Chain: Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, companion of al-Harawī, whose name is ʿUbaydullāh ibn Ziyād → Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Khālid → ʿAbdullāh ibn Abī Awfā (may Allah be pleased with him). Rijāl: (1) Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ʿUbaydullāh ibn Ziyād: a narrator of limited biographical record in the rijāl dictionaries beyond this identifying note preserved in Musnad Aḥmad itself; his report here is supported by the several parallel chains of the same matn already given in the parallel chains above. (2) Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Khālid: Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Khālid al-Aḥmasī al-Bajalī (d. 146 AH); thiqah thabt. (3) Ibn Abī Awfā: ʿAbdullāh ibn Abī Awfā; Companion (Ṣaḥābī); one of the Companions of the Tree (Bayʿat al-Riḍwān) and the last Companion to die in Kūfah, 86–87 AH. Takhrīj: al-Bukhārī, Kitāb al-Manāqib (3820, 3821); Muslim (2432). Commentary: This is the fourth consecutive transmission in the Musnad of the same report concerning Khadījah’s glad tidings, each through a different companion of Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Khālid — a pattern reflecting how central and cherished this particular report was among the students of Ismāʿīl, who preserved it independently through multiple chains.
