By this same chain of transmission, the hadith of the dissolution of the Hajj was narrated. Ibn al-Qattan said in *Bayān al-Wahm* 3/468: "This al-Harith ibn Bilal—his condition is unknown." And Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Hanbal said: "I asked my father about the hadith of Bilal ibn al-Harith al-Muzani, and he said: 'I do not uphold it, and its chain is not well-known; none narrated it except al-Darawardi alone.'"

The account of the grant (iqṭāʿ) of the Qabaliyyah mines to Bilal ibn al-Harith will follow later, at number (3063), from the hadith of Ibn Abbas. Its chain is good (ḥasan) when considered among corroborating chains and supporting witnesses.

The account of the grant will also follow from the hadith of Kathir ibn Abdullah al-Muzani, from his father, from his grandfather, at number (3063). Regarding Kathir ibn Abdullah, al-Bukhari and al-Tirmidhi held a favorable opinion of him, while others declared him weak, and some went so far as to accuse him of lying. The most balanced judgment concerning him is that he is weak but may be considered as a supporting narrator; thus this narration of his is good (ḥasan) among corroborating chains and supporting witnesses.

Al-Bayhaqi also transmitted the account of the Prophet's ﷺ grant to Bilal, 6/149, via the path of Abd al-Razzaq, from Ma'mar, from Ibn Tawus, from his father, from a man of Medina—who said: "The Prophet ﷺ granted al-ʿAqīq to a single man. Then when Umar's time came, many people crowded upon it, so he gave him part of it and granted the rest to the people." This chain is sound (ṣaḥīḥ) if the man of Medina was a Companion, for most of Tawus's narrations are from the Companions. The man to whom the Prophet ﷺ made the grant was Bilal ibn al-Harith, as Ibn Khuzaymah, al-Hakim, and al-Bayhaqi explicitly stated, as mentioned previously.

Yahya ibn Adam also transmitted it in *al-Kharāj* (294), and from his path al-Bayhaqi 6/149, via the path of Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazm—as a mursal (incomplete chain)—who said: "Bilal ibn al-Harith al-Muzani came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him for a grant of land, so he granted him land, long and wide..."

Abu Ubayd also transmitted it in *al-Amwāl* (867), via the path of Abu Makin Nuh ibn Rabi'ah, from Abu Ikrimah, the freed slave of Bilal ibn al-Harith, who said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted Bilal such-and-such land, from such-and-such place to such-and-such, including whatever mountain or mine was in it." He said: "Then the sons of Bilal sold it to Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, and two mines came to light in it. They said: 'We only sold you agricultural land; we did not sell you the mine.' And they brought the deed of the grant that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had made to their father, written on a palm frond." He said: "Umar kept wiping it over his eyes, and he said to its overseer: 'See what you have extracted from it and what you have spent on it.' He settled with them for the expenses and returned the surplus to them."
