except that I want to forgive you for whatever was in you, and I do not mind.'" [Al-Ṭabarānī narrated it in his Al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr (2, hadith 1381). The hadith was authenticated by Ibn Kathīr, al-Haythamī, al-Mundhirī, al-Būṣīrī, and al-Suyūṭī, as previously mentioned in the Introduction. The hadith of Intercession has its origin in The two Sahihs from the hadith of Ḥammād b. Zayd, from Maʿbad. Al-Bukhārī narrated it (4476, 6565, and 7410), and Muslim (1/180) (322).]

• (1) The author narrated this hadith by way of al-Madīnī in Juzʾ fī Ḥadīth al-Istilqāʾ. Abū Mūsā al-Madīnī is the Hadith master of the East in his time, the author of compilations; he died in the year 581 AH, may Allah have mercy on him. Ibn al-Dubaythī said: "Abū Mūsā lived until he became the peerless figure of his time, and the Sheikh of his era in chains of transmission and memorization." [See: Al-Siyar (21/152)].
• (2) In the original manuscript: "al-Kūshandī," and what we have established is the correct form. See: Al-Ansāb (5/108), Al-Lubāb fī Tahdhīb al-Ansāb (3/118).
• (3) In Al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr (19 / hadith 18).
• (4) In the original manuscript: "ʿAbd Allāh," which is an error, and the correction is from the sources of hadith referencing.
