Ahmad 535

Its isnad is sahih. His statement, "Umar bin Ubaydullah sent me," etc., is the correct wording found in manuscript ك. In manuscript ح, it reads "he narrated to me" instead of "he sent me," which is an error, since all the preceding narrations agree that the hadith comes from Nabih, from Aban bin Uthman, especially number 492, which states that Ibn Mamar sent Nabih bin Wahb to Aban bin Uthman inviting him to attend the marriage. In manuscript ه, it has both "he sent me" and "he narrated to me," which makes no sense, see what precedes it.As for his statement at the end of the hadith, "and Nabih narrated to me from his father something similar," it seems to me that Nabih, after hearing the hadith from Aban, was told it by his father Wahb, either from Uthman, or from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, because Wahb, the father of Nabih, is Wahb bin Uthman bin Abu Talha bin Abdul-Uzza bin Uthman bin Abdul-Dar bin Qusayy.The Hafiz mentioned him in Isabah, in the first section under the letter waw, that is, among the companions, 6/327, and mentioned that his father, meaning Uthman bin Abu Talha, was killed on the day of Uhud as a polytheist, so it is very likely that his son was a companion, or at least among the junior companions. This is a good addition from the Hafiz, for no one else, as far as I know, mentioned this Wahb among the companions, neither Ibn Saad, nor Ibn Abdul-Barr, nor Ibn Athir. The biography of this Wahb should be added as a supplement to the Hafiz's Tajil, since he did not mention him nor allude to him there.And it is quite clear that the one who says "and Nabih narrated to me from his father something similar" is Nafi, the freed slave of Ibn Umar.
