  يرويه شعبة واختلف عنه فرواه قعنب بن محرز عن وهب بن جرير عن شعبة عن سلمة بن كهيل عن مجالد عن الشعبي عن أبيه عن علي ووهم فيه في موضعين قوله عن مجالد وإنما هو سلمة ومجالد وفي قوله عن الشعبي عن أبيه وإنما رواه الشعبي عن علي وكذلك رواه الحسين المروذي وغيره عن شعبة عن سلمة ومجالد عن الشعبي أنهما سمعاه يحدث عن علي ورواه عصام بن يوسف عن شعبة عن سلمة عن الشعبي عن ابن أبي ليلى عن علي وخالفه غندر رواه عن شعبة عن سلمة عن الشعبي عن علي وهو الصواب ذكر ذلك وكذلك رواه إسماعيل بن سالم وحصين عن الشعبي عن علي قلت سمع الشعبي من علي قال الشيخ سمع منه حرفا ما سمع غير هذا

  machine translationShuʿbah narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Qaʿnab b. Muḥriz narrated it from Wahb b. Jarīr, from Shuʿbah, from Salamah b. Kuhayl, from Mujālid, from al-Shaʿbī, from his father, from ʿAlī, and he erred in two places: in his saying "from Mujālid", when it is really Salamah and Mujālid; and in his saying "from al-Shaʿbī, from his father", when al-Shaʿbī narrated it from ʿAlī. Likewise al-Ḥusayn al-Marwadhī and others narrated it from Shuʿbah, from Salamah and Mujālid, from al-Shaʿbī, that the two of them heard him narrating from ʿAlī. ʿIṣām b. Yūsuf narrated it from Shuʿbah, from Salamah, from al-Shaʿbī, from Ibn Abī Laylā, from ʿAlī. Ghundar contradicted him, narrating it from Shuʿbah, from Salamah, from al-Shaʿbī, from ʿAlī, and this is the correct one; he mentioned that. Likewise Ismāʿīl b. Sālim and Ḥuṣayn narrated it from al-Shaʿbī, from ʿAlī. I said: Did al-Shaʿbī hear from ʿAlī? The Shaykh said: He heard one phrase from him; he heard nothing other than this. Report a problem
