- Dāraquṭnī
هذا حديث ضعيف الإسناد مجهول المتن ولا يصح في الباب حديث
machine translationThis ḥadīth has a weak (ḍaʿīf) chain and an unknown (majhūl) text, and no ḥadīth on this topic is authentic (ṣaḥīḥ).
in سنن أبي داود, p. 3119 - Ibn al-Qaṭṭān
حديث لا يصح لأن أبا عثمان هذا لا نعرفه ولا من روى عنه غير سليمان التيمي وإذا لم يكن هو معروفا فأبوه أبعد من أن يعرف
machine translationA ḥadīth that is not authentic (ṣaḥīḥ), because we do not know this Abū ʿUthmān, nor anyone who narrated from him other than Sulaymān al-Taymī; and if he is not known, then his father is even further from being known.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 3119 - Ibn al-Qaṭṭān
أعله بالاضطراب وبالوقف وبجهالة حال أبي عثمان وأبيه
machine translationHe found it defective (muʿall) due to inconsistency (iḍṭirāb), due to its being halted (mawqūf) at a Companion, and due to the unknown status (jahālah) of Abū ʿUthmān and his father.
