...of Ṣāliḥ.¹

This is a ḥadīth that more than one narrator has related from Thābit al-Bunānī in a similar manner, and it is the ḥadīth of Thābit al-Bunānī. This ḥadīth has also been related from Shahr ibn Ḥawshab, from Asmāʾ bint Yazīd.

And I heard ʿAbd ibn Ḥumayd say: Asmāʾ bint Yazīd is Umm Salamah al-Anṣāriyyah.

Both ḥadīths are, in my view, one and the same. Shahr ibn Ḥawshab has related more than one ḥadīth from Umm Salamah al-Anṣāriyyah, who is Asmāʾ bint Yazīd. And something similar to this has also been related from ʿĀʾishah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

¹ A ḥadīth that may be deemed ḥasan due to its supporting witness, though this chain is weak due to the weakness of Shahr ibn Ḥawshab. It was transmitted by Abū Dāwūd (3982) and (3983). It is in the *Musnad* of Aḥmad (26518) and (27569).

It has a supporting witness from the ḥadīth of ʿĀʾishah, transmitted by al-Bukhārī in *al-Tārīkh al-Kabīr* 1/286–287, al-Farrāʾ in *Maʿānī al-Qurʾān* 2/17–18, Ḥafṣ al-Dūrī in *Qirāʾāt al-Nabī* (62), and al-Ḥākim 2/241, via the path of Muḥammad ibn Juḥādah, from his father, from ʿĀʾishah: that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to recite: {Innahu ʿamila ghayra ṣāliḥ} ["Indeed, he did a deed other than righteous"]. And Juḥādah—no one narrated from him besides his son.

It was also transmitted by al-Ṭabarānī in *al-Awsaṭ* (4312) via the path of Bishr ibn Khālid, from ʿAṭiyyah ibn al-Ḥārith, from Ḥumayd al-Azraq, from Masrūq, from ʿĀʾishah. Al-Haythamī said in *al-Majmaʿ* 7/155: In it is Ḥumayd al-Azraq, whom I do not know, and the rest of its narrators are trustworthy.

We say: al-Ṭabarī transmitted in his *Tafsīr* that it was related from a group of the Salaf that they recited: {Innahu ʿamila ghayra ṣāliḥ} as an informative statement about a past action, with "ghayra" in the accusative. Among those from whom it is related that he recited it thus is Ibn ʿAbbās. We say: And it is the recitation of al-Kisāʾī and Yaʿqūb.
