Notes
- (1) Hadith 156- It is an abridgment of what precedes it: 155.
- (2) Report 157- Sahih chain of transmission. Muhammad ibn Sinan al-Qazzaz, the sheikh of al-Tabari: they spoke against him because of a single hadith. The truth is that there is no harm in him, as al-Daraqutni said. He has a biography in al-Tahdhib, and a good biography in Tarikh Baghdad 5:343–346. Abu 'Asim: he is al-Nabil, al-Dahhak ibn Makhlad, the Hadith master, the proof. Shabib: he is Ibn Bishr al-Bajali; it occurred in al-Tahdhib 4:306 as "al-Halabi", which is a typographical error, its correct form being in al-Tarikh al-Kabir by al-Bukhari 2/2/232–233, al-Jarh wa-al-Ta'dil by Ibn Abi Hatim 2/1/357–358, al-Taqrib, and elsewhere; he is trustworthy, Ibn Ma'in declared him trustworthy.
- (3) Report 158- Its chain of transmission is Hasan at least, because 'Ata' ibn al-Sa'ib's memory deteriorated at the end of his life, and Qays ibn al-Rabi' is an early narrator; perhaps he heard from him before his confusion, but we have not ascertained that through explicit evidence. A mistake occurred in this chain of transmission in the printed edition: "Mus'ab narrated to us", and its correct form from the manuscript is "Muhammad ibn Mus'ab narrated to us", who is al-Qirqisani, as preceded in chain 154.
- (4) Report 159- Its chain of transmission is Hasan like the one before it. Abu Ahmad al-Zubayri: he is Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr al-Asadi, one of the major trustworthy narrators, among the sheikhs of Ahmad ibn Hanbal and other Hadith masters. Qays: he is Ibn al-Rabi'. These three reports 157–159, whose wording is identical, were mentioned by Ibn Kathir 1:44 as a single report without a chain of transmission. Al-Suyuti mentioned them in al-Durr al-Manthur 1:13 as a single report and attributed it to "al-Firyabi, 'Abd ibn Humayd, Ibn Jarir, Ibn al-Mundhir, and Ibn Abi Hatim—who authenticated it—on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas."
