I say: This is further supported by the fact that, in his biographical entry, he mentioned that Ibn ‘Adi said—after narrating for him another hadith from Sulayman: “Apparently, he is Ibrahim ibn Yazid al-Khuzi, for he narrates from Sulayman, who is al-Ahwal ...”

Third: His statement, “Ibn Ma‘in said of him: ‘He is not strong.’” I have not found this in his biographical entry in al-Mizan or al-Lisan. Rather, both of them report from Ibn Ma‘in that he said of him: “He is worthless.” Ibn Abi Hatim likewise narrated this from him in al-Jarh wa al-Ta‘dil (1/1/383). However, immediately before that, he narrated from his father that he said of him: “He is not strong.” It thus appears that Ibn al-Qattan’s eye inadvertently shifted to this statement when he cited Ibn Ma‘in. And Allah knows best.

2478 — “It is from the Sunnah that, when you enter the mosque, you begin with your right foot, and when you leave, you begin with your left foot.”

Al-Hakim (1/218) narrated it, and al-Bayhaqi (2/442) narrated it from him, through Shaddad Abu Talhah, who said: I heard Mu‘awiyah ibn Qurrah narrating from Anas ibn Malik that he used to say this. Al-Hakim said: “It is authentic according to the criterion of Muslim, for Muslim cited Shaddad ibn Sa‘id Abu Talhah al-Rasibi as evidence.” Al-Dhahabi agreed with him. Al-Bayhaqi said: “Shaddad ibn Sa‘id Abu Talhah al-Rasibi was alone in narrating it, and he is not strong.” I say: This is closer to what is correct, for Muslim narrated from this Shaddad only one hadith
