• Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

  انفرد به عبد الرحمن بن عبد الله بن أبي عمار وقد وثقه جماعة من أئمة أهل الحديث ورووا عنه حديثه هذا واحتجوا به وليس هو بمشهور بنقل العلم ولا ممن يحتج به إذا خالفه من هو أثبت منه

  machine translationʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abī ʿAmmār was alone in transmitting it. A group of the imams of hadith have declared him trustworthy (thiqah), and they narrated this hadith of his from him and used it as evidence. But he is not well known for transmitting knowledge, and he is not among those whose narration is taken as evidence when someone more reliable than he contradicts him. Report a problem
