(p. 44) The story we cited above comes through Ibn Abd al-Barr. However, the author omitted from his quotation the phrase, “and Musa ibn Uqba also reported this account,” and then linked Abd al-Razzaq’s narration from al-Zuhri to that of Musa ibn Uqba, making them look like a single report. The reader is thus led to think that the account of building a mosque over the grave is transmitted by Abd al-Razzaq from al-Zuhri, whereas in reality it is only from Musa ibn Uqba and is given without any isnad. I later found Musa ibn Uqba’s version in Ibn Asakir’s Tarikh (8/334/1), which he records with two chains from him, from Ibn Shihab, either mursal or muadhal, in the wording: “and a mosque was made beside his grave.” Even if this wording were authentic, it is far less problematic, for it does not state that the structure was erected on top of the grave but merely near it—an important distinction—and it also does not say that Abu Jandal was the one who built the mosque. Reflect on this.
