Ibn al-Farāḍī said: “He would frequently remark, ‘This has nothing to do with the words of the Prophet ﷺ,’ even when the report was in fact authentically traced back to him (2).”

He added: “A large number of errors are preserved from him; he would make slips and mis-readings, and he had no proficiency in Arabic or in jurisprudence.”

Ibn Waddāḥ died in Muḥarram 287 AH (3).

Ibn Hārūn informed us, through Abū’l-Qāsim ibn Baqī, through Shurayḥ ibn Muḥammad, that Abū Muḥammad ibn Ḥazm authorised him, saying: “Aḥmad ibn al-Jusūr narrated to us; Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Dulaym narrated to us; Muḥammad ibn Waddāḥ narrated to us; Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us; Yazīd narrated to us; Ḥumayd informed us, from Bakr ibn ʿAbd Allāh, from Ibn ʿUmar who said:
‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered ihrām for Hajj, and we entered ihrām with him. When he arrived, he said, “Whoever has not brought a sacrificial animal with him should exit ihrām.”’ (4)
