سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمَسْخِ، أَيَكُونُ لَهُ نَسْلٌ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: « مَا مُسِخَ أَحَدٌ قَطُّ فَكَانَ لَهُ نَسْلٌ وَلَا عَقِبٌ

machine translationʿAlqamah b. Marthad narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Layth b. Abī Sulaym narrated it from ʿAlqamah, from al-Maʿrūr b. Suwayd, from Umm Salamah. Al-Masʿūdī narrated it from ʿAlqamah, from al-Mustawrid b. Makhramah, from Ibn Masʿūd. Al-Thawrī and Misʿar narrated it from ʿAlqamah, from al-Mughīrah b. ʿAbdillāh al-Yashkurī, from al-Maʿrūr b. Suwayd, from Ibn Masʿūd, and this is the correct (ṣaḥīḥ) one.
