Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

The leading ḥadīth masters kept their distance from him (1) and regarded him as suspect.
He was declared a liar by Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn and Ṣāliḥ Jazara.
Al-Nasāʾī said, “He is abandoned in ḥadīth” (2).
Al-ʿUqaylī said, “He used to fabricate reports and attribute them to trustworthy transmitters” (3).
Ibn Ḥibbān stated, “It is not permissible to record his ḥadīths except for specialists merely as a curiosity, and under no circumstances may they be transmitted from him” (4).

He narrated—through Hishām, from his father, from ʿĀʾishah—that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The growth of hair inside the nose is protection from leprosy” (5).

Through the same chain: “Do not make your slaves work at night; the night is theirs and the day is yours.”

Through the same chain: “None of you should sleep with food beside his head, for I cannot guarantee him against pests.”

He also transmitted—through Misʿar, from Qatādah, from Anas—that the Prophet ﷺ said: “When …"

(1) I.e., they refrained from transmitting from him; the verb hada ‘anhu yahidu haydan means to turn aside and withdraw. (2) Al-Du‘afa’ wa-l-Matrukin, p. 110. (3) Al-Du‘afa’ of al-‘Uqayli, folio 448. (4) Kitab al-Majruhin wa-l-Du‘afa’, 3/125. (5) Al-Haythami cites the report in Majma‘ al-Zawa’id 5/99–100, attributing it to Abu Ya‘la and al-Tabarani in al-Awsat, and notes that the chain contains Abu al-Rabi‘ al-Samman, who is weak; his full name is Ash‘ath b. Sa‘id. The author treats him in al-Mizan 1/263: Ahmad said, “His narrations are confused; he is not up to the mark.” Ibn Ma‘in: “He is worthless.” Al-Nasa’i: “His hadith should not be written.” Al-Darqutni: “Abandoned,” and he cites this very hadith from him. Al-Baghawi declared it fabricated. The report is also transmitted by other weak narrators.

وَتَحَايَدَهُ (١) الحُفَّاظُ، وَاتَّهَمُوهُ. كَذَّبَهُ: يَحْيَى بنُ مَعِيْنٍ، وَصَالِحٌ جَزَرَةُ. وَقَالَ النَّسَائِيُّ: مَتْرُوْكُ الحَدِيْثِ (٢) . وَقَالَ العُقَيْلِيُّ: كَانَ يَضَعُ الحَدِيْثَ عَلَى الثِّقَاتِ (٣) . وَقَالَ ابْنُ حِبَّانَ: لاَ تَحِلُّ كِتْبَةُ حَدِيْثِهِ إِلاَّ عَلَى جِهَةِ التَّعَجُّبِ لأَهْلِ الصَّنْعَةِ، وَلاَ الرِّوَايَةِ عَنْهُ بِحَالٍ (٤) . رَوَى عَنْ: هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيْهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ: قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ ﷺ: (نَبَاتُ الشَّعْرِ فِي الأَنْفِ أَمَانٌ مِنَ الجُذَامِ (٥)) . وَبِهِ: (لاَ تَسْتَخْدِمُوا أَرِقَّاءَكُم بِاللَّيْلِ، فلهُمُ اللَّيْلُ، وَلكُمُ النَّهَارُ) . وَبِهِ: (لاَ يَبِتْ أَحَدُكُم وَعِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ الطَّعَامِ، فَإِنِّي لاَ آمَنُ عَلَيْهِ الهَوَامَّ) . وَرَوَى عَنْ: مِسْعَرٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ: عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: (عِنْدَ
