Ahmad 539

Its chain is daif, due to the anonymity of the narrator who saw Uthman. Abu Qasim bin Abu Zinad is trustworthy, and his kunyah is his name.Waqid bin Abdullah is al-Khalaqani al-Hanzali al-Tamimi al-Kufi, Abu Abdullah, the sheep seller, as Hafiz Iraqi confirmed. Hafiz Husaini was confused about this and thought he was Waqid bin Abdullah bin Abd Manaf al-Tamimi al-Hanzali, the early companion who witnessed Badr, Uhud, the Trench, and all the battles, and who died at the beginning of Umar's caliphate. This is a strange error, for which Hafiz criticized him in Tajil.This Waqid, the narrator here, is trustworthy. Ibn Abu Hatim mentioned him among the trustworthy narrators and said, "I asked my father about him, and he said, 'He is a sheikh whose standing is truthfulness.'" Bukhari gave him an entry in Tarikh al-Kabir, 4/2/173, and mentioned no criticism of him.Tamimi, in manuscripts ه and ح it reads "Taymi," which is a mistake, we have corrected it based on manuscript ك and the biographical references.This report is among the additions of Abdullah bin Ahmad.
