Musnad al-Tayalisi 116

Translation

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to Yemen, some people dug a pit for a lion. People crowded around the pit, and the lion fell into it. A man fell in after it, and he grabbed hold of another man, and the other grabbed hold of yet another, until they became four. The lion mauled them in the pit and they died. The people took up arms and nearly fought among themselves. He said: I went to them and said: 'Would you kill two hundred men because of four people? Come, let me judge among you with a ruling. If you accept it, it will be a judgment between you, and if you refuse, you may take it up to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he is more entitled to judge.' He said: He gave the first man a quarter of the blood money, the second a third, the third a half, and the fourth the full blood money. He made the blood moneys payable by those who were present at the pit, upon the four tribes. Some of them were displeased and some were pleased. Then they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him the story, and he said: 'I will judge between you.' A man said: 'But 'Ali has already judged between us.' They told him what 'Ali had ruled, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The ruling is as 'Ali ruled.'

• ابن الملقن

  وحنش هذا هو ابن المعتمر وبعضهم يقول ابن ربيعة تابعي روى عنه سماك والحكم بن عتيبة قال البخاري يتكلمون في حديثه وأورد له في ضعفائه هذا الحديث وقال النسائي ليس بالقوي وقال ابن حبان لا يحتج به ينفرد عن علي بأشياء لا تشبه حديث الثقات وقال البيهقي إنه غير محتج به وقال أبو حاتم كان عبدا صالحا وليس أراهم يحتجون بحديثه ووثقه أبو داود وقال البزار في حديثه هذا لا نعلمه يروي إلا عن علي ولا نعلم له طريقا عن علي إلا هذا الطريق

  machine translationThis Ḥanash is Ibn al-Muʿtamir, and some say Ibn Rabīʿah. He was a Follower (tābiʿī); Simāk and al-Ḥakam b. ʿUtaybah narrated from him. al-Bukhārī said: "They speak about his ḥadīth," and he included this ḥadīth of his in his book of weak narrators (ḍuʿafāʾ). al-Nasāʾī said: "He is not strong (laysa bi-l-qawī)." Ibn Ḥibbān said: "He is not to be used as evidence; he is alone in narrating from ʿAlī things that do not resemble the ḥadīth of the trustworthy." al-Bayhaqī said: "He is not to be used as evidence." Abū Ḥātim said: "He was a righteous servant, but I do not think they use his ḥadīth as evidence." Abū Dāwūd declared him trustworthy (thiqah). al-Bazzār said about this ḥadīth of his: "We know of him only narrating from ʿAlī, and we know of no route for it from ʿAlī except this route."
