This hadith below goes hand in hand with the previous hadith I posted thus, further strengthening each other and confirming one another.

This hadith is reported authentically from the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) via the companion Maysara al Fajar:

“I asked: "O Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), when were you [first] a Prophet?" He replied: "When Allah ﷻ created the earth ‘Then he turned to the heaven, and fashioned it as seven heavens’(recited this S2:V29), and created the Throne,

He wrote on the pillar of the Throne(Arsh) :

"Muhammad the Messenger of Allah is the Seal of Prophets" (Muhammadun Rasûlullâhi Khâtamu al-Anbiyâ').

Then Allah ﷻ created the Garden in which He made Adam and Hawwa (Peace be upon them)' dwell, and He wrote my name (The kalimah)

on the gates, its tree-leaves, its domes and tents, at a time when Adam (Peace be upon him) was still between the spirit and the body. When Allah ﷻ Most High instilled life into him he looked at the Throne and saw my name, whereupon Allah ﷻ informed him that

'He [Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)] is the master of all your descendants.' When Satan deceived them both, they repented and sought intercession (shafa‘a) to Allah ﷻ with my name."

Authentication from scholars and of chain of narrators:

1) Imam Muhammad bin Yusuf al-Salihi (student of Imam al-Hafidh As-Suyuti) said:

وروى ابن الجوزي بسند جيد لا بأس به

Translation: This hadith is narrated by Ibn Jawzi (rah) and the chain of it is “STRONG” and there is nothing wrong in it [Subul al-Hadi wal Rashhad, Volume No.1, Page No. 86 – Dar ul Kutb al iLmiyyah]

2) Shaykh `Abd ALLAH al-Ghumari cited it in Murshid al-Ha‟ir li Bayan Wad` Hadith Jabir and said, "its chain is good and strong" while in al-Radd al-Muhkam al-Matin (p. 138-139) he adds: "It is the strongest Companion and corroboration (shâhid)

I saw for the hadith of `Abd
al-Rahman Ibn Zayd" as quoted also by Shaykh Mahmud Mamduh in Raf` al-Minara (p. 248)."

3) Hafidh Ibn Hajar [rahimahullah] has stated concerning another completely different narration which has the very same chain of narrators as this hadith,

that this chain of narrators is strong. (Al-Raddul Muhkamul Mateen pgs.138-139; al-Ahaadeethul Muntaqaa pg.14, both of Shaykh Abdullah Siddique al-Ghumari).

Thus proving this hadith with the same chain as also being strong and sahih.

4) Ibn Taymiyyah said:

فهذا الحديث يؤيد الذي قبله وهما كالتفسير للأحاديث الصحيحة

Translation: This hadith corresponds to the hadith mentioned before (i.e. hadith of Umar ibn ul Khattab) These two are like the explanations (tafsir)

of the authentic (Sahih) ahadith [Majmua al Fatawa, 2/150] Imam al Alawai al Makki said: This indicates that Ibn Taymiyya found the hadith sound enough to be considered a witness for other narrations (salih li al-istishhad wa al-i`tibar),

because the forged (al-mawdu`) and the false (al-batil) are not taken as witness by the people of hadith.

5) Ibn Jawzi in Al Wafa bi Ahwaal lil Mustafa, Page No. 26, Published by Dar ul Kutab al Ilmiyyah

Authentication of chain:

Below is a review of this specific chain which will show and prove that all of the men are thiqat (trustworthy). The chain as mentioned before is:

Abu Ja‘far Muhammad Ibn 'Amru, Ahmad Ibn Is-haq Ibn Salih, Muhammad Ibn Salih, Muhammad
Ibn Sinan Al-'Awaqi, Ibrahim Ibn Tahman from Budayl Ibn Maysarah from Abdullah Ibn Shaqiq
from Maysarah.

1) Abu Ja‘far Muhammad Ibn 'Amru is Ibn Bakhtari Ar-Razzaz. In his tarjamah in Tarikh Al Baghdad (by Hafidh Khateeb Baghdadi) it states, ثبت ثقة ,Thiqah (highly trustworthy) and established.
[3/132]

2) Ahmad Ibn Is-haq Ibn Salih. He is Abu Bakr Al Wazan. In Tarikh Al Baghdad in his tarjamah it states, قٚصذ ,Honest/Truthful. [4/28].

Daraqutni says that there is no problem with him (la ba`asa bihi,
as stated by Shaykh Haddad in his notes on this hadith)

3) Muhammad Ibn Salih could be one of two people. The first is Muhammad Ibn Salih, Abu Bakr Al
Anmati known as Kilajah. Ibn Hajr states about him in his Taqrib, "Thiqah, Hafith (highly
trustworthy and a master of hadith)."

It also could be Muhammad Ibn Salih Al-Wasiti Ka‘b Ath-'Thira‘a. In his tarjamah in Tarikh Al Baghdad (5/360) it states, "Thiqah" .

Thus, the plausibility of this Muhammad Ibn Salih being either of the two men is of no harm considering the fact that they are both thiqah (trustworthy) in Hadith.

4) Muhammad Ibn Sinan Al 'Uqi. Ibn Hajr states about him in his Taqrib ―ثبت ثقة "thiqah" highly
trustworthy and established). Bukhari reports from him directly, 29 hadith (he is the shaykh of ImamBukhari). Ibn Ma'in, Ad-Daraqutni, Muslimah and others declared him Thiqah.

5) Ibrahim Ibn Tahman Al-Khurasani. Ibn Hajr mentions in his Tahthib At-Tahthib that Imams
Ahmad, Abu Hatim, Abu Dawud, Ad-Darimi, and others deem him Thiqah. Ibn Al Mubarak says,
"Sahih in Hadith".[Entry 231 of Vol. 1 Page 85 published by Dar Al Ihya].

He is a narrator in the two
sahihs of Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim.

The rest of the reporters are known as thiqah to anyone having the slightest familiarity with the
sciences of hadith.
