And from Anas, [recorded] by Ibn Abī Ḥātim in *al-ʿIlal*, 2/342. Its chain of transmission is very weak, and Abū Ḥātim said: It is munkar (rejected).

And from Abū Qatādah, [recorded] by Ibn Abī Ḥātim, 2/343, and Ibn ʿAdī in the biography of Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Maysarah in *al-Kāmil*, 1/181. Its chain of transmission is very weak.

And the soundest thing on this topic is what was related from al-Shaʿbī as a mursal (incomplete chain) report, [recorded] by Abū Dāwūd in *al-Marāsīl* (511), and its narrators are trustworthy.

And al-Ḥāfiẓ al-Sakhāwī said in *al-Maqāṣid al-Ḥasanah*, p. 34, after mentioning its paths and declaring them defective: "By these paths the ḥadīth is strengthened, even though its individual reports are, as we have indicated, weak. For this reason, our shaykh and his shaykh—may God have mercy on them both—criticized the ruling that it is fabricated (mawḍūʿ)."
