• Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Bayhaqī

  رجال إسناد عبادة كلهم معروفون إلا الأسود بن ثعلبة فإنا لا نحفظ عنه إلا هذا الحديث وهو حديث مختلف فيه على عبادة وحديث ابن عباس وأبي سعيد أصح إسنادا منه

  machine translationAll the men of the chain of transmission of ʿUbādah are well known, except al-Aswad b. Thaʿlabah, for we do not know of anything from him except this hadith. It is a hadith in which there is disagreement regarding ʿUbādah, and the hadith of Ibn ʿAbbās and Abū Saʿīd is sounder in its chain of transmission than it. Report a problem
