Musnad Ahmad 21183

In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.

• أبو زرعة الرازي

  حديث الثوري أصح عن أبي وهو أحفظهم وأعلى من هؤلاء بدرجات والحديث بأبي أشبه إذ كان قد رواه عاصم عن زر عن أبي عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وليس لحذيفة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في المعوذتين معنى

  machine translationThe hadith of al-Thawrī from Ubayy is more sound (aṣaḥḥ); he is the best memorizer among them and is higher than these by several degrees. The hadith is more fitting as from Ubayy, since ʿĀṣim narrated it from Zirr, from Ubayy, from the Prophet ﷺ, and Ḥudhayfah has nothing from the Prophet ﷺ concerning the two Muʿawwidhatayn that carries any weight.

  هو في الصحيح خلا حكهما من المصحف رواه أحمد والطبراني ورجال أحمد رجال الصحيح
