Ahmad 1206

Its isnad is daif because of a break in the chain. Salim is Ibn Abu Hafsa Ajli, and he is trustworthy. Ibn Main and Ajli both validated him, though they criticized him, but their criticism was only on account of his Shiism. Ibn Adi said, most of what he narrates concerns the virtues of the People of the House, and he is among the extremists of the Shia among the people of Kufa. He was faulted only for his extremism in this regard. As for his hadiths, I hope there is no harm in them. This is a fair judgment, alongside the validation given by Ibn Main and Ajli.The isnad appears, on its surface, to be connected, for the Hafiz said in Tajil, 237, in the biography of Abdullah bin Mulayl, that Ibn Hibban said in Thiqat, he is counted among the people of Kufa, and he mentioned Salim bin Abu Hafsa among those who narrated from him. But it will come later, at 1273, that Salim bin Abu Hafsa said, "It reached me concerning Abdullah bin Mulayl, so I went to him in the morning and found them at a funeral. Then a man told me, on the authority of Abdullah bin Mulayl..." and so on. This shows that he did not hear this hadith directly from him. This report is attributed only to the companion.Something similar to it has already passed, attributed to the Prophet, at 665, from the hadith of Kathir Nawwa on the authority of Abdullah bin Mulayl, and it will also come by his route, attributed to the Prophet and given in full detail with the mention of their names, at 1262.
