• Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī

  صححه ابن خزيمة وابن حبان وقال الإسماعيلي هو صحيح على شرط البخاري كذا قال وكأنه لم يطلع على علته فقد اختلفوا في كون الزهري سمعه من سهل نعم أخرجه أبو داود وابن خزيمة أيضا من طريق أبي حازم عن سهل ولهذا الإسناد أيضا علة أخرى ذكرها ابن أبي حاتم وفي الجملة هو إسناد صالح لأن يحتج به

  machine translationIbn Khuzaymah and Ibn Ḥibbān graded it sound (ṣaḥīḥ). Al-Ismāʿīlī said: It is sound (ṣaḥīḥ) according to the criterion of al-Bukhārī. So he said, but it seems he was not aware of its defect (ʿillah), for they differed over whether al-Zuhrī heard it from Sahl. Yes, Abū Dāwūd and also Ibn Khuzaymah reported it through Abū Ḥāzim from Sahl. This chain also has another defect, which Ibn Abī Ḥātim mentioned. In sum, it is a chain fit to be used as evidence.

• Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

  وقد تقدم أن ابن شهاب لم يسمعه من سهل بن سعد وإنما رواه عن أبي حازم عن سهل بن سعد وهو حديث صحيح ثابت بنقل العدول والثقات له

  machine translationIt has already been mentioned that Ibn Shihāb did not hear it from Sahl b. Saʿd; rather he narrated it from Abū Ḥāzim, from Sahl b. Saʿd. It is a sound (ṣaḥīḥ) hadith, established by the transmission of upright and trustworthy (thiqāt) narrators. Report a problem
