• • And testifying to the authenticity of this hadith are:

1- The hadith of Asmāʾ bt. ʿUmays from Jaʿfar, may God be pleased with them both.

Abū Usāma narrates it, from Zakariyyā b. Abī Zāʾida, from Abū Isḥāq, from Saʿīd b. Maʿbad, from Asmāʾ with it.

And its wording is: (So she said: I entrust you to the day the King sits upon the Footstool, and takes for the oppressed from the oppressor).

Al-Dārimī narrated it in Al-Naqḍ (95), Ibn Abī Shayba in Al-Muṣannaf (36677 / al-Rushd), Ibn Khuzayma in Al-Tawḥīd (152) using it as evidence, Ibn Abī Ḥātim in Al-ʿIlal (2171), al-Kharāʾiṭī in Masāwiʾ al-Akhlāq (634), al-Dhahabī in Al-ʿUluww (171), and Ibn al-Muḥibb in Al-Ṣifāt (1/88/b).

2- The hadith of Ibn Burayda from his father, may God be pleased with them both, narrated by: ʿAṭāʾ b. al-Sāʾib, from Muḥārib b. Dithār, from Ibn Burayda, from his father.

1- Manṣūr b. Abī al-Aswad; and its wording is: So she said: Woe to you on the day the King sets up His Footstool, and takes for the oppressed from the oppressor.

Then the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said in affirmation of her statement: "No nation is sanctified," or "How can a nation be sanctified wherein its weak cannot take their right from its strong without being hindered."

Abū Bakr b. Abī Shayba, Abū Yaʿlā, and al-Rūyānī narrated it in their Musnads. (*Al-Maṭālib
