Al-A‘mash, from Abū Ṣāliḥ, from Abū Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with its meaning, and he said: "Every child is born upon the fitrah."(1)

6 - Chapter: What has been related that nothing repels the decree except supplication

2276 - Muhammad ibn Ḥumayd al-Rāzī and Sa‘īd ibn Ya‘qūb narrated to us, they said: Yaḥyā ibn al-Ḍurays narrated to us, from Abū Mawdūd, from Sulaymān al-Taymī, from Abū ‘Uthmān al-Nahdī, from Salmān, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Nothing repels the decree except supplication, and nothing increases one's lifespan except righteousness."(2)

In this chapter, there is also a narration from Abū Usayd.

This is a ḥasan gharīb ḥadīth from the narrations of Salmān; we do not know it except from the narration of Yaḥyā ibn al-Ḍurays.

There are two narrators known as Abū Mawdūd: one of them is called Fiḍḍah, and the other is ‘Abd al-‘Azīz ibn Abī Sulaymān. One of them is Baṣrī and the other is Madanī, and they lived in the same era.

(1) After this, the printed edition mentions: "In this chapter, there is also a narration from al-Aswad ibn Sarī‘," but it is not found in the manuscript sources available to us. We say: his ḥadīth is in "Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān" (132), and see the complete citation of its sources therein.

(2) Ḥasan due to supporting evidence. It was narrated by al-Ṭaḥāwī in "Sharḥ Mushkil al-Āthār" (3068), and by al-Ṭabarānī (6128). It has a supporting witness from the ḥadīth of Thawbān, narrated by Aḥmad (22386).
