  machine translational-Khaṭṭābī said: Some scholars have criticised the chain of transmission of this hadith, and claimed that it is not established from the Messenger of God ﷺ. Report a problem

• Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

  قال ابن عبد البر حديث بيع السنور لا يثبت رفعه

  machine translationIbn ʿAbd al-Barr said: The hadith on the sale of the cat is not established as attributed to the Prophet (marfūʿ). Report a problem

  in سنن أبي داود, p. 3478
• Abū Zakariyyā Yaḥyá b. Sharaf al-Nawawī

  ورد عليهما النووي فقال هذا غلط منهما فالحديث في صحيح مسلم بإسناد صحيح

  machine translational-Nawawī responded to them both and said: This is a mistake on their part, for the hadith is in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim with a sound (ṣaḥīḥ) chain. Report a problem

  in سنن أبي داود, p. 3478
• Abū Zakariyyā Yaḥyá b. Sharaf al-Nawawī

  وقول ابن عبد البر إنه لم يروه عن أبي الزبير غير حماد غلط أيضا فقد رواه مسلم في صحيحه من رواية معقل عن أبي الزبير فهذان ثقتان روياه عن أبي الزبير وهو ثقة

  machine translationAnd the statement of Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr that no one narrated it from Abū al-Zubayr other than Ḥammād is also a mistake, for Muslim narrated it in his Ṣaḥīḥ through the narration of Maʿqil from Abū al-Zubayr. So these two trustworthy (thiqah) narrators narrated it from Abū al-Zubayr, and he is trustworthy (thiqah). Report a problem
