- Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Bayhaqī
هذا إن صح فإنما أراد والله أعلم وقوع الكفاية بها في الإتيان بالمأمور
machine translationIf this is sound, then what was meant, and God knows best, is that it suffices for carrying out what was commanded.
in سنن البيهقي الكبرى, p. 3493 - Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
سمعت هذا الحديث من إسماعيل قال لا ولكن حدثني بعض أصحابنا عنه وأنكر هذا الحديث جدا وقال ليس لهذا الكلام أصل ولم أعرف هذا الكلام عن أحد حتى رأيت الآن الليث عن ابن عجلان عن القعقاع ابن حكيم قوله هذا الكلام
machine translationI heard this hadith from Ismāʿīl. He said: No, rather some of our companions narrated it to me from him. And he strongly denied this hadith and said: This statement has no basis, and I did not know this statement from anyone until I now saw al-Layth, from Ibn ʿAjlān, from al-Qaʿqāʿ b. Ḥakīm, giving this statement as his own saying.
