أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ حَمْدَانَ الزَّاهِدُ بِبَغْدَادَ ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْقَرَاطِيسِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْأَحْمَسِيُّ ثنا مُفَضَّلُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ حَنَشٍ الْكِنَانِيِّ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِبَابِ الْكَعْبَةِ مَنْ عَرَفَنِي فَأَنَا مَنْ عَرَفَنِي وَمَنْ أَنْكَرَنِي فَأَنَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «أَلَا إِنَّ مَثَلَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فِيكُمْ مَثَلُ سَفِينَةِ نُوحٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ مَنْ رَكِبَهَا نَجَا وَمَنْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهَا غَرِقَ» مفضل بن صالح واه

✧ I heard Abu Dharr saying while holding the door of the Ka'bah: 'Whoever knows me, I am who he knows; whoever does not know me, I am Abu Dharr. I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: "Indeed, the likeness of my household among you is like the ark of Noah among his people: whoever boards it is saved, and whoever stays behind drowns."' Mufaddal b. Salih is weak.

- ابن عدي
ولمفضل هذا غير ما ذكرت وكان سويد الأنباري يخطئ في اسم أبيه فيقول ابن عبد الله وهو ابن صالح وأنكر ما رأيت له حديث الحسن بن علي حيث قال له اكشف عن بطنك وسائره غير ذاك أرجو أن يكون مستقيما
machine translationThis Mufaḍḍal has other narrations besides what I mentioned. Suwayd al-Anbārī used to err in the name of his father, saying "Ibn ʿAbdullāh", when he is Ibn Ṣāliḥ. The most objectionable (munkar) thing I saw of his is the hadith of al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī, where he said to him: "Uncover your belly." The rest of his narrations are other than that; I hope that they are sound.
