah for what is due to you.”
It was recorded by al-Bukhari (7052), Muslim (6/17–18), al-Tirmidhi (2190), Abu Nu'aym in Hilyat al-Awliya' (4/146), Ahmad (1/433), and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir (10073), through the route of Zayd ibn Wahb, who said: I heard Abdullah say: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to us: ... and he mentioned the hadith. *
- “A man should not sit between a man and his son in a gathering.”
It was recorded by al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat (4/358–359/4429), through the route of Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Abd al-Aziz—who is al-Baghawi. This is found in Hadith Ali ibn al-Ja'd (folio 175/1, no. 3057, printed edition): Muhammad ibn Habib ibn Muhammad al-Jarudi narrated to us: Abd al-Aziz ibn Abi Hazim narrated to us, from his father, from Sahl ibn Sa'd, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ... and he mentioned it.
