سنن أبي داود#4424Sahih

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْغَنِيِّ بْنُ أَبِي عَقِيلٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ - قَالَ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ فَسَأَلْتُ سِمَاكًا عَنِ الْكُثْبَةِ فَقَالَ اللَّبَنُ الْقَلِيلُ ‏.‏

Shu’bah said:I asked Simak about the meaning of KUTHBAH. He said: A small quantity of milk

Scholarly Authentication

The label above is the grade most of these scholars gave, each scholar counted once — one dissenting opinion no longer speaks for all of them. If any scholar calls a narration fabricated, that verdict is shown instead, whatever the others say. When they judged only its chain of narrators (“Isnaad”), the label says “Sound chain”. Each scholar's own wording:

Al-AlbaniSahih Maqtu
Zubair Ali ZaiIsnaad Hasan

Our source also lists this ruling under Muhammad Muhyi Al-Din Abdul Hamid, the editor of the printed edition it was taken from. It is al-Albani's ruling printed again, so it is counted once.
