Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

Ikrimah once stood at the door of the mosque and declared, “There is no one inside but an unbeliever!” He was known to espouse the creed of the Ibadiyyah.

Khallād ibn Sulaymān al-Ḥaḍramī narrated, on the authority of Khālid ibn Abī ʿImrān, who said:

“Ikrimah, the freedman of Ibn ʿAbbās, came to us in Ifriqiyah during the Pilgrimage season and said, ‘I wish I were at the Season today, with a spear in my hand, striking to the right and to the left.’ In another version he added, ‘…so that I could assault anyone who attended the Season.’ Khālid commented, ‘From that day the people of Ifriqiyah repudiated him.’”

Muṣʿab ibn ʿAbd Allāh said, “Ikrimah held the views of the Khawārij and even alleged that Ibn ʿAbbās himself followed the Kharijite doctrine.” This, however, is a report without a chain of transmission.

Abū Khalaf ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿĪsā al-Khazzāz related, from Yaḥyā al-Bakkāʾ:

“I heard Ibn ʿUmar say to Nāfiʿ, ‘Fear Allah, woe to you! Do not lie about me as Ikrimah lied about Ibn ʿAbbās when he declared currency exchange (ṣarf) lawful, even though his own son became a money-changer.’” Al-Bakkāʾ is weak (1).

Ibrāhīm ibn Saʿd reported, from his father, from Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyab, that he used to say to one of his servants, “O Burd, do not lie about me as Ikrimah (2) lies about Ibn ʿAbbās.”

(1) He is categorised as "abandoned"; the critics unanimously judge him weak. As Ibn Hibban remarks, it is inconceivable that the reliability of an upright narrator be undermined by the testimony of one who is himself discredited. (2) Ibn Hibban states in the biographical entry on Burd in his work al-Thiqat: "The people of the Hijaz use the word kadhaba (he lied) where they intend akhtaʾa (he erred)." This is corroborated by the expression used by Ubadah ibn al-Samit—"kadhaba Abu Muhammad"—when told that the latter claimed, "The witr prayer is obligatory." Abu Muhammad did not report this as a transmitted hadith but advanced it as a personal juristic opinion; a mujtahid is not said to have lied, only to have erred. I add: the report of Ubadah is recorded by Malik 1/123; Abu Dawud, no. 1420; Ahmad 5/315, 319; al-Nasaʾi 1/230; al-Darimi 1/370; and Ibn Majah, no. 1401, all through the chain: Yahya ibn Saʿid → Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Hibban → Ibn Muhayriz—that a man from Kinana named al-Mukhaddaji heard a Syrian named Abu Muhammad say that the witr is obligatory. Al-Mukhaddaji went to Ubadah ibn al-Samit, intercepted him on his way to the mosque, and informed him of Abu Muhammad’s statement. Ubadah replied: "kadhaba Abu Muhammad! I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: ‘Allah has prescribed five prayers for His servants. Whoever performs them, omitting none of them out of indifference to their right, has a covenant with Allah that He will admit him to Paradise; whoever fails to perform them has no covenant with Allah—if He wills, He will punish him, and if He wills, He will admit him to Paradise.’" All the transmitters in this isnad are those relied upon by the Sahih collections except al-Mukhaddaji, who is not known for any hadith other than this one; but—
وَقَفَ عِكْرِمَةُ عَلَى بَابِ المَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: مَا فِيْهِ إِلاَّ كَافِرٌ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ يَرَى رَأْيَ الإِبَاضِيَّةِ. وَرَوَى: خَلاَّدُ بنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الحَضْرَمِيُّ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بنِ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا عِكْرِمَةُ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ بِإِفْرِيْقِيَةَ فِي وَقْتِ المَوْسِمِ، فَقَالَ: وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي اليَوْمَ بِالمَوْسِمِ، بِيَدِي حَرْبَةٌ أَضْرِبُ بِهَا يَمِيْناً وَشِمَالاً. وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: فَأَعْتَرِضُ بِهَا مَنْ شَهِدَ المَوْسِمَ. قَالَ خَالِدٌ: فَمِنْ يَوْمَئِذٍ رَفَضَهُ أَهْلُ إِفْرِيْقِيَةَ. قَالَ مُصْعَبُ بنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ: كَانَ عِكْرِمَةُ يَرَى رَأْيَ الخَوَارِجِ، وَادَّعَى عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَرَى رَأْيَ الخَوَارِجِ. هَذِهِ حِكَايَةٌ بِلاَ إِسْنَادٍ. قَالَ أَبُو خَلَفٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بنُ عِيْسَى الخَزَّازُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى البَكَّاءِ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُوْلُ لِنَافِعٍ: اتَّقِ اللهَ، وَيْحَكَ، لاَ تَكْذِبْ عَلَيَّ كَمَا كَذَبَ عِكْرِمَةُ عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، كَمَا أَحَلَّ الصَّرْفَ، وَأَسْلَمُ ابْنُهُ صَيْرَفِيّاً. البَكَّاءُ: وَاهٍ (١) . إِبْرَاهِيْمُ بنُ سَعْدٍ: عَنْ أَبِيْهِ، عَنْ سَعِيْدِ بنِ المُسَيِّبِ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُوْلُ لِغُلاَمٍ لَهُ: يَا بُرْدُ، لاَ تَكْذِبْ عَلَيَّ كَمَا يَكْذِبُ (٢) عِكْرِمَةُ عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ.
(١) بل هو متروك اتفقوا على ضعفه، ومن المحال - كما قال ابن حبان - أن يجرح العدل بكلام المجروح. (٢) قال ابن حبان في ترجمة برد هذا من كتاب " الثقات ": أهل الحجاز يطلقون " كذب " في موضع " أخطأ " ويؤيد ذلك إطلاق عبادة بن الصامت قوله " كذب أبو محمد " لما أخبر أنه يقول: " الوتر واجب " فإن أبا محمد لم يقله رواية، وإنما قاله اجتهادا، والمجتهد لا يقال له: إنه كذب، وإنما يقال: إنه أخطأ. قلت: وخبر عبادة أخرجه مالك ١ / ١٢٣، وأبو داود (١٤٢٠) وأحمد ٥ / ٣١٥ و٣١٩، والنسائي ١ / ٢٣٠، والدارمي ١ / ٣٧٠، وابن ماجه (١٤٠١) كلهم من طريق يحيى بن سعيد عن محمد بن يحيى بن حبان، عن ابن محيريز أن رجلا من كنانة يدعى المخدجي سمع رجلا بالشام يدعى أبا محمد يقول: إن الوتر لواجب، قال المخدجي: فرحت إلى عبادة بن الصامت، فاعترضت له وهو رائح إلى المسجد، فأخبرته بالذي قال أبو محمد، فقال عبادة: كذب أبو محمد، سمعت النبي ﷺ يقول: " خمس صلوات كتبهن الله على العباد، من جاء بهن، لم ينقص منهن شيئا استخفافا بحقهن، كان له عند الله عهد أن يدخله الجنة، ومن لم يأت بهن، فليس له عند الله عهد إن شاء عذبه، وإن شاء أدخله الجنة " ورجال إسناده رجال الصحيح ما عدا المخدجي، فإنه لايعرف بغير هذا الحديث، لكن =
