• Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī

  الأعمش أحفظهم والحديث يحتمل أن يكون مرفوع وأنا أخشى ألا يكون سمع هذا الأعمش من مجاهد إن الأعمش قليل السماع من مجاهد وعامة ما يروي عن مجاهد مدلس

  machine translationAl-Aʿmash is the best memorizer among them, and the hadith may possibly be raised (marfūʿ). I fear that this al-Aʿmash did not hear it from Mujāhid, for al-Aʿmash heard little from Mujāhid, and most of what he narrates from Mujāhid is concealed (mudallas). Report a problem
