It is narrated from him by ʿAbd al-Jabbār ibn Ward, who is closer to being trustworthy, though he makes mistakes and is prone to error, as Ibn Ḥibbān stated. Perhaps this is one of his errors; and Allah knows best.

Ibn al-Zubayr’s hadith has two further routes, recorded by Aḥmad (4/4), Abū Nuʿaym (4/307), and ʿAbd al-Razzāq (19049).

Let us return to Ibn Masʿūd’s hadith, for it has another route:

The fourth: from Shaqīq:

Al-Ṭabarānī narrated it in al-Awsaṭ (6265), through Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad al-Shāfiʿī, from Sufyān, from al-Aʿmash, from him, with the same wording.

This Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad was the cousin of Imam al-Shāfiʿī. He was truthful, as al-Ḥāfiẓ stated in al-Taqrīb. The rest of its narrators are trustworthy, so the chain is good.

2—As for Ibn ʿAbbās’s hadith:

It was narrated by al-Bukhārī (467), al-Nasāʾī in al-Kubrā (8102), Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim in al-Sunnah (1463), Ibn Ḥibbān (6860), Aḥmad in al-Musnad (1/270) and al-Faḍāʾil (67), Ibn Saʿd (2/227–228), Abū Yaʿlā (2584), al-Ṭaḥāwī in Mushkil al-Āthār (1/441), al-Quṭayʿī in his additions to al-Faḍāʾil (134), al-Ṭabarānī in al-Kabīr (1193 and 11974), Abū Nuʿaym in al-Ḥilyah (3/342–343), and al-Bayhaqī in al-Dalāʾil (7/167), through ʿIkrimah, from him, with the same wording.
