Ibn Ḥibbān said, “ʿAdī died while Khālid al-Qasrī was governor of Iraq.”
Ibn Qāniʿ dated his death to the year 116 AH.
As for Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn, he stated, “He is ʿAdī ibn Thābit ibn Dīnār.”
ʿAbd al-Muḥsin ibn Muḥammad reported to us; Ibn Khalīl narrated to us; and both Masʿūd ibn Abī Manṣūr and Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad⦗1⦘ transmitted the report. I was later informed on their authority that they said:
“Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥaddād related to us; Abū Nuʿaym narrated; Abū Bakr ibn Khallād told us; Muḥammad ibn Yūnus al-Sāmī told us; ʿAbd Allāh ibn Dāwūd al-Khuraybī told us; al-Aʿmash, from ʿAdī ibn Thābit, from Zir, reported:
‘I heard ʿAlī—may Allah be pleased with him—say: By Him who splits the seed, brings forth the soul, and is clothed in majesty, the Prophet ﷺ pledged to me: “No one will love you except a believer, and no one will hate you except a hypocrite.”’”
Muslim⦗2⦘ recorded this ḥadith via Abū Muʿāwiyah, and Wakīʿ also transmitted it from al-Aʿmash.
