In this chapter, there is also a narration from Abu Sa'id.

This hadith is strange (gharib) from the narration of Ibn 'Abbas; we do not know it except through this chain.

============================================

= 'Ubaidullah ibn Abi Yazid, but Layth ibn Abi Sulaim followed him [in narrating it], and Ibn Majah transmitted it (1053), and it is in *Sahih Ibn Hibban* (2768). It will come later under number (3424), and al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar declared this hadith good (hasan) in *Nata'ij al-Afkar* 2/107.

Muhammad ibn al-Hasan also transmitted it in *al-Hujjah* 1/111-113 from Abu al-Ahwas Salam ibn Sulaim, from Layth ibn Abi Sulaim, from 'Ata' ibn Abi Rabah, from Ibn 'Abbas — and this chain is good (hasan) as supporting evidence (shawahid).

It is further supported by the hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri as transmitted by al-Bukhari in *al-Tarikh al-Kabir* 1/147, by Abu Ya'la in his *Musnad* (1096), by al-Tabarani in *al-Mu'jam al-Awsat* (4765), and from his path by Ibn Hajar in *Nata'ij al-Afkar* 2/109. In its chain is 'Abdullah ibn Sa'd al-Madani — Ibn Abi Hatim said in *al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil* 9/311: ['Abdullah ibn Abi Sa'id], and al-Bukhari said in *al-Tarikh*: 'Abdullah al-Madani — and we have not identified him clearly, and al-Bukhari did not cite its wording. Al-Hafiz said in *al-Talkhis al-Habir* 2/10: There is disagreement over whether it is connected (wasl) or interrupted (irsal), and al-Daraqutni in *al-'Ilal* deemed correct the narration of Hammad, from Humayd, from Bakr ibn 'Abdullah al-Muzani: that Abu Sa'id saw in a dream. We say: Bakr al-Muzani did not hear it from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, for al-Bayhaqi transmitted it 2/320 via the path of Hushaym, from Humayd, from Bakr ibn 'Abdullah, who said: One who informed me told me, from Abu Sa'id, with similar wording.

Bakr ibn 'Abdullah al-Muzani also narrated it as mursal (interrupted) according to al-Shafi'i in *al-Sunan al-Ma'thurah* (95), and 'Abd al-Razzaq in his *Musannaf* (5869) from Ibn 'Uyaynah, from 'Asim — 'Abd al-Razzaq said: Ibn Sulaiman, and al-Shafi'i said: Ibn Bahdalah — from Bakr ibn 'Abdullah al-Muzani: that a man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him... Whether it was Ibn Sulaiman the trustworthy or Ibn Bahdalah the veracious, the hadith is mursal, but it is strengthened by its multiple paths, and it strengthens the hadith of the author.
