But I noticed that al-Manawi had been taken in by al-Suyuti’s attribution and had overlooked the error in it, thus approving it; indeed, he even added to it, saying:

“Al-Tabarani also narrated it, and the author marked it as good. This is an oversight; rather, it ought to have been marked as authentic, for al-Haythami said: ‘Its narrators are trustworthy.’”

However, al-Haythami said this only regarding al-Tabarani’s narration from Jabir; he did not mention it at all as a hadith of Abu Sa‘id.

Al-Manawi then said:

“The apparent implication of the author’s procedure is that it has no source in either of the two Sahihs, or even in any of the Six Books; otherwise, he would not have confined himself to other sources. This is an oversight, for Muslim and al-Bukhari recorded it in the Book of Dress with the wording mentioned, except with ‘raises’ in place of ‘places.’”

This is another error, and a twofold one: Muslim recorded it with both wordings, as has preceded. As for al-Bukhari, he did not record it at all—neither in the Book of Dress nor elsewhere.

Among his astonishing claims is his statement at the end of his discussion:

“...He overlooked al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar’s rebuttal, namely that it is found in al-Bukhari in the Book of Dress!”

Yet al-Hafiz himself attributed it, at the end of the Book of Dress (10/399), only to Muslim. He did, however, mention—may Allah have mercy on him—in the Book of Seeking Permission (11/81) that his pen had slipped in the Chapters on Mosques, where he wrote Sahih al-Bukhari while what was intended was Sahih Muslim. *

Al-Nasa’i recorded it in al-Sunan al-Kubra (4/149/16632), as did al-Bayhaqi
