Abū Wāʾil, from ʿAbd Allāh, as a narration traced back to the Prophet.

Abū Nuʿaym remarked, “It is singular in the narration of al-Aʿmash; only Mis-har transmitted it from him.”

I say: Mis-har is weak. Al-Bukhārī said, “There is some reservation about him,” as quoted by Ibn ʿAdī (343/1). The same wording appears in Tahdhīb and in al-Mīzān, except that there it reads, “Al-Bukhārī said: There is reservation about him,” omitting the word “some”—perhaps an oversight by al-Dhahabī or a copyist.

Al-Nasāʾī said, “He is not strong.” Ibn Ḥibbān, however, listed him among the reliable transmitters, while Ibn Ḥajar in al-Taqrīb described him as “weak in hadith.”

The rest of the transmitters in the chain are trustworthy—narrators cited by the two Shaykhs—apart from this al-Fasawī. Al-Khaṭīb (7/372) gives his biography and reports from al-Dāraqutnī that he said, “There is no harm in him.”

Saʿīd ibn Sulaymān is al-Ḍabbī al-Wāsiṭī, a reliable ḥāfiẓ and one of the narrators used by the two Shaykhs.

From this clarification you can see the error in al-Haythamī’s statement (7/202): “Al-Ṭabarānī narrated it, and its isnād contains Mis-har ibn ʿAbd al-Malik, whom Ibn Ḥibbān and others declared trustworthy—though there is disagreement—while the rest of its transmitters are those of the Ṣaḥīḥ.”

In fact, this al-Fasawī is not among the transmitters of the Ṣaḥīḥ—indeed, not even among the narrators of any of the Six Books!
