Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

as well as Ibn Muslim, Ḥammād ibn Salamah, Abū Hilāl Muḥammad ibn Sulaym, al-Yamānī Abū Ḥudhayfah, Saʿīd ibn Ibrāhīm, and a host of others.

He possessed a famous recension noted for its elevated chain of transmission.

Among those who narrated from him were Abū Ḥātim al-Rāzī, ʿAbdān al-Ahwāzī, Yaḥyā ibn Muḥammad al-Ḥinnāʾī, ʿAlī ibn Saʿīd ibn Bashīr al-Rāzī, Abū al-Qāsim al-Baghawī, and others.

Abū Ḥātim said: “Reliable.”

As for Abū al-Faraj ibn al-Jawzī’s claim that “the hadith scholars declared him weak,” that is merely a slip of Abū al-Faraj’s own making. Up to this very hour I have found no one who graded him weak, and Abū Ḥātim—well-known for his stringent criticism—saying “truthful” about him should suffice for you.

He died in 238 AH.

ʿAbd al-Ḥāfiẓ ibn Badrān and Yūsuf ibn Aḥmad informed us, saying: Mūsā ibn ʿAbd al-Qādir informed us; Saʿīd ibn Aḥmad informed us; ʿAlī ibn al-Busrī informed us; Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Mukhal­liṣ narrated to us; Abū al-Qāsim al-Baghawī narrated to us; Ṭālūt ibn ʿAbbād narrated to us; Saʿīd ibn Ibrāhīm narrated to us, from Qatādah, from al-Ḥasan, from Abū Bakrah—that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“If two Muslims confront one another with their swords, both the killer and the slain are in the Fire.” (1)

His sound narrations amount to roughly ten hadiths. Ibn Hibban states in al-Majruhin, 2/204: “He reports from Abu Umamah material that is not his; it is never permissible to cite him as proof.” Abu Hatim al-Razi likewise judged him weak. (1) All the transmitters in the isnad are reliable. Al-Bukhari also recorded the hadith, 1/81 in the Book of Faith, chapter “If two groups of believers fight, make peace between them,” and 12/173 in the Book of Blood Money, chapter “Whoever revives it.” Muslim included it under no. 2888 in the Book of Tribulations, chapter “When two Muslims confront each other with their swords.” All these versions pass through the chain: Hammad ibn Zayd → Ayyub and Yunus → al-Hasan → al-Ahnaf ibn Qays, who said: “I set out intending to meet this man, and Abu Bakrah met me and asked, ‘Where are you going, O Ahnaf?’ I replied, ‘I am going to support the cousin of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.’”
