And Ibn Abi Mulaykah—his name is ʿAbdullāh ibn Abi Mulaykah.

88 — Chapter: What has come regarding: “Indeed, Allah loves that the trace of His blessing be seen upon His servant.”

3029 — Al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad al-Zaʿfarānī narrated to us, he said: ʿAffān ibn Muslim narrated to us, he said: Hammām narrated to us, from Qatādah, from ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Indeed, Allah loves that the trace of His blessing be seen upon His servant.” (1)

In this chapter, [there is also a narration] from Abu al-Aḥwaṣ, from his father, and from ʿImrān ibn Ḥuṣayn, and Ibn Masʿūd.

This is a ḥasan ḥadīth.

89 — Chapter: What has come regarding the black khuff (leather socks).

3030 — Hannād narrated to us, he said: Wakīʿ narrated to us, from Dalham ibn Ṣāliḥ, from Ḥujayr ibn ʿAbdillāh, from Ibn Buraydah, from his father: That the Negus gifted to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, two plain black khuffs, and he wore them, then he performed ablution and wiped over them.

(1) A ṣaḥīḥ ḥadīth, and this is a ḥasan isnād. Al-Nasāʾī recorded it in 5/79. It is in the Musnad of Aḥmad (6708). We have mentioned its supporting witnesses in the Musnad.

(2) A ḥasan ḥadīth due to other supporting narrations, but this chain is weak due to the weakness of Dalham ibn Ṣāliḥ and the unknown status of Ḥujayr ibn ʿAbdillāh.
