قول الترمذي إن هذا الحديث أحسن شيء في هذا الباب ليس كذلك بل هو أقبح حديث في ذلك الباب لأن كثير بن عبد الله المذكور لا تحل الرواية عنه بتخريج الأئمة له
machine translationAl-Tirmidhī's statement that this ḥadīth is the best thing on this topic is not so; rather it is the worst ḥadīth on that topic, because Kathīr b. ʿAbdullāh mentioned is one from whom narration is not permissible, given the imams' criticism of him.
