Notes
✧ The ruler said, "I do not doubt that the two Shaykhs abandoned this hadith because some of Al-Zuhri's companions stopped it. This is a type of hadith that is not typically subject to such reasoning, and Allah knows best."
قَالَ الْحَاكِمُ «لَسْتُ أَشُكُّ أَنَّ الشَّيْخَيْنِ تَرَكَا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ لَتَوْقِيفِ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ الزُّهْرِيِّ إِيَّاهُ هَذَا مِمَّا لَا يُعَلِّلُ مِثْلَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ»
