I said: And this isnād is very weak; all its men are trustworthy except for this Ḍirār, who is abandoned in ḥadīth as stated by al-Bukhārī and al-Nasāʾī, and others have also weakened him. However, Abū Ḥātim said about him: "Truthful, a person of the Quran and obligations, his ḥadīth is written but not used as evidence. He narrated a ḥadīth from Muʿtamir from his father from al-Ḥasan from Anas from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) regarding the virtue of some Companions, which is rejected by those knowledgeable in ḥadīth." I said: And the summarization of that by the ḥāfiẓ is: "Truthful, but with errors." It is not hidden what leniency there is in this, and perhaps al-Munāwī was deceived by it when he said in "al-Taysīr": "And its isnād is acceptable." However, he was not alone in narrating it, for the ḥāfiẓ said in "al-Talkhīṣ" (4/165): "It was narrated by Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim (meaning in 'al-Jihād') and al-Ṭabarānī from the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAbbās, and the isnād of Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim is acceptable." I said: And perhaps this narration of Ibn Abī ʿĀṣim is from the path narrated by Abū Yaʿlá in "Musnad" (4/303/2413), and from him al-Ḍiyāʾ in "al-Mukhtārah" (64/24/2) with his authentic isnād from Thawr ibn Zayd from Isḥāq ibn Jābir from ʿIkrimah from Ibn ʿAbbās with it. And al-Ḍiyāʾ said: "Isḥāq ibn Jābir al-ʿAdanī, Ibn Abī Ḥātim did not mention him in (his book)." I said: Indeed, he did mention him, but he said: "Isḥāq ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-ʿAdanī, he is the one called Isḥāq ibn Jābir." So it seems Jābir is his grandfather. And thus al-Bukhārī mentioned him (1/1/397) attributed to his father ʿAbd Allāh. As for Ibn Ḥibbān, he mentioned him in "al-Thiqāt" (8/107) attributed to his grandfather with the narration of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Nāfiʿ al-Ṣāʾigh from him. Two trustworthy narrators have narrated from him: this one, and Thawr ibn Zayd, so perhaps for this reason the ḥāfiẓ said:
