  يرويه جعفر بن محمد واختلف عنه فرواه ابن جريج عن جعفر بن محمد عن أبيه عن علي بن الحسين عن ابن عباس عن معاوية وتابعه الثوري من رواية أبي أحمد الزبيري عنه قال ذلك محمد بن علي بن محرز الكوفي عن أبي أحمد وخالفه المقدمي والفضل بن سهل الأعرج فروياه عن أبي أحمد ولم يذكروا فيه علي بن الحسين وحديث ابن جريج أشبه بالصواب

  machine translationJaʿfar b. Muḥammad narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Ibn Jurayj narrated it from Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad, from his father, from ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn, from Ibn ʿAbbās, from Muʿāwiyah. Al-Thawrī followed him in this, in the narration of Abū Aḥmad al-Zubayrī from him; Muḥammad b. ʿAlī b. Miḥraz al-Kūfī said that from Abū Aḥmad. Al-Muqaddamī and al-Faḍl b. Sahl al-Aʿraj contradicted him, and they narrated it from Abū Aḥmad without mentioning ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn in it. The ḥadīth of Ibn Jurayj is closer to being correct. Report a problem
