4322 — We were told by ʿĪsā ibn Muḥammad: we were told by Ḍamrah, from al-Saybānī, from ʿAmr ibn ʿAbd Allāh, from Abū Umāmah, from the Prophet, peace be upon him, something similar, and he mentioned the prayers with the same meaning.(1)

4323 — We were told by Ḥafṣ ibn ʿUmar: we were told by Hammām: we were told by Qatādah, from Sālim ibn Abī al-Jaʿd, from Miʿdān ibn Abī Ṭalḥah, from the report of Abū al-Dardāʾ, which he related from the Prophet of God, peace be upon him, who said: "Whoever preserves ten verses from the beginning of Sūrat al-Kahf will be protected from the trial of the Dajjāl."(2)

= Ibn Jābir al-Ṭāʾī — and Ibn Mandah narrated it in *al-Īmān* (1027) via the route of Hishām ibn ʿAmmār, mentioning Yaḥyā ibn Jābir!

It is also in *Musnad Aḥmad* (17629).

Regarding his statement in this hadith: "If he emerges while I am among you, then I will be his disputant on your behalf," al-Ḥāfiẓ said in *al-Fatḥ* 13/96: This is to be understood as having occurred before it became clear to him the time of his emergence and its signs, so it was possible that he would emerge during the lifetime of the Prophet, peace be upon him. Then afterward, his situation and the time of his emergence were made clear to him, and he informed of it. Thus the reports are reconciled.

(1) Its chain is good. ʿAmr ibn ʿAbd Allāh — who is al-Saybānī — narrated from more than one Companion, and al-ʿIjlī and Yaʿqūb ibn Sufyān declared him trustworthy. Ibn Ḥibbān said in *Mashāhīr ʿUlamāʾ al-Amṣār*: He was precise. Abū al-Ṭayyib declared this hadith of his authentic in *ʿAwn al-Maʿbūd* 11/303.

Al-Saybānī: he is Yaḥyā ibn Abī ʿAmr — and in copies (A) and (ʿA) it was corrupted to al-Shaybānī. Ḍamrah: he is Ibn Rabīʿah al-Filasṭīnī. ʿĪsā ibn Muḥammad: he is Ibn al-Naḥḥās al-Ramlī.

It was also narrated by Ibn Mājah (4077) via the route of Ismāʿīl ibn Rāfiʿ, from Abū Zurʿah Yaḥyā ibn Abī ʿAmr al-Saybānī, from Abū Umāmah — and he did not mention ʿAmr ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Saybānī in its chain.

Al-Ḥāfiẓ said in *al-Nukat al-Ẓirāf* 4/175: Ismāʿīl ibn Rāfiʿ is weak in hadith, and perhaps the error is from him.

See the complete discussion of it and the full exposition of its supporting witnesses at Ibn Mājah.

(2) Its chain is authentic. Qatādah: he is Ibn Diʿāmah al-Sadūsī. Hammām: he is Ibn Yaḥyā al-ʿAwdhī. Ḥafṣ ibn ʿUmar: he is Abū ʿUmar al-Ḥawḍī. =
