- Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal
ليس بمحفوظ وهذا من قبل عبيد الله بن أبي جعفر وهو منكر الأحاديث وكان فقيها وأما الحديث فليس هو فيه بذاك
in سنن أبي داود, p. 3302 - Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Bayhaqī
ورأيت بعض أصحابنا ضعف حديث عائشة بما روي عن عمارة بن عمير عن امرأة عن عائشة في امرأة ماتت وعليها الصوم قالت يطعم عنها قال وروي من وجه آخر عن عائشة أنها قالت لا تصوموا عن موتاكم وأطعموا عنهم ثم قال وفيهما نظر ولم يزد عليه
machine translationI saw some of our companions declare the ḥadīth of ʿĀʾishah weak (ḍaʿīf) on the basis of what is narrated from ʿUmārah b. ʿUmayr, from a woman, from ʿĀʾishah, concerning a woman who died owing fasts: she said, "Food should be given on her behalf." He said: And it is narrated by another route from ʿĀʾishah that she said, "Do not fast on behalf of your dead, but feed on their behalf." Then he said: "There is some doubt about both of them," and he added nothing to that.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 3302 - Dāraquṭnī
وقال الدارقطني إسناده حسن
machine translationAl-Dāraquṭnī said: its chain of transmission is good (ḥasan).
in سنن أبي داود, p. 3302 - Ishbīlī
وعلله بعضهم بالاختلاف في إسناده ولا يضر لأن الذين أسندوه ثقات
machine translationSome of them gave as its defect the disagreement over its chain of transmission, but that does no harm, because those who transmitted it with a connected chain (musnad) are trustworthy (thiqāt).
