- Ibn al-Qaṭṭān
هو من رواية أبي الزبير عن جابر معنعنا من غير رواية الليث عنه وهو علة ومع ذلك فهو من رواية إسماعيل بن مسلم المكي عن أبي الزبير وهو ضعيف جدا
machine translationIt is from the narration of Abū al-Zubayr from Jābir with the ambiguous "from" (muʿanʿan), not from the narration of al-Layth from him, and that is a defect. Moreover, it is from the narration of Ismāʿīl b. Muslim al-Makkī from Abū al-Zubayr, and he is very weak (ḍaʿīf jiddan).
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 2843 - Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī
كأن الموقوف أصح وبه جزم النسائي
machine translationIt seems the mawqūf version is more sound, and al-Nasāʾī was definitive about that.
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 2843 - Dāraquṭnī
لا يصح رفعه وقد روي عن شريك عن أبي الزبير مرفوعا ولا يصح
machine translationIts attribution to the Prophet (raf') is not sound. It has been narrated from Sharīk, from Abū al-Zubayr, as raised to the Prophet (marfūʿ), but that is not sound.
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 2843 - al-Tirmidhi
هذا حديث قد اضطرب الناس فيه فرواه بعضهم عن أبي الزبير عن جابر مرفوعا ورواه أشعث بن سوار وغير واحد عن أبي الزبير عن جابر موقوفا وكأن الموقوف أصح
machine translationThis is a hadith about which the people differed. Some narrated it from Abū al-Zubayr, from Jābir, as marfūʿ. Ashʿath b. Sawwār and more than one other narrated it from Abū al-Zubayr, from Jābir, as mawqūf. It seems the mawqūf version is more sound.

الموقوف أولى بالصواب
machine translationThe mawqūf version is more likely to be correct.
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 2843 - Dāraquṭnī
اختلف في رفع الحديث على عطاء فرفعه عنه ابن الصباح ووقفه محمد بن إسحاق رواه عن عطاء عن جابر قوله وروي عن أبي الزبير عن جابر أسنده يحيى بن أبي أنيسة عنه ووقفه إسماعيل بن مسلم عن أبي الزبير عن جابر قوله وروي عن شريك عن أبي الزبير عن جابر مرفوعا ولا يصح ذلك
machine translationThere is disagreement about raising the hadith to the Prophet from ʿAṭāʾ. Ibn al-Ṣabbāḥ raised it from him, while Muḥammad b. Isḥāq made it mawqūf, narrating it from ʿAṭāʾ, from Jābir as his own statement. It is also narrated from Abū al-Zubayr, from Jābir: Yaḥyā b. Abī Unaysah gave it a connected chain to the Prophet from him, while Ismāʿīl b. Muslim made it mawqūf from Abū al-Zubayr, from Jābir as his statement. It is narrated from Sharīk, from Abū al-Zubayr, from Jābir as marfūʿ, but that is not sound.
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 2843 - Ibn Ḥazm
مدلس يعني أبا الزبير ولم يذكر أنه سمعه من جابر
machine translationA concealer of defects (mudallis), meaning Abū al-Zubayr, and it is not mentioned that he heard it from Jābir.
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 2843 - ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. al-Jawzī
حديث لا يصح
machine translationA hadith that is not sound.
