أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْقَطَّانُ ( ح ) وَأَنْبَأَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُورٍ الدَّهَّانُ، ثَنَا أَبُو حَامِدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ بِلَالٍ الْبَزَّازُ، قَالَا: ثَنَا أَبُو الْأَزْهَرِ، ثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، ثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يُونُسَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ - ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - ﷺ:

مرسل أشبه لا يحتمل هذا الكلام يكون كلام النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقلت لأبي فسمع حبان من عقيل بن خالد قال نعم لا أعلم من العراقيين من سمع من عقيل إلا حبان بن علي أخو مندل ومخلد بن الحسين
machine translationIt is a mursal report (mursal) that is more likely correct; these words cannot be the words of the Prophet ﷺ. I said to my father: Did Ḥibbān hear from ʿUqayl b. Khālid? He said: Yes. I do not know of any of the Iraqis who heard from ʿUqayl except Ḥibbān b. ʿAlī, the brother of Mandal, and Mukhallad b. al-Ḥusayn.

يرويه أبو سلمة العاملي عن الزهري عن أنس وأبو سلمة هذا عندنا هو الحكم بن عبد الله بن خطاف وهو متروك الحديث وروي عن عباد بن كثير عن عقيل عن الزهري عن عبيد الله بن عبد الله عن ابن عباس والمحفوظ عن الزهري المرسل
machine translationAbū Salamah al-ʿĀmilī narrates it from al-Zuhrī, from Anas. This Abū Salamah, in our view, is al-Ḥakam b. ʿAbdillāh b. Khaṭṭāf, and he is abandoned in ḥadīth (matrūk al-ḥadīth). It is also narrated from ʿAbbād b. Kathīr, from ʿUqayl, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAbdillāh, from Ibn ʿAbbās. But what is preserved (maḥfūẓ) from al-Zuhrī is the mursal version.
