I say: Al-Yashkurī was declared a liar by al-Azdī. He was Muḥammad ibn ʿUmar ibn al-Walīd ibn Lāḥiq, attributed to his grandfather.
Ibn Ḥibbān said: “It is not permissible to narrate from him.” Abū Ḥātim said: “I consider his case to be unsettled.”
- As for the hadith of Jābir, it is narrated by Muḥammad ibn Thābit, from Sharīk ibn ʿAbd Allāh, from al-Aʿmash, from Abū Sufyān, from Jābir, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said—and he then cited it.
It was recorded by Abū Nuʿaym in al-Ḥilyah (10/50–51/221) and by Ibn ʿAsākir in History of Damascus (11/309/1).
I say: This chain is adequate as corroborative evidence. Its narrators are trustworthy, apart from Sharīk ibn ʿAbd Allāh—the judge—who was truthful but had poor retention.
Muḥammad ibn Thābit was the brother of ʿAlī ibn Thābit. Ibn Maʿīn said: “Trustworthy and dependable.”
Ibn Abī Ḥātim (2/3/216) narrated from his father: “There is no objection to him.”
In sum, with this corroborating report, the hadith is good, as al-Tirmidhī said. Allah, Exalted is He, knows best.
