Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. Wāṣil al-Muṭṭawwiʿī Bibīkand from my father > Muḥammad b. Ismāʿīl > Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal > Isḥāq b. Manṣūr al-Salūlī > Muḥammad b. Sulaymān al-ʿAbdī > Hārūn b. Saʿd > ʿImrān b. Ẓabyān > Abū Yaḥyá

The passage translates to: "Ali heard someone swear, 'By Allah, the Exalted has sent down the name of Abu Bakr from the heavens as 'Siddiq' (the truthful).' If it were not for the ignorance of Muhammad ibn Sulaiman al-Saeedi, I would have judged this chain of narration as authentic. There is also supporting evidence in the hadith of al-Nazzal ibn Sabra from Ali. If it were not for the ignorance of Muhammad ibn Sulaiman al-Saeedi, the teacher of Ishaq al-Sululi, I would have judged it as authentic."
