- Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī
قال الدارقطني أبو النضر لم يسمع من ابن أبي أوفى وإنما رواه عن كتابه فهو حجة في رواية المكاتبة قلت ابن حجر فلا علة فيه
machine translationAl-Dāraquṭnī said: Abū al-Naḍr did not hear from Ibn Abī Awfā; rather he narrated it from his written document (kitāb), and so it is valid evidence (ḥujjah) as a narration by written correspondence (mukātabah). I (Ibn Ḥajar) say: so there is no defect in it.
