• al-Bukhari

  حديث سفيان أصح من حديث شعبة وأخطأ شعبة في مواضع فقال حجر أبي العنبس وإنما هو حجر بن العنبس ويكنى أبا السكن وزاد فيه علقمة وإنما هو حجر عن أبي وائل وقال خفض بها صوته وإنما هو مد بها صوته

  machine translationThe hadith of Sufyān is more authentic than the hadith of Shuʿbah. Shuʿbah made mistakes in several places. He said "Ḥujr Abū al-ʿAnbas", but it is only Ḥujr b. al-ʿAnbas, whose kunyah is Abū al-Sakan. He added ʿAlqamah, but it is only Ḥujr from Abū Wāʾil. And he said "he lowered his voice with it", but it is only "he extended his voice with it". Report a problem

• Badr al-Dīn al-ʿAynī

  تخطئة مثل شعبة خطأ وكيف وهو أمير المؤمنين في الحديث وقوله هو حجر بن العنبس وليس بأبي العنبس ليس كما قاله بل هو أبو العنبس حجر بن العنبس وجزم به ابن حبان في الثقات فقال كنيته كاسم أبيه وقول محمد يكنى أبا السكن لا ينافي أن تكون كنيته أيضا أبا العنبس لأنه لا مانع أن يكون لشخص كنيتان وقوله وزاد فيه علقمة لا يضر لأن الزيادة من الثقة مقبولة ولا سيما من مثل شعبة وقوله وقال وخفض بها صوته وإنما هو ومد بها صوته

  machine translationTo declare a man like Shuʿbah mistaken is itself a mistake, and how could it not be, when he is the Commander of the Believers in ḥadīth. His statement that he is Ḥujr b. al-ʿAnbas and not Abū l-ʿAnbas is not as he said; rather he is Abū l-ʿAnbas Ḥujr b. al-ʿAnbas, and Ibn Ḥibbān asserted this in al-Thiqāt, saying: his kunyah is the same as his father's name. And the statement of Muḥammad that he is called Abū l-Sakan does not contradict his also having the kunyah Abū l-ʿAnbas, since nothing prevents a person from having two kunyahs. As for his statement that he added ʿAlqamah in it, this does no harm, because an addition from a trustworthy (thiqah) narrator is accepted, especially from one like Shuʿbah. And his statement that he said "and he lowered his voice with it", whereas it is rather "and he extended his voice with it". Report a problem

  ليس فيه اضطراب بل هى رواية راجحة ردا على الأحناف

  machine translationThere is no inconsistency (iḍṭirāb) in it; rather it is the preponderant report, in reply to the Ḥanafīs. Report a problem
