843 — Al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad al-Zaʿfarānī and ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Aswad Abū ʿAmr al-Baṣrī narrated to us, both saying: ʿUbaydah ibn Ḥumayd narrated to us, from ʿUmārah ibn Ghaziyyah, from Abū Ḥāzim, from Sahl ibn Saʿd, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, similar to the ḥadīth of Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAyyāsh.

Regarding this chapter, there is also [a ḥadīth] from Ibn ʿUmar and Jābir.

The ḥadīth of Abū Bakr is a gharīb ḥadīth; we do not know it except from the narration of Ibn Abī Fudayk, from al-Ḍaḥḥāk ibn ʿUthmān. And Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir did not hear [directly] from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Yarbūʿ. Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir did narrate, from Saʿīd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Yarbūʿ, from his father, other than this ḥadīth. Abū Nuʿaym al-Ṭaḥḥān, Ḍirār ibn Ṣurad, narrated this ḥadīth from Ibn Abī Fudayk, from al-Ḍaḥḥāk ibn ʿUthmān, from Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir, from Saʿīd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Yarbūʿ, from his father, from Abū Bakr, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him — and Ḍirār erred in that.

I heard Aḥmad ibn al-Ḥasan say: Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal said: Whoever says in this ḥadīth: "from Muḥammad ibn al-Munkadir, from Ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Yarbūʿ, from his father," has erred.

============================================
= There is weakness in it — though it has been corroborated.

It was also narrated by Ibn Mājah (2921) via the route of Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAyyāsh; by Ibn Khuzaymah (2634), al-Ḥākim 1/451, and al-Bayhaqī 5/43 via the route of ʿUbaydah ibn Ḥumayd; and by al-Ṭabarānī in al-Kabīr (5740) and in al-Awsaṭ (258) via the route of Muʿāwiyah ibn Ṣāliḥ — all three of them (Ismāʿīl, ʿUbaydah, and Muʿāwiyah) narrating from ʿUmārah ibn Ghaziyyah, with this chain of transmission.
