And al-Hafiz noted in the margin:
“Al-Humaydi included it among al-Bukhari’s unique reports.”
I say: This appears to be correct, unless it occurred in some copies but not in others. Allah knows best. *
3611—“While I was asleep, I was brought the treasures of the earth, and two gold bracelets were placed in my hand. They weighed heavily upon me and troubled me, so I was inspired: ‘Blow on them.’ I blew on them, and they vanished. I interpreted them as the two liars between whom I am: the man of Sana’a and the man of al-Yamamah.”
It was narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, by Abu Hurayrah, and three people narrated it from him:
First: Hammam ibn Munabbih:
Al-Bukhari (4375 and 7037), Muslim (7/58), Ahmad (2/319)—whose wording is cited here—al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan al-Kubra (The Major Sunan) (8/175) and al-Dala’il (The Proofs) (5/335), and al-Baghawi in Sharh al-Sunnah (Explanation of the Sunnah) (3297) narrated it through Ma‘mar from him, with this wording.
Second: Abu Salamah:
Ahmad (2/338 and 344), Ibn Majah (3922), Ibn Abi Shaybah (11/58), and Ibn Hibban (6653) narrated it in abbreviated form through Muhammad ibn ‘Amr from him.
Its chain of transmission is good, in view of the standing of Muhammad ibn ‘Amr ibn ‘Alqamah.
