Everything in this book that is narrated from Abu Maryam Al-Ansari has been transmitted by me from my father - may Allah سبحانه وتعالى be pleased with him - from Sa'd ibn Abdullah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn 'Isa, from Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Fudalah ibn Ayyub, from Aban ibn 'Uthman, from Abu Maryam.
