حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
صَلاَةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ تَزِيدُ عَلَى صَلاَةِ الرَّجُلِ وَحْدَهُ أَرْبَعًا وَعِشْرِينَ أَوْ خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً

كان أبو إسحاق واسع الحديث يحتمل أن يكون سمع من أبي بصير وسمع من ابن أبي بصير عن أبي بصير وسمع من العيزار عن أبي بصير قال أبي سمعت سليمان بن حرب قال أخبرني وهب بن جرير قال قال شعبة أبو إسحاق قد سمع من عبد الله بن أبي بصير ومن أبي بصير كلاهما هذا الحديث
machine translationAbū Isḥāq had a wide range of hadith. It is possible that he heard from Abū Baṣīr, that he heard from Ibn Abī Baṣīr from Abū Baṣīr, and that he heard from al-ʿAyzār from Abū Baṣīr. My father said: I heard Sulaymān b. Ḥarb say: Wahb b. Jarīr informed me, he said: Shuʿbah said: Abū Isḥāq heard this hadith from both ʿAbdullāh b. Abī Baṣīr and from Abū Baṣīr.

in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 839 - Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
واحتجوا بحديث أبي بصير عن أبي بن كعب مرفوعا بذلك وهو حديث ليس بالقوي
machine translationThey used as evidence the hadith of Abū Baṣīr from Ubayy b. Kaʿb, raised to the Prophet (marfūʿ), to that effect, but it is a hadith that is not strong (laysa bi-l-qawī).
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 839 - Ishbīlī
عبد الله بن أبي بصير لا أعلم روى عنه إلا أبو إسحاق قال مغلطاي وهذا منه رحمه الله تعالى تضعيف للحديث على قاعدته لأن الإنسان إذا لم يوثق ولم يرو غير واحد عنه فهو مجهول العين والحال
machine translationʿAbdullāh b. Abī Baṣīr: I do not know anyone who narrated from him except Abū Isḥāq. Mughulṭāy said: This, from him (may God Most High have mercy on him), is a declaration of the hadith as weak (ḍaʿīf) according to his principle, because when a person has not been declared trustworthy and only one person has narrated from him, he is unknown in identity and in condition (majhūl al-ʿayn wa-l-ḥāl).
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 839 - Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
ليس بالقوي لا يحتج بمثله
machine translationHe is not strong (laysa bi-l-qawī); a report like his is not used as evidence.
