And Mujāhid is more firmly established than Manṣūr.

Muḥammad informed me, on the authority of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī al-Aswad, who said: ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Mahdī said: Manṣūr is the most firmly established of the people of Kūfah.

34 - Chapter

1302 - Abū Kurayb narrated to us, saying: Abū Bakr ibn ʿAyyāsh narrated to us, on the authority of Abū Ḥaṣīn, on the authority of Ḥabīb ibn Abī Thābit,
on the authority of Ḥakīm ibn Ḥizām: that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, sent Ḥakīm ibn Ḥizām to buy a sacrificial animal for him for a dīnār. He said: So he bought a sacrificial animal and made a profit of a dīnār on it, so he bought another in its place, and brought the sacrificial animal and the dīnār to the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Sacrifice the sheep, and give the dīnār in charity."

The ḥadīth of Ḥakīm ibn Ḥizām is not known to us except through this chain, and Ḥabīb ibn Abī Thābit did not, in my view, hear from Ḥakīm ibn Ḥizām.

--------------------------------------------
(1) Its chain is weak; Ḥabīb ibn Abī Thābit did not hear from Ḥakīm ibn Ḥizām, as the author said.
It was also transmitted by Abū Dāwūd (3386) via the route of Sufyān, on the authority of Abū Ḥuṣayn, on the authority of a shaykh from the people of Medina, on the authority of Ḥakīm ibn Ḥizām, and in it, instead of his saying: "Sacrifice the sheep, and give the dīnār in charity," he said: So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, gave it in charity, and prayed for him that he be blessed in his trade. Its chain is weak due to the anonymity of the narrator from Ḥakīm, and the story has been authentically established from the ḥadīth of ʿUrwah ibn Abī al-Jaʿd al-Bāriqī in the ḥadīth that follows this one.
