Ahmad 6826

Its isnad is sahih. Abu Husayn, with fatha on the ha and kasra on the two undotted sa and sad, is Uthman bin Aasim al-Asadi al-Kufi, whose reliability was already established at 1024, and we add here that Ibn Saad gave his biography in al-Tabaqat 6:224, and Ibn Abu Hatim in al-Jarh wal-Tadil 3/1/160-161, and it is reported that Abdul-Rahman bin Mahdi said, "There are four in Kufa whose hadith is never disputed, and whoever disputes them is the one mistaken, not them," among them Abu Husayn. His reliability is also reported from Ahmad and Ibn Main.This hadith is a repetition of the one before it. Abu Naeem also related it in al-Hilyah 7:249, from al-Qutayi, from the Musnad, with this same isnad, and he said, "Waki alone related it from Masaar."
