Azami 1745

Ibn Majah (780) narrated it from Ibrahim bin Muhammad Halabi, who said, Yahya bin Harith Shirazi told us, who said, Zuhayr bin Muhammad Tamimi told us, from Abu Hazim, from Sahl bin Saad, and he related it. Its chain of transmission is hasan due to the discussion surrounding Ibrahim bin Muhammad Halabi, who is Zuhri, a resident of Basra. Ibn Hibban said in Thiqat (8/75), "He makes mistakes." Dhahabi said in Kashif (198), "Truthful." Hafiz said, "Truthful, makes mistakes." A narrator like this has his hadith graded hasan when he does not err. Ibn Khuzayma graded it sahih (1498) and said, "A rare, unusual report." Hakim also related it through his route (1/212), both of them narrating it from Ibrahim bin Muhammad Basri, from Yahya bin Harith Shirazi, who said, Zuhayr bin Muhammad Tamimi and Abu Ghassan Madani told us, both of them from Abu Hazim with his chain of transmission. Hakim said, "Sahih according to the criterion of the two Shaykhs." The truth is that it does not meet the criterion of either of them, for Ibrahim bin Muhammad is among the narrators of Ibn Majah alone.Iraqi also graded it hasan and said, "Rare," as Busiri mentioned in his Zawaid. What is apparent from their statements is that this hadith reached them only through the narration of Muhammad bin Ibrahim Halabi.There are other hadiths on this subject, and this is the best of them. Among them is the hadith of Abu Darda, narrated by Ibn Hibban (4046), which contains Junada bin Abu Umaya. Ibn Hibban said, "He is actually Junada bin Abu Khalid." Dhahabi said in Mizan, "He is unknown."Among them is the hadith of Burayda bin Husayb Aslami, narrated by Abu Dawud (561) and Tirmidhi (223), which contains Ismail bin Sulayman Dabbi Basri Kahhal. Ibn Qattan said, "His condition is unknown, and no narration of his is known except this hadith." Tirmidhi said, "Rare from this route."Among them is the hadith of Anas, narrated by Ibn Majah (781), which contains Sulayman bin Dawud Saigh. Aqeeli said of him, "He is not corroborated in his hadith." Busiri said, "This chain of transmission is daif."Among them is the hadith of Abu Hurairah, also narrated by Ibn Majah (779). Busiri said, "This chain of transmission is daif, containing Abu Rafi, on whose weakness they are agreed, and Walid bin Muslim, who conceals his sources and has narrated here using an ambiguous form of transmission."And there are other hadiths besides these. For more, see Minna Kubra (2/13–14). Some scholars of knowledge held that the abundance of corroborating narrations lends them mutual support.
