It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I was shown what my Ummah will face after me, and their shedding of one another's blood, and this had already been decreed by Allah just as it was in the nations before. So I asked Allah to grant me the right of intercession for them on the Day of Resurrection, and Allah granted it." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it. The hidden defect ('illah) in it, in their view, was that Abu al-Yaman narrated it in two ways: once he said "Shu'ayb from al-Zuhri from Anas", and another time he said "Shu'ayb from Ibn Abi Husayn from Anas". We have already stated that there is nothing objectionable in an imam having a hadith from two teachers, narrating it sometimes from one and sometimes from the other. And Abu al-Yaman himself clarified: This hadith is in fact al-Zuhri's hadith, and what I narrated from Ibn Abi Husayn was my mistake, caused by a leaf that I turned over. Imam al-Hakim said: This clarification is perfectly clear and acceptable, because Ibrahim bin Hani is trustworthy (thiqah) and reliable.
