حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْعَتَكِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي سُهَيْلٍ نَافِعِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَبِي عَامِرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي فِي حَدِيثِ قِصَّةِ الأَعْرَابِيِّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ
أَفْلَحَ وَأَبِيهِ إِنْ صَدَقَ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَبِيهِ إِنْ صَدَقَ

What scholars said about it
In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
وأبيه لفظة منكرة تردها الآثار الصحاح وبالله التوفيق
machine translationThe phrase "by his father" is a rejected (munkar) expression, refuted by the authentic reports. And success is by Allah.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 3251 - Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
أفلح وأبيه إن صدق هذه اللفظة غير محفوظة وقد جاءت عن راويها وهو إسماعيل بن جعفر بلفظ أفلح والله إن صدق قال وهذا أولى من رواية من روى عنه بلفظ أفلح وأبيه لأنها لفظة منكرة تردها الآثار الصحاح ولم تقع في رواية مالك أصلا وزعم بعضهم أن بعض الرواة عنه صحف قوله وأبيه من قوله والله وهو محتمل ولكن مثل ذلك لا يثبت بالاحتمال
machine translationThe phrase "He has succeeded, by his father, if he is truthful" is not preserved (ghayr maḥfūẓ). It came from its narrator, Ismāʿīl b. Jaʿfar, in the wording "He has succeeded, by Allah, if he is truthful." He said: This is preferable to the narration of the one who narrated it from him with the wording "by his father," because that is a rejected (munkar) expression, refuted by the authentic reports, and it does not occur at all in the narration of Mālik. Some claimed that one of the narrators from him misread his words "by his father" from "by Allah," and that is possible, but such a thing is not established merely by possibility.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 3251 - أبو الوليد الباجي
رواية مالك أصح من رواية إسماعيل بن جعفر لأنه أحفظ وقد تابعه الرواة ولعل إسماعيل نقله بالمعنى
machine translationThe narration of Mālik is more sound (aṣaḥḥ) than the narration of Ismāʿīl b. Jaʿfar, because he is a better memorizer (aḥfaẓ) and the narrators corroborated him; and perhaps Ismāʿīl transmitted it by meaning.
