What scholars said about it

In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.

  • Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

    ليس من الأحاديث التي لا مطعن فيها لأنه انفرد به علي بن زيد بن جدعان وقد كان شعبة يتكلم فيه

    machine translationIt is not among the hadiths that are free of criticism, because ʿAlī b. Zayd b. Judʿān was alone in narrating it, and Shuʿbah used to speak against him.
