• Dāraquṭnī

  هو حديث رواه الزهري واختلف عنه فرواه معمر ويونس وإبراهيم بن سعد والنعمان بن راشد وعثمان بن عمر بن موسى عن الزهري عن سعيد بن المسيب عن سعد وخالفهم عقيل من رواية رشدين بن سعد فقال عن الزهري عن عامر بن سعد عن أبيه وكذلك قيل عن إبراهيم بن إسماعيل بن مجمع عن الزهري عن عامر بن سعد وذلك وهم وقال عقيل من رواية ليث بن سعد عنه مثل قول معمر ومن تابعه وهو الصواب

  machine translationThis is a hadith narrated by al-Zuhrī, and there is disagreement concerning it from him. Maʿmar, Yūnus, Ibrāhīm b. Saʿd, al-Nuʿmān b. Rāshid and ʿUthmān b. ʿUmar b. Mūsā narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from Saʿīd b. al-Musayyab, from Saʿd. ʿAqīl opposed them, in the narration of Rishdīn b. Saʿd, saying: from al-Zuhrī, from ʿĀmir b. Saʿd, from his father. Likewise it was said from Ibrāhīm b. Ismāʿīl b. Mujammiʿ, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿĀmir b. Saʿd, and that is an error (wahm). ʿAqīl, in the narration of Layth b. Saʿd from him, said the same as Maʿmar and those who followed him, and that is the correct view. Report a problem
