• Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī

  وهو مرسل لأن سعيدا ولد سنة مات سعد وأما تصحيح ابن حبان له فمتعقب على شرطه في الاتصال

  machine translationIt is a mursal report (mursal) because Saʿīd was born in the year that Saʿd died. As for Ibn Ḥibbān's authentication of it, it is open to criticism on the basis of his own condition of continuity of the chain (ittiṣāl). Report a problem
