Azami 1690

Tabarani reported it in Al-Awsat (7, no. 6216), saying, Muhammad bin Ali Sayigh told us, Musayab bin Wadih told us, Makhlad bin Husayn told us, from Hisham bin Hassan, from Humayd bin Hilal, from Abdullah bin Samit, from Abu Dharr, and he related the same. Tabarani said, "No one narrated this hadith from Hisham bin Hassan except Makhlad bin Husayn, and Musayab bin Wadih narrated it alone." Musayab bin Wadih is a disputed narrator. Ibn Adi mentioned him in Al-Kamil (6/2383) and said, "I heard Abu Arubah say, 'Musayab bin Wadih would only narrate something he recognized and could verify.'" He also said, "Abu Abdul-Rahman Nasai held a good opinion of him and would say, 'People trouble us,' meaning they spoke against him." He then mentioned some hadiths of his, none of which included the hadith in question, and said, "He has many hadiths from his teachers, and most of what he was criticized for is what I have mentioned, though he does not do it intentionally but rather becomes confused, and there is no harm in him."Dhahabi understood from this statement of Ibn Adi that the rest of his hadith is sound, and that he is among those whose hadith is recorded. Abu Hatim said, "He is truthful but errs frequently, and when told of his errors, he would not accept it." As for Daraqutni, Sulami asked him about him, and he said, "Daif," and he explicitly declared him daif in his Sunan in many places.The conclusion is that he falls between acceptance and rejection, and here there is no harm in accepting his hadith due to the abundance of corroborating reports. Zaylai also mentioned it in Nasb Raya (1/184) and passed over it without comment.His statement "al-mawwaqayn" means the khuff (leather socks).
