[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the people of Quraysh one day, "Is there anyone among you besides yourselves?" They said, "Our cousin, Utbah ibn Ghazwan." He said, "The cousin of a people is considered one of them." Mentioning Utbah ibn Ghazwan in this hadith is very unusual and it has many virtues. This is why his virtues and narrations from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ are abundant. We have written a hadith about it that we found very surprising. Although it is not a condition for its inclusion in this book, its chain has some obscurities.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمًا لِقُرَيْشٍ «هَلْ فِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ؟» قَالُوا ابْنُ أُخْتِنَا عُتْبَةُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ ابْنَ أُخْتِ الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُمْ» ذِكْرُ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ غَرِيبٌ جِدًّا وَفَضَائِلُهُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَهَذَا مِنْ أَجْلٍ فَضَائِلِهِ وَمَسَانِيدُ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَزِيزَةٌ وَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ حَدِيثًا اسْتَغْرَبْنَاهُ جِدًّا فَأَنَا ذَاكِرَةٌ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الْغَلَابِيُّ مِنْ شَرْطِ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ إسناده مظلم
