‘Abbas ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azim al-‘Anbari and more than one other narrator said: Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi narrated to us: ‘Imran al-Qattan narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Sa‘id ibn Abi al-Hasan, from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet, who said: ‘Nothing is more honored by Allah, Exalted is He, than supplication.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is hasan gharib. We know it as a Prophetic report only through the narration of ‘Imran al-Qattan. ‘Imran al-Qattan was Ibn Dawar, and his kunyah was Abu al-‘Awwam. Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi narrated to us, from ‘Imran al-Qattan, with this chain, something similar.
