4680 - Muhammad ibn Sulayman al-Anbari and Uthman ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us—the meaning being the same—they said: Waki' narrated to us, from Sufyan, from Simak, from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, turned toward the Ka'bah, they said: O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, what about those who died while praying toward Bayt al-Maqdis? Then Allah, the Exalted, revealed: {And Allah would never cause your faith to be lost} [Al-Baqarah: 143](1).

4681 - Mu'ammal ibn al-Fadl al-Harrani narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Shu'ayb—meaning Ibn Shabur—narrated to us, from Yahya ibn al-Harith, from al-Qasim, from Abu Umamah, from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that he said: "Whoever loves for the sake of Allah, hates for the sake of Allah, gives for the sake of Allah, and withholds for the sake of Allah, has perfected faith"(2).

= Al-Sindi said in his "Hashiyah on the Musnad": Her saying: "And what is the deficiency of intellect and religion?"—that is, what is the proof of that? That is, what evidence demonstrates the deficiency of women's intellect and religion? He cited as evidence for the deficiency of intellect what results from it, namely that the testimony of a woman is half the testimony of a man, for this results from the deficiency of their intellect and is caused by it, not that it is the cause of it. And he cited as evidence for the deficiency of their religion what is a cause of it, for their remaining nights without prayer and fasting is a cause of the deficiency of their religion. So the first evidence is "that" (innī), and the second is "why" (limmī), but the general term "evidence" encompasses both. From this it becomes clear that the question should not be about the cause of the deficiency, since the answer does not correspond to it in explaining the deficiency of intellect.

(1) Sahih by virtue of corroborating evidence, but this chain is weak, because in the narration of Simak—who is Ibn Harb—from 'Ikrimah there is some disorder. Sufyan: he is al-Thawri, and 'Ikrimah: he is the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas.
It was also recorded by al-Tirmidhi (3202) from Hannad and Abu 'Ammar, who said: Waki' narrated to us, from Isra'il, from Simak, from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbas. And he mentioned it.
It is in "Musnad Ahmad" (2691) and (2775), and in "Sahih Ibn Hibban" (1717).
It is corroborated by the hadith of al-Bara' ibn 'Azib in al-Bukhari's "Sahih," no. (40).

(2) A sound hadith, and this chain is good. Al-Qasim: he is Ibn 'Abd al-Rahman al-Dimashqi (the companion of Abu Umamah). Al-Bukhari, Ibn Ma'in, Ya'qub ibn Sufyan, al-Tirmidhi, and others declared him trustworthy. =
