(1) Reported by al-Bukhari 11/9; Muslim 7/3; Abu Dawud 2/291; al-Bayhaqi 7/89; and Ahmad 3/36, on the authority of Abu Saʿid al-Khudri. Muslim and Ahmad (4/30) also transmitted it through Abu Talhah al-Ansari. (2) Narrated by Abu Dawud 1/335; al-Tirmidhi 4/14; al-Tahawi in Sharh al-Athar 2/8-9 and in al-Mushkil 2/352; al-Hakim 3/194—who deemed it sahih according to Muslim’s criterion, a judgment endorsed by al-Dhahabi; al-Bayhaqi 7/90; and Ahmad 5/353, 357, through the chain of Sharik → Abu Rabiʿah → Ibn Buraydah → his father, as a marfuʿ report. Al-Tirmidhi remarked, “This hadith is hasan gharib; we know it only through the narration of Sharik.” I note that Sharik is Sharik ibn ʿAbd Allah al-Qadi; although his memory was weak, the hadith has supporting chains. Indeed, al-Tahawi in both works, al-Hakim 3/123, and Ahmad nos. 1369, 1373 relate it via Hammad ibn Salamah → Muhammad ibn Ishaq → Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Taymi → Salamah ibn Abi Tufayl → ʿAli ibn Abi Talib. Al-Hakim declared this isnad sahih, and al-Dhahabi concurred. While Muhammad ibn Ishaq was a mudallis and transmits here with ʿanʿanah, the report is sound when both chains are combined, and it is further corroborated by the following hadith.
