al-Sunan al-Kubra (al-Bayhaqi) 5156

لا يصح عند أهل العلم بالحديث إنما يرويه جابر الجعفي عن الشعبي مرسلا وجابر الجعفي لا يحتج بشيء يرويه مسندا فكيف بما يرويه مرسلا

machine translationIt is not sound according to the scholars of hadith. It is only narrated by Jābir al-Juʿfī from al-Shaʿbī as a mursal report, and nothing that Jābir al-Juʿfī narrates with a connected chain (musnad) may be used as evidence, so how can what he narrates as mursal be? Report a problem

مرسل رواه جابر بن يزيد الجعفي وهو متروك عن الشعبي وقد رواه مجالد عن الشعبي ومجالد ضعيف

machine translationMursal: Jābir b. Yazīd al-Juʿfī, who is abandoned (matrūk), narrated it from al-Shaʿbī. Mujālid also narrated it from al-Shaʿbī, and Mujālid is weak (ḍaʿīf). Report a problem

مرسل

machine translationMursal (a report in which a Successor omits the Companion and attributes it directly to the Prophet ﷺ) Report a problem

هذا لو صح إسناده لكان مرسلا

machine translationEven if its chain were sound, it would be mursal. Report a problem

وهذا لو صح إسناده لكان مرسلا والمرسل عندنا وما لم يرو سيان لأنا لو قبلنا إرسال تابعي وإن كان ثقة للزمنا قبول مثله عن أتباع التابعين وإذا قبلنا لزمنا قبوله من أتباع أتباع التابعين ويؤدي ذلك إلى أن يقبل من كل أحد إذا قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وفي هذا نقض الشريعة والعجب أن أبا حنيفة يجرح جابرا الجعفي ويكذبه ثم لما اضطره الأمر جعل يحتج بحديثه وذلك كما أخبرنا به الحسين بن عبد الله بن يزيد القطان بالرقة ثنا أحمد بن أبي الحواري سمعت أبا يحيى الحماني سمعت أبا حنيفة يقول ما رأيت فيمن لقيت أفضل من عطاء ولا لقيت فيمن لقيت أكذب من جابر الجعفي ما أتيته بشيء من رأيي قط إلا جاءني فيه بحديث وقد ذكرنا ترجمة جابر الجعفي في كتاب الضعفاء

machine translationEven if its chain were sound, it would be mursal, and the mursal according to us is the same as what has not been narrated at all. For if we accepted the mursal report of a Follower (tābiʿī), even if he is trustworthy, we would be obliged to accept the like of it from the Followers of the Followers; and if we accepted that, we would be obliged to accept it from the followers of the Followers of the Followers. That would lead to accepting from anyone who says, "The Messenger of Allah ﷷ said." In this is the demolition of the Sharīʿah. And the strange thing is that Abū Ḥanīfah impugns Jābir al-Juʿfī and calls him a liar, then when the matter compelled him, he began to use his hadith as evidence. That is as al-Ḥusayn b. ʿAbdullāh b. Yazīd al-Qaṭṭān informed us in al-Raqqah: Aḥmad b. Abī l-Ḥawārī narrated to us: I heard Abū Yaḥyā al-Ḥimmānī say: I heard Abū Ḥanīfah say: Among those I met, I saw none better than ʿAṭāʾ, and among those I met, I met none more untruthful than Jābir al-Juʿfī; I never brought him anything of my own opinion except that he brought me a hadith about it. We have already mentioned the biography of Jābir al-Juʿfī in the Book of the Weak Narrators (al-Ḍuʿafāʾ). Report a problem

الحديث مرسل لا تقوم به حجة وفيه جابر الجعفي وهو متروك في روايته مذموم في رأيه

machine translationThe hadith is mursal and cannot be used as evidence. In it is Jābir al-Juʿfī, who is abandoned (matrūk) in his narration and criticised for his opinion. Report a problem
