جابر ضعيف وقد اختلف عنه فأرسله الحكم بن عبد الله أبو مطيع عن إبراهيم بن طهمان عن جابر عن عطاء وهو أشبه بالصواب
machine translationJābir is weak (ḍaʿīf), and there is disagreement about his narration: al-Ḥakam b. ʿAbdullāh Abū Muṭīʿ related it as a mursal report from Ibrāhīm b. Ṭahmān, from Jābir, from ʿAṭāʾ, and that is closer to being correct.
