(The second chain) It was recorded by Ibn Majah (2/436), Ahmad (3/120), and al-Diya’ al-Maqdisi through Waki: “Waki related to us; Abu Khuzaymah told me, from Anas b. Sirin, from him,” with similar wording. This isnad is good; its transmitters are those used by the two Shaykhs except for Abu Khuzaymah, who is reliable (saduq) according to “Taqrib.” It contains the first and second additional phrases. Al-Diya’ al-Maqdisi also cited it through ‘Isa b. Yunus al-Ramli: “Waki b. al-Jarrah—at Ramla—related to us; Sufyan, from Humayd al-Tawil, from Anas.” This isnad too is good and provides another route, assuming it is soundly preserved, for ‘Isa b. Yunus is described in “Taqrib” as “reliable though liable to err.” (The third chain) It was transmitted by al-Hakim (1/504), Ahmad (3/265), al-Tahawi (1/62), Ibn Mandah, Kitab al-Tawhid (67/1 = p. 136/213), and al-Tabarani in al-Saghir (p. 215); through al-Tabarani it also reaches al-Diya’ al-Maqdisi by two routes from Ibrahim b. Ubayd b. Rifa‘a, and this version contains the second and third additions. In al-Tabarani alone—and in Ibn Mandah’s first path, second narration—the final extra phrase appears, omitting the words, “By Him in Whose hand is my soul!” With al-Hakim—and with Ibn Mandah’s third path—the preceding extra phrase is found. Al-Hakim (and likewise al-Dhahabi) remained silent regarding it; the isnad is sound. Ahmad and al-Tabarani explicitly name the supplicant: Abu ‘Ayyash Zayd b. Samit al-Zuraki.
