Musnad Ahmad 21893

Translation

✧ That Ma'iz b. Malik was under his care. When he committed adultery, he said to him: 'Go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and tell him.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him when he met him: 'O Hazzal, if you had concealed him with your garment, it would have been better than what you did to him.'

  machine translationIn its chain is Hishām b. Saʿd al-Makhzūmī al-Madanī. Yaḥyā said of him once: "He is nothing"; another time: "He is not that strong"; and another time: "weak (ḍaʿīf)". It is said that Yaḥyā al-Qaṭṭān would not write down from him. Aḥmad said: "He is not firm in ḥadīth." Al-Nasāʾī said: "weak (ḍaʿīf)." Abū Ḥātim said: "He is not to be used as proof." Ibn ʿAdī said: "Despite his weakness, his ḥadīth is written down." Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Ḥākim said: "lenient (layyin)", and said: "Muslim used him as proof." ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq said: "This is a chain that is not to be used as proof." Report a problem
