Abdullah ibn Rajā' followed Bishr ibn Mansūr, also attributing it as a chain from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Isḥāq, with the same chain, as found in the *Ṣaḥīḥ* of Ibn Khuzaymah (2318).

It was also attributed by Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-Tammār (who is trustworthy but makes errors), who narrated it from al-Zuhrī with the same chain as the one preceding, as found in the *Sunan* of Abū Dāwūd (1604), the *Sunan* of al-Tirmidhī (644), the *Sunan* of Ibn Mājah (1819), and the *Ṣaḥīḥ* of Ibn Ḥibbān (3278) and (3279).

Abū Dāwūd declared it defective due to discontinuity, saying after the ḥadīth: Saʿīd did not hear anything from ʿAttāb. End quote. However, according to the view of those who mentioned that ʿAttāb's death was delayed until the year (22 AH), then Saʿīd's hearing from him is valid, as mentioned by al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar in *al-Tahdhīb*. And Allah knows best.

Abū Ḥātim and Abū Zurʿah also declared it defective due to the mursal narration, saying—as found in *al-ʿIlal* 1/213 (617)—: This is an error; ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Isḥāq narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from Saʿīd, that the Prophet ﷺ ordered ʿAttāb ibn Asīd (meaning this mursal narration of al-Nasā'ī).

Yūnus ibn Yazīd al-Aylī differed from both ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Isḥāq and Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-Tammār, saying: from al-Zuhrī, that the Prophet ﷺ ordered ʿAttāb ibn Asīd... without mentioning Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyab. And Yūnus al-Aylī is among the most reliable of people regarding al-Zuhrī, except that Imām Aḥmad spoke about his narration from him. Abū Zurʿah said: What is correct in my view is from al-Zuhrī, that the Prophet ﷺ.

Al-Tirmidhī said: A ḥasan gharīb ḥadīth. Ibn Jurayj narrated this ḥadīth from Ibn Shihāb, from ʿUrwah, from ʿĀ'ishah. I asked Muḥammad [meaning al-Bukhārī] about this ḥadīth, and he said: The ḥadīth of Ibn Jurayj is not preserved (ghayr maḥfūẓ), and the ḥadīth of Ibn al-Musayyab from ʿAttāb ibn Asīd is more firmly established and more authentic. End quote.

Al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar said in *al-Taqrīb* in the biography of Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyab: They agreed that his mursal narrations are the most authentic of all mursal narrations.

The ḥadīth has a supporting witness from the ḥadīth of Abū Umāmah ibn Sahl, who said: The sunnah has been established that zakāh is not taken from palm trees or grapes until their estimated yield (kharṣ) reaches five wasqs. Al-Zuhrī said: We do not know of any fruit being estimated (yukhras) except dates and grapes. Al-Bayhaqī narrated it in his *Sunan* 4/122.

The meaning of kharṣ (estimation) has already been mentioned from the words of al-Sindī in the commentary on ḥadīth (2491).
