and Ṣafwān: he is Ibn ʿAmr, the Saksi from Ḥimṣ, and he is among the narrators of Muslim. And Abū al-Mughīrah: his name is ʿAbd al-Quddūs ibn al-Ḥajjāj al-Khawlānī from Ḥimṣ, among the narrators of the two Shaykhs [al-Bukhārī and Muslim]. As for the mursal report of Ḥarīz ibn ʿUthmān; al-Ḥasan ibn ʿArafah said in his "Juzʾ" (66): Shabābah ibn Sawwār narrated to us from Ḥarīz ibn ʿUthmān that the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) prayed ... the ḥadīth. And from the route of al-Ḥasan: it was extracted by Ibn ʿAsākir (16/684). This is also a reliable mursal isnād from Shām; for al-Ḥasan ibn ʿArafah is a trustworthy narrator among the shaykhs of al-Tirmidhī and Ibn Mājah. And Shabābah ibn Sawwār: a trustworthy ḥāfiẓ among the narrators of the two Shaykhs. And Ḥarīz ibn ʿUthmān: he is al-Raḥabī from Ḥimṣ, and he is a trustworthy narrator among the narrators of al-Bukhārī; however, he harbored enmity towards ʿAlī, may Allāh curse him! Therefore, Ibn Ḥibbān included him in "al-Ḍuʿafāʾ" (1/268-269), and he said in his "Ṣaḥīḥ" - after citing the ḥadīth of ʿUqbah ibn ʿĀmir regarding the tashahhud after ablution from two routes from him, one of which is: from Abū ʿUthmān from Jubayr ibn Nufayr from him (3/325-328/1050 - al-Muʾassasah) -: "This Abū ʿUthmān resembles Ḥarīz ibn ʿUthmān al-Raḥabī, and we relied on this last isnād because Ḥarīz ibn ʿUthmān is insignificant in ḥadīth!" I see that Ibn Ḥibbān's stance on Ḥarīz - despite the overwhelming consensus of the imāms on his reliability, a rare consensus we seldom see for many well-known trustworthy narrators, with some describing him with the aforementioned enmity - is an apparent exaggeration, based on his own school of thought which..
