it was recorded by Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim (1373) with a weak chain from him, and he is al-Muhājir ibn ʿUmayrah. This is how it was mentioned in "al-Jarḥ wa-al-Taʿdīl" (4/1/261) from the narration of ʿAdī ibn Thābit al-Anṣārī from him. No criticism or commendation was mentioned about him, and similarly, he is in "Thiqāt Ibn Ḥibbān" (3/256). 5 - Abū Ayyūb al-Anṣārī. It is narrated by Riyāḥ ibn al-Ḥārith who said: "A group came to ʿAlī in al-Raḥbah and said: Peace be upon you, O our master. He said: How can I be your master when you are Arab people?
