1842 – Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Yaʿqub reported to us; Daʿlaj reported to us; Ahmad ibn ʿAli narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Humayd narrated to us; Jarir narrated, saying: “When the doctrine of irjaʾ (deferring judgment concerning faith and deeds) was brought up in the presence of al-Aʿmash, he said, ‘What benefit do you expect from an opinion that is younger than I am?’”
Jarir added, “Al-Mughira used to say, ‘Hammad narrated to us before he became a Murjiʾ (adherent of irjaʾ),’ and at other times he would say, ‘Hammad narrated to us before he went astray.’”
