“He has hadiths that are tolerable, and I hope that there is no problem with him.”
The third: Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Mujabbir said: from Ibn Shihāb, from ʿĀmir ibn Saʿd, from his father. Al-Ṭabarānī recorded it in al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr (1/19/1). Ibn Mujabbir is abandoned.
Ibn Abī Ḥātim cited the hadith in al-ʿIlal (2/365 and 366) through the first route and said: “My father said: There is disagreement over this chain of transmission, and confusion concerning this hadith.” Ibn ʿAsākir said: “The first is correct.”
- As for the hadith of Anas, it is narrated by Abū Hilāl al-Rāsibī, from Qatādah, from him, attributed to the Prophet. It was recorded by al-Bazzār (288), Abū Saʿīd ibn al-Aʿrābī in his Muʿjam (109/1), al-Ṭabarānī in al-Muʿjam al-Kabīr, and Ibn ʿAdī (404/1). Al-Bazzār said: “Abū Hilāl alone narrated it, and he has some weakness.”
Following it, al-Haythamī said in his Zawāʾid: “I say: It is supported by corroborating reports from the hadiths of Saʿd and ʿUthmān.”
I say: Abū Hilāl’s name is Muḥammad ibn Sulaym. He is truthful, though he has some weakness, as stated in al-Taqrīb.
In Majmaʿ al-Zawāʾid (10/27), he said: “Al-Ṭabarānī narrated it in al-Kabīr and al-Awsaṭ. Its chain includes Muḥammad ibn Sulaym Abū Hilāl, whom a group of scholars declared trustworthy, though he has some weakness. The remaining narrators in both chains are narrators found in the Ṣaḥīḥ collections. Al-Bazzār also narrated it.”
I say: Al-Ṭabarānī’s teacher, Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad al-Tammār, is not among the narrators of the Ṣaḥīḥ collections. However, he was corroborated by al-Bazzār’s two teachers, Rūḥ ibn Ḥātim and Aḥmad ibn al-ʿAlāʾ al-Ādamī. The former is weak, while I have found no biographical notice for the latter.
