1986 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said, “My father narrated to me.” ʿAbd al-Rahman narrated to us, from Sufyan, from his father, from Abu Yaʿla and Bakr ibn Maʿiz, from al-Rabiʿ ibn Khuthaym, who said:
“The hadith has a radiance like the light of day—you recognize it—and it has a darkness like the darkness of night—you repudiate it.”
١٩٨٦ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي يَعْلَى، وَبَكْرِ بْنِ مَاعِزٍ، عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ قَالَ: «إِنَّ لِلْحَدِيثِ ضَوْءًا كَضَوْءِ النَّهَارِ تَعْرِفُهُ، وَظُلْمَةً كَظُلْمَةِ اللَّيْلِ تُنْكِرُهُ»
