Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
No authentic Marfu‘ has been reported regarding this matter. Rather, it was narrated with a weak chain of transmission on the authority of Anas, as reported by Ibn Asakir from Aban ibn Abi Ayyash, who is considered abandoned (matruk). It was also reported as Mawquf and Maqtu‘. The narration from Anas in Ibn Abi al-Dunya's chain of transmission includes Nafi‘ Abu Hurmuz, who is very weak. It was also reported as a saying of Sufyan ibn Uyaynah, Al-, and Abu Mushir, in Maqtu‘ form.
