Takhreej of Narrations present in Shia

Bismillah

All praises due to Allah, and May His peace and blessings be upon His Last and Final
Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and companions.

Shia Encyclopedia has great fame among shia so called internet debaters. They rely on
this online encyclopedia assuming it to be a great research. But the fact is this work is full
of weak and fabricated narrations. This Takhreej is a small effort to analyze the
authenticity of narrations present outside the two Sahih.

Notes: -

1. This Takhreej does not include those narrations which are in any of the two Sahih
Books.

2. Normally while describing the Isnad I end up with the name of Sahabi without
mentioning whether it is Marfoo’ or Mawqoof. In these cases the Isnad would be
Marfoo’ from Prophet (SAW), except if I made it clear that it is Mawqoof.

3. In many cases I do not discuss the narrator in detail. That is due to the ruling
being so clear regarding him, or it may be that I have discussed it at some other
place.

Hadith – 1
Originally Posted by Shia Encyclopedia
1. On tracing the source of this report of Abu Huraira which states "Quran and Sunnah,"
we found out that it has NOT been recorded in any of the six authentic Sunni collections
of the traditions (Sihah Sittah). Not only that, but also al-Bukhari, al-Nisa'i, and al-
Dhahabi and many others rated this report (Quran and Sunnah) as weak because of its
weak Isnad.

Takhreej

Note: - GF Haddad has presented a good Takhreej on this hadeeth. I’ve benifitted from
that.

This narration has come through several chains, from atleast four of the companions.
However, all of them are weak.
Recorded in “Mu'atta Imam Malik” without any sanad [Imam Malik said: it has reached
us that Prophet [SAW] said…]. However, Imam Ibn Abdul Barr narrates it with his sanad
in his Sharh of Mu’atta through two companions; Abu Hurairah and ‘Amr bin Awf, and
he declare it to be preserve and famous among scholars. [At-Tamheed (24/331)]

This narration has been narrated through Ibn ‘Abbas, ‘Amr bin Awf, Abu Hurairah and
Anas bin Malik.

Ibn ‘Abbas: - Narrated through Ibn Abbas by Imam Al-Bayhaqi in “Sunan Al-Kubra”
(10/114) and in “Dalaa’il An-Nubuwwah” (5/549), Al-Hakim in “Al-Mustadrak” (318),
and Abu Bakr Al-Aajuri in “Ash-Sharee’ah” (5/2220). All of them narrate it through the
route of Isma’eel bin Abi Uwais from his father from Thawr bin Zaid Ad-Dailee from
Ikrimah from Ibn Abbas. This narration describe the speech of the Prophet (SAW) during
his farewell pilgrimage.
Abdullah bin Abdullah bin Abi ‘Aamir Abu Uwais Al-Madani, the father of Isma’eel bin
Abi Uwais, was close to weakness. Yahya and Ahmed said he was weak in hadith.
Another time Yahya bin Mu’een said, there is no problem with him. In another narration,
he said: Sadooq, but not Hujjah. Nasai and Ibn Madeeni also considered him weak. Abu
Dawud said: Saleh Al-Hadith. Muslim relied on Abu Uwais in his Sahih. [Meezan Al-
E’etidal (2/450)]
Isma’eel bin Abi Uwais was disagreed upon. The correct ruling on him is that he was
truthful but made mistakes while narrating from his memory. Bukhari and Muslim
narrated from him in their Sahih. [Refer to al-Kashif (1/247), Taqreeb (1/96), Meezan
(1/222-223) etc]
In the report of Al-Aajurri, the father of Ibn Abi Uwais narrates from Abdullah bin Abi
Abdullah Al-Basari also along with Thawr bin Zaid Ad-Dailee.

Al-Albani declared the sanad in Mustadrak Al-Hakim from Ibn ‘Abbas to be hasan [“At-
Tawassul” (pg.16)], and declared the hadith to be Sahih in “Sahih Al-Jami’” (3232). Al-
Hakim said, “The command to stick with Sunnah is Ghareeb (odd) in this speech
(farewell speech).”
However, the meaning of the hadith is true and Qur’an itself testifies for its meaning.

‘Amr bin ‘Awf: - Narrated by Ibn Abdul Barr in “At-Tamheed” (24/331) and in “Jami’
Bayan Al-‘Ilm” (1/755, 2/979) through the way of Katheer bin Abdullah from his father
from his grand-father…
Katheer bin Abdullah was weak. Taqreeb (2/39)

Abu Hurairah: - Through Abu Hurayrah by al-Bazzaar in his Musnad (8993), Al-Hakim
in “Al-Mustadrak” (1/172), Imam Al-Bayhaqi (10/144, Daaru Fikr), Ibn Abdul Barr in
“At-Tamheed” (24/331) and in “Jami’ Bayan al-‘Ilm” (hadith. 1866, Daar Ibn al-Jawzi),
through the route Salih bin Musa At-Talhi from Abdul Aziz bin Rufai’ from Abu Saleh
from Abu Hurairah.
Regarding Saleh bin Musa, Ibn Hajar said: He was matrook.

Anas bin Malik: - Abu Ash-Shaykh Al-Asbahani narrates as a hadith of Anas bin Malik
in his “Tabaqat al-Muhadditheen” (4/67).
In this, Yazeed bin Abaan Ar-Raqqashi narrates from Anas. Yazeed was weak in hadith, as
said by Ibn Mu’een, Ahmed, Ibn Sa’d, Daarqutni etc. [Tahdheeb (11/270)]

This has also been narrated through ‘Urwah and Musa bin ‘Uqbah in Mursal form.

‘Urwah bin Zubair: - This was reported by Al-Bayhaqi in "Ad-Dala'il" (5/447-448)

from Urwah bin Zubair from Prophet (SAW) as a Mursal tradition. The isnad contains
Ibn Lahee'ah who was weak in hadeeth.

Musa bin ‘Uqbah: - Al-Bayhaqi reports it also as a Mursal report of Musa bin 'Uqbah
(d.141 AH) in the same book (5/448).

al-Saghir * Tarikh al-Khulafaa, by Jalaluddin al-Suyuti, p173]

Takhreej

Related by Imam Al-Hakim in his “Al-Mustadrak” (4628) and declared its sanad to be
authentic, likewise Tabarani relates it in “Al-Awsat” (8880) and in ‘’As-Sagheer” (720),
through Abu Sa’eed at-Taimi from [Abu] Thabit mawla Abu Dharr who narrates it from
Ummul Mu’mineen Umm Salamah [ra].
Al-Haithami said, “Narrated by Tabarani in Al-Awsat and As-Sagheer. And among its
narrators is Saleh bin Abil Aswad, and he is weak.” [Majma’ Az-Zawaa’id (9/35), Daarul
Fikr Beirut]

Allamah Muqbil bin Haadi Al-Wadi’ee states in his notes on “Al-Mustadarak”,

commenting on the statement of Al-Hakim that the sanad is Saheeh and Abu Sa’eed Al-
Tamimee is Al-‘Uqaisaa, and is Thiqah (trustworthy). He states: And in ‘Tarteeb Tarikh
ibn Mu’een’ (vol.2, page 707) [Ibn Mu’een was asked], “Did Abu Sa’eed Al-Uqaisa
heard from Ali? He said, ‘yes’. And he did not state any Jarh or Ta’deel regarding him
(At-Tamimee). So from where Al-Hakim got that he was Thiqah Ma’moon. And I did not
find any biography of Abu Thaabit.” [Mustadrak with notes by Allama Muqbil, 3/135
Daarul Haramain]

Regarding Abu Sa’eed at-Tameemi al-Uqaisa, Imam Dhahabi records in al-Meezan

(2/30): Nasai said, “He was not strong”. Daarqutni said, “Matrook al-Hadeeth”. As-Sa’di
said, “He wasn’t trustworthy”.
Hafiz Ibn Hajar further added in Lisan al-Meezan (2/433): Nasai said, in the tradition of
Ibn ‘Adi, “He was not trustworthy”. Bukhari said, “(Scholars) speak against him”. Ibn
Mu’een said, “He was nothing. He was worse than Rasheed al-Hijri, Habbah al-‘Arni and
Asbagh bin Nabatah”. Abu Hatim said, “He was Layyin (soft), and he is more beloved to
me than Asbagh bin Nabatah”. Ibn Hibban included him in Thiqaat and al-Hakim said he
was Thiqah Ma’moon”.
So there remain two problems with this tradition of al-Hakim:
1. Al-Uqaisa, Abu Sa’eed was weak according to majority, viz. Ibn Mu’een, Nasai, As-
Sa’di, Abu Hatim, ad-Daarqutni. They were opposed by Ibn Hibban and al-Haakim.
2. [Abu] Thabit was Majhool al-‘Ayn. No one narrates from him except Uqaisa, and there
is no criticism or praised mentioned regarding him.

Takhreej
This has been discussed briefly under Hadith Thaqalain. Recorded by Tabarani in “Al-
Kabeer” [(3/66) & (5/166)], through Abdullah bin Bukair Al-Ghanawi from Hakeem bin
Jubair from Abu Tufail from Zaid bin Arqam (ra).

Hafiz Al-Haythami, after mentioning this narration, said:

“Narrated by Tabrani, and in its first and second sanad exists Hakeem bin Jubair, who is
weak.” [Majma’ Az-Zawa’id (9/259), Daarul Fikr Beirut]
Al-Albani declared the hadith to be ‘weak’. [Silsilah Ad-dha’eefah (4914)]
Regarding the narrator ‘Hakeem ibn Jubair’, Imam Ahmed said, “He was weak,
Munkarul Hadith”. Daar Qutni said, “He was Matrook”. Nasai said, “He was not strong
(in hadith)”. [See “Meezan Al-E’itedal” (1/583)]

"Ali is the Gate of Repentance, whoever entered therein was a believer and whoever went
out was an unbeliever."

Takhreej
This tradition comes through Abu Sa’eed and Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari.
At-Tabarani relates it in “Al-Kabeer” (3/45), “Al-Awsat” (4/9) and in “As-Sagheer”
(1/240) through Husain bin Ahmed bin Mansur Sajjadah Al-Baghdadi from Abdullah bin
Daahir from Abdullah bin Abdul Quddus from A’amash from Abu Ishaq from Hanash bin
Al-Mu’tamir from Abu Dharr.
This is fabricated. Both Abdullah bin Daahir and Abdullah bin Abdul Quddus were
unreliable. There is disconnection between Abu Ishaq and Hanash. See the Takhreej of
Hadith no.-4 [Hadeeth Safeenah].

Note: - In the aticle on Hadith Safinah I said that I could not find any information
regarding Husain bin Ahmad bin Mansur Sajjadah, and now I found it, wa lillahil hamd.
Khateeb said, “There is no problem with him”. Dhahabi said, “Truthful (Sadooq)”.
[Irshad al-Qasi wa ad-Daani (1/278-279)]

From Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri, as recorded by Tabarani in “Al-Awsat” (6/85) & in “Al-
Sagheer” (2/84), through Muhammad bin `Abdul `Aziz bin Rabi’ah Al-Kilabi from his
father from Abdur-Rahman bin Hammad Al-Maqri’, from Abu Salamah As-Sa’igh from
`Atiyya from Abu Sa’eed.

This contains Atiyyah al-Awfi and he was weak. The three narrators below him were
unidentified. Refer to Takhreej on Hadith Safeenah [Hadith no.4].

Sunni references:
* Kanz al-Ummal, by al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, v6, p155, Tradition #2578
* Also abridged Kanz al-Ummal on the margin of Musnad of Ahmad Ibn Hanbal v5, p32

Takhreej
Sheikh Ali Al-Muttaqi recorded it in "Kanz Al-'Ummal" (11/612) attributing it to Al-
Bawardi, Ibn Shaheen and Ibn Mandah, and said that Ziyad bin Mutrif, in this sanad, was
unreliable (waah).

Hafiz Ibn Hajar states: Mutayyan, al-Bawardi, Ibn Jareer and Ibn Shaheen related it
through the route of Abu Ishaq from him (Ziyad bin Mutrif). Ibn Mandah said that it is
not authentic. I (Ibn Hajar) say: It contains Yahya bin Ya’la al-Muharibi and he was
unreliable (Waah). [Al-Isabah (2/587)]
Al-Albani said: His (Ibn Hajar’s) saying “al-Muharibi” was an unintentional mistake.
Rather he was “al-Aslami” [As it is mention in the Isnad of al-Mustadrak… Moin]. [Adh-
Dha’eefa (892)]

The report of Ziyad bin Mutrif was also narrated by At-Tabrani, al-Hakim and Abu
Nu'aim but it does not contain any mention of progeny or sons of Ali (ra). Hence At-
Tabrani narrated it in "Al-Kabeer" (5/194), al-Hakim in “al-Mustadrak” (4642) and Abu
Nu'aim in Al-Hilyah (4/349-350) through the way of Yahya bin Ya'la Al-Aslami from
'Ammar bin Zareeq from Abu Ishaq from Ziyad bin Mutrif from Zaid bin Arqam, and
sometimes he would not mention Zaid bin Arqam…alhadith. Abu Nu'aim said, "This
report is ghareeb from reports of Abu Ishaq. Yahya is alone in narrating it from 'Ammar".
Al-Haythami [Al-Majma' (9/108)] said, "At-Tabarani narrated it and in it Yahya bin Ya'la
al-Aslami was weak". Ibn Hajar also said that he was weak, in his At-Taqreeb (2/319).
Also, see the detail of criticism on him in Tahdheeb (11/266).
As for Ziyad bin Mutrif then it is not established that he was a Sahabi. This is the only
report which made some scholars to include him among Sahaba but this narration is
unreliable, as stated by Ibn Hajar and Ibn Mandah. Dhahabi also said that his
companionship is not proven, as quoted by al-Albani from him. See, Adh-Dha’eefa (892).

The first part of it is also related by Ibn ‘Asakir in Tarikh Damishq (42/242) through the
ruote of Muhammad bin Abdullah ash-Shaibani going back to Jabir al-Ju’fi from Abu
Tufail ‘Aamir bin Waathilah (sahabi) from Abu Dharr.
It contains Abul Mufaddhal Muhammad bin Abdullah al-Shaibani, and scholars declared
him liar. Khateeb Baghdadi said: He used to narrate unique traditions and questions from
Shuyukh, so people wrote from him based on the selection of Daarqutni. Then his lie was
exposed and people tore his traditions apart and rejected his narration. He used to
fabricate traditions for Rafidhah. [Tarikh Baghdad (5/466)]
Hamza as-Sahmi, al-Azhari and Dhahabi also declared him to be a liar. [Tarikh al-Islam
(8/624), al-Meezan (3/607-608)]

Other similar traditions

“Whosoever wishes to to live like me and die like me, and that he like to hold the stick
made of Yaqoot which Allah created with His own hand and said “be”, so it was, then he
should befriend Ali after me”.

This has been related by Abu Nu’aim (1/86, 4/174) through the route of Muhammad bin
Zakariyyah al-Ghalabi from: narrated to us Bishr bin Mihran: Narrated to us Shareek
from A’amash from Zaid bin Wahb from Hudhaifa.
Abu Nu’aim said: Bishr alone narrates it from Shareek.
Shareek bin Abdullah al-Qadhi was weak due to his bad memory.
Regarding Bishr bin ‘Abdullah, Ibn Abi Hatim said, “my father abandoned his
narrations”. Ibn Hibban listed him among trustworthy narrators. [al-Meezan (1/325)]
Muhammad bin Zakariyyah al-Ghulabi al-Basari was accused of lying. Ibn Hibban listed
him among Thiqaat but added, “his hadith should be written for backup when narrate
from reliable narrators”. This is obviously rejected. Daarqutni said, “He used to fabricate
hadith”. Al-Haakim said in his Tareekh, after relating a hadith through al-Ghalabi, “Its
narrators are trustworthy except for al-Ghalabi, and he was the problem (Aafah) of this
tradition”. Dhahabi also accused him of lying. [Lisan al-Meezan (5/168)]

Ibn al-Jawzi included this narration in Mawdhu’aat and affirmed by as-Suyuti in “al-
Laali”. Shaykh Naasir al-Albani declared it fabricated.
See: Silsila ad-Da’eefa (893).

Ibn ‘Asakir (42/242) related another route through Bishr bin Mihran. The problem with
the narrators above Bishr is same as previous. Below Bishr, it contains Husain bin
Isma’eel al-Mahdi. Hafiz al-Dhahabi enlisted him in his massive Tarikh al-Islam (6/739)
and said that al-Khaleeli mentioned him in “Masheekhah Abil Hasan al-Qattaan”, and
Ibrahim ar-Rammadi and Hudbah heard from him. But he did not mention any criticism
or praise regarding him. Another narrator Ahmad bin Yusuf bin Khallaad was trustworthy
from the Shuyukh of Daarqutni and Abu Nu’aim. [Tarikh al-Islam (8/134)] I could not
find any information regarding Muhammad bin Umar bin Suleiman. Wallahu A’lam

“Whoever wishes to live like me and die like me and enter the paradise which my Lord
has prepared should befriend ‘Ali after me, and befriend his relatives, and follow the
Imams after me, for they are my progeny. They are created through my soil [the soil
through which I am created]. They have been given intellect and knowledge. Woe to
those, from my Ummah, who deny their virtues. Those are the one who disconnect my
relationship with them. May Allah not make my intercession available for them.”

It was related by Abu Nu’aim (1/86) through the way of Muhammad Ja’far bin Abdur-
Raheem: Narrated to us Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Zaid bin Saleem: Narrated to us
Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Imran bin Abi Lailah: Narrated to Ya’qoob bin Musa fro Ibn Abi
Rawwad from Isma’eel bin Umayyah from ‘Ikramah from Ibn ‘Abbas.
Shaykh al-Albani said: The Isnad of this narration is muzlam (in darkness). Each narrator
below Ibn Abi Rawwaad is unknown. [Ad-Da’eefah (894)]
Ibn ‘Asakir said, “This hadeeth is Munkar, and in its chain are more than one unknown
narrators”. [Tarikh Damishq (42/241)]

It was related by at-Tabarani in “Al-Kabeer” (3/46) through the route of Ziyad bin al-
Mandhir from Abdur-Rahman bin Mas’ud al-‘Abdi from ‘Aleem from Salman in
mawqoof form.
Hafiz al-Haythami said, “In it exists Ziyad bin al-Mandhir, and he was Matrook”.
[Majma’ az-Zawa’id (9/172)]
Al-Albani declared this hadith to be fabricated in “Ad-Da’eefah” (4915).
Note: - The compiler of Shia encyclopedia took it from Is’aaf ar-Raghibeen, and after
checking it I found that as-Sabaan attributed that wording to a version of Hadeeth as-
Safeenah through Abu Dharr al-Ghifari. [See, Is’aaf ar-Raghibeen (pg.120) with Noor as-
Sabaah]
I could not find its Isnad anywhere, WAllah A’alam. For the versions of hadith Safeenah
through Abu Dharr, see the Takhreej under hadith no.4.

Takhreej
Reported by Hakim in “Al-Mustadrak” (4715), who declared it ‘sahih’, with the wording:

“Stars are source of protection from destruction for the people of earth, and my Ahlul
Bayt are protection from the Ikhtilaf (disagreement). Hence if a tribe from Arab will
disobey him, they’ll be included into the force of Iblees.”
Imam Dhahabi comments: “Rather this is fabricated, Ibn Arkoon was declared weak, and
likewise Khulaid bin Da’laj was declared weak by Ahmed and others.”

Hence there are two problems in the isnad of this report,

1. Ishaq bin Sa’eed bin Arkoon: Daar Qutni said, Munkirul Hadith. Abu Hatim said: He
was not trustworthy. [Al-Meezan (1/192)]
2. Khulaid bin Da’laj: Ahmed and Yahya declared him weak. Nasai said, “He was not
trustworthy”. Ibn Hibban said, “He has excessive mistake”. Daar Qutni listed him
amongst weak and rejected narrators in his book “Adh-Dhu’afa wal Matrookeen”. [Al-
Meezan 1/664]

There are shawahid for this hadith from the narration reported through Ali and Salama
bin Al-Akwa’ with somewhat similar wordings.

This was related by Al-Qatee’ee in his additions on “Fadha’il As-Sahaba” (1145) of

Imam Ahmed through the way of ‘Abdul Malik bin Harun bin ‘Antarah from his father
from his grand-father from ‘Ali that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam)
said:
“Stars are the cause for refuge of people of heaven, so when stars are gone the inhabitants
of heaven shall cease to exist. Similarly, my Ahlul Bayt are cause for the refuge of the
people of earth, so when my Ahlul Bayt are gone the people of earth shall cease to exist.”
This was also related by Abdur-Rahman bin Uthman at-Tameemi in “Musnad ‘Ali”, as
quoted by al-Albani.
Abdul Malik bin Harun bin ‘Antirah was abandoned, accused of fabricating hadeeth. Ibn
Mu’een said, ‘kadhdhab’. Abu Hatim said, ‘matrook, Dhaahibul Hadith’. As-Sa’adi said,
“He was liar Dajjaal”. Ahmed and Daarqutni said, “He was weak”. [Meezan (2/666)]
Somewhat similar wording has also been related by Abu ‘Abdullah al-Hakim in “al-
Mustadrak” (5926): Narrated to us Abul Qaasim Abdur-Rahman bin al-Hasan Qadhi at
Hamdhan: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Mugheerah al-Yashkuri: Narrated to us Qaasim
bin Hakam al-‘Urani: Narrated to us ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Murrah: Narrated to me
Muhammad bin Sooqah from Muhammad bin al-Munkadir from his father from the
Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam).
Abul Qaasim Abdur-Rahman bin Hasan, the Shaykh of Haakim, was unreliable. Qaasim
bin Abi Saleh accused him of lying. Saleh bin Ahmad al-Hamdhani said, “He was weak”.
Daarqutni said that he has seen takhleet (mix up between narrations) in his book. [Tarikh
al-Islam (8/46), Lisan al-Meezan (3/411)]
There are some dispute regardin Qasim bin Hakam and Abdullah bin ‘Amr as well. See,
Ad-Da’eefa (10/235)
This has been reported through chains but that doesn’t have the part in praise of Ahlul
Bayt. See, Ad-Da’eefa (10/235-237) for detail.

Likewise, this was also related by Abdur-Rahman bin Uthman at-Tameemi in “Musnad
‘Ali”, as quoted by al-Albani, through the route of Ma’moon (‘Abbasi caliph) from ar-
Rasheed: Narrated to me al-Mahdi from al-Mansoor: narrated to me my father from my
grand-father, he said: I heard Ibn ‘Abbas saying, “Ali bin Abi Talib said……alhadith”.
Shaykh Albani said: This Isnad severaly weak, having continuous link of Abbasid caliphs
from al-Mansoor. Their condition in hadith is not known. Ad-Da’eefa (4699)

This has been reported briefly as a hadith of Salamah bin Akwa’. Hence, Tabarani relates
it in “al-Kabeer” (7/22) and Ibn ‘Asakir in Tarikh (40/20) through Musa bin ‘Ubaidah
from Iyas bin Salamah bin Akwa’ from his father from the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa
sallam) that he said, “Stars are made to be a cause for the safety (Amaan) for the people
of heaven, and my Ahlul bayt are the cause for safety of my Ummah”.
Al-Haythami after recording it states, “Musa bin ‘Ubaidah was abandoned.” [Majma’ az-
Zawaid (9/174)]
