حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَرَفَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَنْعُمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " التَّسْبِيحُ نِصْفُ الْمِيزَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ يَمْلَؤُهُ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهَا دُونَ اللَّهِ حِجَابٌ حَتَّى تَخْلُصَ إِلَيْهِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَلَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِالْقَوِيِّ . وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَنْعُمٍ هُوَ الإِفْرِيقِيُّ وَقَدْ ضَعَّفَهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ هُوَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيُّ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Al-Hasan ibn ‘Arafah narrated to us; Isma‘il ibn ‘Ayyash narrated to us, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Ziyad ibn An‘um, from ‘Abd Allah ibn Yazid, from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amr, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Glorifying Allah fills half the Scale; praise be to Allah fills it; and there is no veil between “There is no god but Allah” and Allah until it reaches Him.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This is a gharib hadith through this route, and its chain is not strong. ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Ziyad ibn An‘um is al-Ifriqi; Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Yahya ibn Ma‘in considered him weak. ‘Abd Allah ibn Yazid is Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Hubuli.’

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَلَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِالْقَوِيِّ .
The Arabic states that the chain is not strong and identifies a narrator whom Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Yahya ibn Ma‘in considered weak; the English witness omits this evaluation.
Should al-Tirmidhi’s chain criticism and narrator identifications be retained with the witness?
