- "He offered a sacrifice on his own behalf after he was sent as a Prophet." It is narrated through two chains from Anas (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu): the first is from ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Muḥarrir from Qatādah from him. It was recorded by ʿAbd al-Razzāq in "al-Muṣannaf" (4/329/7960) and through him by Ibn Ḥibbān in "al-Ḍuʿafāʾ" (2/33), al-Bazzār in "Musnad" (2/74/1237 - Kashf al-Astār), and Ibn ʿAdī in "al-Kāmil" (Q 209/1), who said: "The narrations of ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Muḥarrir are not preserved." Al-Bazzār said: "ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Muḥarrir is the sole narrator of this, and he is very weak; only what is not found with others is written from him." Al-Dhahabī mentioned it in his biography in "al-Mīzān" as one of his calamities! Al-Ḥāfiẓ attributed it in "al-Talkhīṣ" (4/147) to al-Bayhaqī, saying: "He said: It is munkar, and it includes ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Muḥarrir, who is very weak, and ʿAbd al-Razzāq said: They only criticized him because of this ḥadīth." Al-Bayhaqī said: "It is also narrated through another chain from Qatādah, and another from Anas, but it is nothing." I say: As for the other chain from Qatādah, I have not seen it elevated; it is only reported that he used to give fatwá with it, as Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr mentioned. Al-Bazzār and others even asserted that ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Muḥarrir was the sole narrator from Qatādah. As for the other chain from Anas, it was recorded by Abū al-Shaykh in "al-Aḍāḥī," Ibn Aʿyan in "Muṣannaf," and al-Khallāl through the chain of ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Muthanná... I say: This is the following chain, and it was recorded by several others more famous than those mentioned, as will be shown. The claim of exclusivity narrated from Qatādah will be refuted by the words of al-Ḥāfiẓ himself
