• Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī

  وسألت أبي عن حديث رواه الزهري وأسامة بن زيد ونافع وابن إسحاق والوليد بن كثير عن إبراهيم بن عبد الله بن حنين عن أبيه عن علي نهاني النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن القراءة راكعا الحديث ورواه الضحاك بن عثمان وداود بن قيس الفراء وابن عجلان عن إبراهيم بن عبد الله بن حنين عن أبيه عن ابن عباس عن علي أيهما الصحيح قال أبي لم يقل هؤلاء الذين رووا عن أبيه سمعت عليا إلا بعضهم وهؤلاء الثلاثة مستورون والزيادة مقبولة من ثقة وابن عجلان ثقة والضحاك بن عثمان ليس بالقوي وأسامة لم يرض حتى روى عن إبراهيم ثم روى عن عبد الله بن حنين نفسه وأسامة ليس بالقوي وقال أبي مرة أخرى الزهري أحفظ

  machine translationI asked my father about a hadith narrated by al-Zuhrī, Usāmah b. Zayd, Nāfiʿ, Ibn Isḥāq and al-Walīd b. Kathīr, from Ibrāhīm b. ʿAbdillāh b. Ḥunayn, from his father, from ʿAlī: "The Prophet ﷺ forbade me to recite while bowing" (the hadith). And it was narrated by al-Ḍaḥḥāk b. ʿUthmān, Dāwūd b. Qays al-Farrāʾ and Ibn ʿAjlān, from Ibrāhīm b. ʿAbdillāh b. Ḥunayn, from his father, from Ibn ʿAbbās, from ʿAlī. Which of the two is correct? My father said: Those who narrated from his father did not say "I heard ʿAlī" except some of them, and these three are of unknown reliability (mastūr), and an addition is accepted from a trustworthy narrator (thiqah). Ibn ʿAjlān is trustworthy (thiqah), and al-Ḍaḥḥāk b. ʿUthmān is not strong (laysa bi-l-qawī). Usāmah was not satisfied until he narrated from Ibrāhīm, and then narrated from ʿAbdullāh b. Ḥunayn himself, and Usāmah is not strong (laysa bi-l-qawī). My father said on another occasion: al-Zuhrī is the better memorizer. Report a problem
