Aliyah.” I was unable to identify her. And Allah knows best.] 291/14: “... (1/10) [and Ibn Majah (447)] and al-Hakim ...” 312/22: “... It was narrated by [Abu al-Shaykh in Tabaqat al-Asbahaniyyin (292/525), and] al-Silafi ...” Delete from the following line: “al-Baghawi: haddathana (he narrated to us).” 313/8: [I said, “Let him verify,” because this Musab is Musab ibn Shaybah ibn Jubayr ibn Shaybah ibn Uthman ibn Abd al-Dar, the custodian of the Ka'bah, as stated in Tarikh al-Bukhari (4/1/352), al-Jarh wa al-Tadil (4/1/305), and other works. Shaybah, the father of this Musab, was in fact a descendant of Shaybah ibn Uthman ibn Abd al-Dar, the well-known Companion. It is therefore highly unlikely that a descendant of a grandson could have met his remote forefather—namely, that Musab could have met his grandfather's grandfather, Uthman ibn Abd al-Dar. Accordingly, Uthman is not listed among Musab's teachers by Musab or by others; rather, Talq ibn Habib and Safiyyah bint Shaybah are listed among them. Thus, al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar's statement in al-Tahdhib, following his source, in the entry on Shaybah ibn Uthman—“His son Musab narrated from him”—is an error, perhaps a slip of the pen. This is further supported by the fact that, in the entry on Musafi ibn Abd Allah ibn Shaybah ibn Uthman al-Abdari, al-Hafiz stated that Musab ibn Shaybah, the son of his cousin's grandson, narrated from him. This clearly establishes that Musab was not the son of Shaybah ibn Uthman. In sum, this Musab belonged to the generation after the Successors. It is not established that he narrated from his remote forefather Shaybah ibn Uthman; rather, he narrated from him through Musafi ibn Abd Allah ibn Shaybah ibn Uthman. His father was Shaybah ibn Jubayr, not Shaybah ibn Uthman the Companion, and his father is unknown. Thus, the chain is mursal (a report with an omitted link), in addition to Musab's weakness and his father's unknown status. And Allah knows best.]
