Azami 3015

Imam Ahmad narrated it through two paths, one through Harith bin Abdul-Rahman, from Muhammad bin Abdul-Rahman bin Thawban, from Abu Hurairah (8034), and Harith bin Abdul-Rahman, from Abu Salama, from Abu Hurairah (9712), and its chain is hasan due to Harith bin Abdul-Rahman Qurashi Amiri, for he is "truthful."Haythami said in Al-Majma, "Tabarani narrated it in Al-Kabir, and Ahmad, and its men are reliable."I say, one of the two men who did not prostrate was Umaya bin Khalaf, who was killed as a disbeliever, and the second man was perhaps Muttalib bin Abu Wada, for he said, "The Prophet ﷺ recited Surah Najm in Makkah and prostrated, and those with him prostrated, so I raised my head and refused to prostrate," and at that time Muttalib had not yet become Muslim.Nasai narrated it (958) through the path of Imam Ahmad, and it is in the Musnad (15465) from Ibrahim bin Khalid, who related to us from Rabah, from Mamar, from Ibn Tawus, from Ikrima bin Khalid, from Jafar bin Muttalib bin Abu Wada Sahmi, who said, and then he mentioned it. Imam Ahmad added, "And after that he never heard anyone recite it without prostrating."In its chain is Jafar bin Muttalib, whom no one but Ibn Hibban rated as reliable, and for this reason Hafiz said of him in At-Taqrib, "Acceptable," meaning if corroborated, otherwise the hadith is weak in this respect.As for what Abdul-Razzaq narrated in his Musannaf (5881), and from him Imam Ahmad (15464), and Tabarani in Al-Kabir (2/679), and Bayhaqi (2/314), from Mamar, from Ibn Tawus, from Ikrima bin Khalid, from Muttalib bin Abu Wada, it contains a break in the chain. For Ikrima bin Khalid did not hear directly from Muttalib bin Abu Wada, but rather heard it through the intermediary of his son Jafar, as mentioned previously.
