Ibn Abu Shayba (24368) narrated it from Mulazim bin Amr, from Ujayba bin Abdul-Hameed, from his uncle Qays bin Talq, from his father Talq bin Ali, who said, then he mentioned it. Tabarani (8256) also narrated it through the route of Ibn Abu Shayba. Haythami attributed it to Tabarani in al-Majmu (5/65) and said, "It contains Ujayba bin Abdul-Hameed. Dhahabi said, He is barely known, and the rest of its men are trustworthy."I say, this statement of Dhahabi is in al-Mizan, and Hafiz confirmed it in al-Lisan, but both of them missed Ibn Main's verification of him, as found in the narration of Uthman Darimi from him (488), and Ibn Abu Hatim narrated it from him in al-Jarh wal-Tadil (7/42). Ajli also verified him as trustworthy in his Thiqat (1113). Likewise Ibn Hibban mentioned him in al-Thiqat (7/307), but he thought he was a woman, so he gave his entry as "Ujayba bint Abdul-Hameed bin Uqba bin Talq bin Ali al-Hanafi." The conclusion is that he does not fall below the rank of saduq. So the chain is hasan on account of this Ujayba and his teacher Qays bin Talq.As for his saying, "So drink whatever pleases you," this applies if it is not intoxicating. As for the intoxicant, no, because the prohibition against it had already been given.Waqidi said, Hisham bin Muhammad bin Saaib Kalbi informed us, he said, Abu Shaghb Ikrisha bin Arbad Absi and a number of the Banu Abs told me, they said, Nine men from the Banu Abs came as a delegation to the Messenger of Allah, and they were among the earliest emigrants. Among them were Maysara bin Masruq, Harith bin Rabi (who was called al-Kamil), Qinan bin Darim, Bishr bin Harith bin Abada, Hadam bin Masada, Sibaa bin Zayd, Abul-Hasin bin Luqman, Abdullah bin Malik, and Farwa bin Husayn bin Fadala. They embraced Islam, and the Messenger of Allah prayed for them for good, and said, "Find me a man to be your leader of ten, so that I may tie a banner for you." So Talha bin Ubaydullah came forward, and he tied a banner for them and made their rallying cry, "O ten."He said, Muhammad bin Umar informed us, he said, Ammar bin Abdullah bin Abs Duayli told me, from Urwa bin Udhayna al-Laythi, who said, Word reached the Messenger of Allah that a caravan of Quraysh had come from Syria, so he sent the Banu Abs on a raiding expedition and tied a banner for them. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, how shall we divide the spoils if we obtain any, seeing that we are nine?" He said, "I am your tenth." The governors thereafter made the greatest banner the banner of the community, while the imam over the Banu Abs had no separate flag of his own.He said, Muhammad bin Umar informed us, he said, Ali bin Muslim al-Laythi told me, from Maqburi, from Abu Hurairah, who said, Three men from the Banu Abs came to the Messenger of Allah and said, "Our reciters came to us and told us that there is no Islam for one who does not emigrate. We have wealth and livestock that are our livelihood. So if there is no Islam for one who does not emigrate, we will sell them and emigrate." The Messenger of Allah said, "Fear Allah wherever you are, for that will not diminish anything of your deeds at all, even if you were in Samad and Jazan." He then asked them about Khalid bin Sinan, and they said, "He left no descendants." So he said, "A prophet whom his people let go to waste." Then he began telling his companions the story of Khalid bin Sinan.Ibn Saad recorded it in al-Tabaqat (1/295–296) from Waqidi, who is the one accused of unreliability. His statement in it, "A caravan of Quraysh had come from Syria...," indicates that this occurred before the conquest of Makkah, and some of its passages contain oddities.
