  سئل عن حديث علقمة عن عبد الله عن النبي فقال قيل ذلك عن مصعب بن ماهان عن سفيان عن منصور وعن ابن أبي عدي عن شعبة عن منصور عن إبراهيم عن علقمة عن عبد الله ولا يصح والصواب عن إبراهيم عن عبيدة عن عبد الله

  machine translationHe was asked about the hadith of ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh, from the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: It was said thus from Muṣʿab b. Māhān, from Sufyān, from Manṣūr, and from Ibn Abī ʿAdī, from Shuʿbah, from Manṣūr, from Ibrāhīm, from ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh. But it is not sound (ṣaḥīḥ); the correct version is from Ibrāhīm, from ʿUbaydah, from ʿAbdullāh. Report a problem
