Notes

• قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بِإِسْنَادٍ غَيْرِ هَذَا رَوَاهُ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَهُوَ حَدِيثٌ ضَعِيفٌ أَيْضًا بِإِسْنَادٍ لَهُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَالصَّحِيحُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ مَوْقُوفٌ قَوْلُهُ

  machine translationAbū ʿĪsā said: This is a strange (gharīb) hadith; we do not know it with this chain except from this route. This hadith has also been narrated from Ayyūb with a chain other than this one. It was narrated by al-Ḥasan b. Abī Jaʿfar, and it is also a weak (ḍaʿīf) hadith, with a chain of his from ʿAlī from the Prophet ﷺ. The sound (ṣaḥīḥ) report from ʿAlī is that it is a statement stopped at him (mawqūf), being his own saying. Report a problem
