Notes

• قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَقَدْ رَوَى مَنْصُورُ بْنُ الْمُعْتَمِرِ وَشُعْبَةُ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ مَنْ مَنَحَ مَنِيحَةَ وَرِقٍ إِنَّمَا يَعْنِي بِهِ قَرْضَ الدَّرَاهِمِ قَوْلُهُ أَوْ هَدَى زُقَاقًا يَعْنِي بِهِ هِدَايَةَ الطَّرِيقِ

  machine translationAbū ʿĪsā said: This is a good and sound (ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ), gharīb ḥadīth from the narration of Abū Isḥāq from Ṭalḥah b. Muṣarrif. We do not know it except through this route. Manṣūr b. al-Muʿtamir and Shuʿbah narrated this ḥadīth from Ṭalḥah b. Muṣarrif. On this topic there is also a narration from al-Nuʿmān b. Bashīr. The meaning of his saying "whoever gives a loan of silver (manaḥa manīḥata wariq)" is only the lending of dirhams. His saying "or guides a path (hadā zuqāqan)" means guiding someone along the road.
