Azami 1019

*On the report of Yazid bin Abu Mansur, from Dhul-Lihya Kullabi:*Abdullah bin Ahmad related it in his father's Musnad (16630), from Yahya bin Main, who said, "Abu Ubayda, meaning al-Haddad, narrated to us, saying, Abdul-Aziz bin Muslim narrated to us, from Yazid bin Abu Mansur, from Dhul-Lihya Kullabi," and he related it. Tabarani related it by this same route in Kabir (4236). Haythami said in Majma (194/7), "Abdullah bin Ahmad and Tabarani related it, and its narrators are trustworthy." I say, this is as he said, except that Yazid bin Abu Mansur is not at the level of being trustworthy, but is rather truthful. Abu Hatim said of him, "There is no harm in him." Dhahabi said, "Truthful." Ibn Hibban mentioned him in Thiqat (548/5), and Hafiz relied on Abu Hatim's statement, saying, "There is no harm in him."The hadith has another chain that revolves around him. Abdullah bin Ahmad related it in his father's Musnad (16631) by another route, saying, "Abu Abdullah Basri narrated to us, Sahl bin Aslam Adawi narrated to us, saying, Yazid bin Abu Mansur narrated to us," with his chain, similarly. Except that his teacher, Abu Abdullah Basri, the freedman of Ibn Samura, whose name was Maymun, and it is also said his father's name was Ustaz, was declared daif by the scholars, and Hafiz applied to him the term "daif." But he was corroborated in the first chain.On this subject there is also a report from Abu Bakr Siddiq, who said, "I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, do we act according to what has already been decreed and finished, or according to something newly begun?' He said, 'Rather, according to something that has already been decreed and finished.' I said, 'Then what is the point of action, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Everyone is made easy for what he was created for.'"Imam Ahmad related it (19), Bazzar in Kashf Astar (2136), Tabarani in Kabir (47), and Bayhaqi in Qadaa wal-Qadar (727/2), all of them by the route of Ataf bin Khalid, from Talha bin Abdullah bin Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Bakr, from his father, from his grandfather, that he heard Abu Bakr Siddiq say what he related. Except that Ahmad placed between Ataf bin Khalid and Talha bin Abdullah "a man from the people of Basra." Ataf bin Khalid is disputed. Nasai and Ibn Hibban declared him daif, while others graded him hasan, among them Ahmad, his son Abdullah, Ibn Main, Abu Zura, Abu Dawud, and others, so his hadith is hasan. But his teacher Talha bin Abdullah was not deemed trustworthy by anyone. Ibn Hibban merely mentioned him in Thiqat (392/4) and said, "Uthman bin Abu Sulayman and his son Muhammad bin Talha narrated from him." Therefore Hafiz said of him, "Acceptable," meaning if corroborated, otherwise his hadith is weak.As for Haythami, he relied on Ibn Hibban's verification, saying in his Majma (194/7), "Ahmad, Bazzar, and Tabarani related it, and he said, 'From Ataf bin Khalid, Talha bin Abdullah narrated to me.' Ataf was deemed trustworthy by Ibn Main and a group of others, though there is some weakness in him, and the rest of his narrators are trustworthy, except that among Ahmad's narrators there is an unnamed, unidentified man." End of quote. Bayhaqi said, "It has also been related from Abdul-Rahman bin Sabit, from Abu Bakr Siddiq, as his own statement, with a similar meaning."On this subject there is also a report from Ibn Abbas, who said, "A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, do we act according to what the decrees have already determined and the pen has already dried on, or is there something we newly initiate?' He said, 'Rather, according to what the decrees have determined and the pen has dried on.' He said, 'Then what is the point of action?' He said, 'Act, for everyone is made easy.'"Tabarani related it in Kabir (1089), from Abdan bin Ahmad, who said, "Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Ubayd bin Aqeel narrated to us, Ibrahim bin Sulayman Dabbas narrated to us, Yahya bin Saeed Ansari narrated to us, from Amr bin Dinar, from Tawus, from Ibn Abbas," and he related it. Its chain is daif because of Ibrahim bin Sulayman Dabbas, who was from Basra. Ibn Hibban mentioned him in Thiqat (69/8). He is also called Ibrahim bin Sulayman Zayyat. Ibn Hibban also mentioned him in Thiqat (65/8) and said, "From the people of Kufa, he settled in Basra. Ibrahim bin Rashid Adami and the people of Iraq narrated from him." This is how Ibn Hibban distinguished between the two of them. If he is Ibrahim bin Sulayman Zayyat, then Ibn Adi discussed him in Kamil (264/1) and said, "He is not strong." Hafiz gave his biography in Lisan (65/1). And in the chain there are men I do not know.Bazzar related it in Kashf Astar (2139) by another route, from Mutamir bin Sulayman, from his father, who said, "Layth wrote to Sulayman bin Tarkhan, 'Habib bin Thabit narrated to me, from Saeed bin Jubayr, from Ibn Abbas,'" similarly, except that he said at the end, "The people said to one another, 'Then let us strive hard!'" Bazzar said, "We do not know of anyone who related it from Habib except Layth, nor from him except Sulayman."As for Haythami's statement in Majma (195/7), "Tabarani and Bazzar related it similarly, except that he said at the end, 'The people said to one another, "Then let us strive hard!"' And Tabarani's narrators are trustworthy," this follows Ibn Hibban.
