  هذا حديث حسن ثم قال في آخره وعبد الله بن عقيل ضعيف فكيف يكون الحديث حسنا ومداره على ضعيف كما يزعم

  machine translationThis is a good (ḥasan) hadith. Then at the end he said: "ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAqīl is weak (ḍaʿīf)." So how can the hadith be good when it revolves around a weak narrator, as he claims? Report a problem
