[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The early time is the pleasure of Allah, and the later time is the forgiveness of Allah." Abu Sa'd informed us, "I am Abu Ahmad," and Muhammad ibn Harun ibn Humayd informed us, "Ahmad ibn Mani'i informed us," and Ya'qub ibn al-Walid informed us, from 'Ubaydullah, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar, from the Prophet ﷺ , similar to it. Abu Ahmad said, "This is what Ibn Humayd used to say to us, on the authority of 'Ubaydullah, and the correct narration is what Ibn Sa'id and Ibn Asbat transmitted, that this hadith with this chain of narrators is invalid if it is said to be from 'Abdullah or 'Ubaydullah." The Sheikh said, "This is a hadith known to be by Ya'qub ibn al-Walid al-Madani, and Ya'qub is accused of fabricated hadith, Yahya ibn Ma'in weakened him, and Ahmad ibn Hanbal and all the preservers rejected him and attributed him to innovation. We seek refuge in Allah from humiliation, and it is also narrated with other weak chains of narrators."
