It was also narrated as a report attributed to the Prophet through Maslamah ibn ʿAli: Yahya ibn al-Harith informed us from Numayr ibn Aws, from Umm al-Dardaʾ, from Abu al-Dardaʾ, from the Messenger of Allah, with the same wording.

Ibn ʿAsakir narrated it (17/322/2).

This is a chain of transmission that cannot serve as evidence; indeed, it cannot even be cited as corroboration, because Maslamah ibn ʿAli, al-Khushani, is abandoned. Moreover, he contradicted the group previously mentioned, who narrated it from Yahya ibn al-Harith, from al-Qasim, from Abu Umamah.

Their narration is sufficient, leaving no need for Ibn Maslamah’s narration.

381 — “He forbade temporary marriage and said: ‘Indeed, it is forbidden from this day of yours until the Day of Resurrection. Whoever has given anything should not take it back.’”

Muslim narrated it (4/134) through Maʿqil, from Ibn Abi ʿAblah, from ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAziz, who said: Al-Rabiʿ ibn Sabrah narrated to us from his father that the Messenger of Allah ... and he mentioned it.

I say: This is a chain whose narrators are trustworthy. There is no one among them whose status calls for examination except this Maʿqil, namely Maʿqil ibn ʿUbayd Allah al-Jazari.

Al-Dhahabi said of him: “Truthful; Ibn Maʿin declared him weak.”

Al-Hafiz said in al-Taqrib: “Truthful, but makes mistakes.”

I say: A narrator of this sort has reports of the rank of good in themselves, or at least good due to supporting evidence. He was not alone in narrating this hadith, for Muslim and others also narrated it through several routes from al-Rabiʿ ibn Sabrah,
