The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), and the two Shaykhs did not record it.

So the (other) said: I heard Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) say that the most comprehensive verse in the Qur'an for good and evil is in Surah al-Nahl: "Indeed, Allah commands justice, excellence and giving to relatives, and forbids indecency, wrongdoing and transgression. He admonishes you so that you may take heed." [Surah al-Nahl: 90] At this (the first) said: You have spoken the truth. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.

The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), and the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "We will surely cause him to live a good life."

Then he slipped and joined the disbelievers, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that he be killed on the day of the Conquest of Makkah. But Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) sought protection for him from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted him protection."

When he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What news do you bring?" He said: "Bad news, O Messenger of Allah! I was not released until I spoke ill of you and praised their gods." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "How do you find your heart?" He said: "At rest with faith." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If they do it again, then you too do it again." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "Only a human being teaches him. The tongue of the one they refer to is foreign, and this is a clear Arabic tongue." [Surah al-Nahl: 103] He said: "The idolaters used to say that the slave of Ibn al-Hadrami teaches Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was a man with knowledge of the scriptures. So Allah Almighty said: 'The tongue of the one they refer to (as his teacher) is foreign, and this (Qur'an) is a clear Arabic tongue.' [Surah al-Nahl: 103] And He further said: 'It is only those who do not believe in the signs of Allah who fabricate falsehood.'

It is narrated from Abdullah bin al-Zubayr al-Humaydi; he said: We were sitting with Sufyan bin Uyaynah in Masjid al-Khayf at Mina when suddenly a storyteller stood up and said: "Sufyan bin Uyaynah narrated to us from Ibn Tawus, from his father, from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both)," then he began telling a long story. Hearing this, Sufyan bin Uyaynah stood up and, leaning on his staff, said: "'It is only those who do not believe in the signs of Allah who fabricate falsehood.' [Surah al-Nahl: 105] I have never narrated this, nor do I know it."
