Technical note / Defect ('illah): (1) In the handwritten manuscripts this name has been corrupted and written as "Hazm".

Grading: (2) Its chain is weak because of Dawud bin Yazid, who is al-Awdi.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): He dropped the intermediary between Simak and Khalid, and that intermediary is "Muhammad bin Harb" (Simak's brother). His brother Simak is alone in narrating from this Muhammad; Imam Muslim narrated part of a hadith from him, al-Nasa'i declared him trustworthy, and Ibn Hibban mentioned him in "al-Thiqat". See al-Daraqutni's "al-'Ilal" (3330).

Technical note / Defect ('illah): Simak bin Harb narrated from Khalid bin Jarir, and some narrators insert Simak's brother (Muhammad) between him and Simak, as Ibn Abi Hatim said. He (Ibn Abi Hatim) and al-Bukhari mentioned neither praise nor criticism of Khalid bin Jarir, but Ibn Hibban mentioned him in "al-Thiqat".

Reference / Source: Al-Bukhari narrated it in "al-Tarikh al-Kabir" (3/142), al-Tahawi in "Sharh Ma'ani al-Athar" (3/159), al-Tabarani in "al-Kabir" (2398) and al-Khatib in "al-Muttafiq wa'l-Muftariq" (534) through the route of Makki bin Ibrahim, and al-Tabarani in "al-Kabir" (2397) through the route of al-Sabbah bin Muharib, both of them from Dawud bin Yazid al-Awdi, with this same chain.

Technical note / Defect ('illah): Ibrahim bin Tahman contradicted Dawud in his "Mashyakhah" (14), and through his route al-Daraqutni in "al-'Ilal" (3330) and Ibn Shahin in "Nasikh al-Hadith" (526) narrated it: he narrated it from Simak, from his brother Muhammad bin Harb, from Ibn Jarir, from his father. Al-Daraqutni said: "This is the correct one."

Note / Clarification: Ibn Shahin said after it: "This hadith is gharib; I do not know that Simak narrated anything from his brother except this, and this Ibn Jarir's name is Khalid bin Jarir."
