and his teacher ʿAbd al-Karīm—who is Ibn Abī al-Mukhāriq al-Baṣrī—is also weak. Saʿīd ibn Yazīd; it appears that he is Abū Salamah al-Azdī al-Baṣrī; Ibn Maʿīn declared him trustworthy, and Abū Ḥātim said: "Righteous." Understanding the ḥadīth: I say: perhaps the man for whom this severe warning was issued was due to something other than merely leaving two or three dinars; because such a matter does not warrant its owner the Fire by consensus of the scholars.
