Ahmad narrated it (4/155): Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrated to us, Ibn Lahīʿah narrated to us, Musharrah ibn Hāʿān narrated to me, saying, I heard ʿUqbah ibn ʿĀmir say: I heard the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) say: and he mentioned it. Al-Tirmidhī narrated it (2/316): Qutaybah narrated to us, Ibn Lahīʿah narrated it with the same isnād. And he said: "This is a strange ḥadīth; we do not know it except from the ḥadīth of Ibn Lahīʿah from Musharrah ibn Hāʿān, and its isnād is not strong." I say: Musharrah ibn Hāʿān was deemed trustworthy by Ibn Maʿīn and others, while some weakened him. In my view, his ḥadīth is ḥasan. Although Ibn Lahīʿah is weak due to poor memory, the narration of the ʿAbādilah from him authenticates his ḥadīth, as mentioned in his biography. This is from the narration of two of them: Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, whose name is ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yazīd al-Muqriʾ, and ʿAbd Allāh ibn Wahb. In the ḥadīth, there is a great virtue for ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu), as the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) testified that he is a believer. This necessitates the testimony for him of Paradise, due to the Prophet's (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) saying in the well-known authentic ḥadīth: "None shall enter Paradise except a believing soul," agreed upon. And Allāh said: "Allāh has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds gardens beneath which rivers flow" (Sūrah al-Tawbah, verse 72). Based on this, it is not permissible to criticize ʿAmr (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) as some contemporary writers do, and others who oppose, due to what occurred to him of disagreement and even fighting with ʿAlī (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu). Because that does not negate faith, as it does not entail infallibility, as is not hidden, especially if it is said that it occurred from him with a type of ijtihād, and not following desires
