Praise be to Allah. <\/span>\r\n

This hadeeth was narrated by al-Daylami in Musnad al-Firdaws – as al-Hafiz al-‘Iraqi said – from the report of Makhool from Abu’l-Darda. It is a da’eef (weak) hadeeth, for Makhool did not hear anything from Abu’l-Darda. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

See Takhreej Ihya ‘Uloom al-Deen, 4\/191. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

It was also narrated by Abu Na’eem in al-Hilyah (6\/5) from the report of Mujahid from Ka’b al-Ahbar. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

And he narrated it in 6\/37 from the report of Qutadah from Ka’b al-Ahbaar. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Both isnads (chains of narration) include Ishaq ibn Bishr al-Kahili, who is matrook [i.e., his hadeeth is not accepted]. Abu Zar’ah said: he used to tell lies.  <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Al-Daraqutni said he is kaththab matrook (i.e., a liar whose hadeeth is not to be accepted). Al-Azdi said: his hadeeth is to be rejected and is not valid, and he was accused of lying. Ibn Hibban said: he used to fabricate hadeeth and attribute them to trustworthy narrators (thiqat); his hadeeth should not be written down except by way of amusing oneself with something weird. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

See al-Jarh wa’l-Ta’deel, 2\/214; al-Du’afa wa’l-Matrookeen by Ibn al-Jawzi, 1\/100. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

He is one of the storytellers and time-wasters. Al-Thahabi said in his biography of him: the shaykh, the scholar, the storyteller, the weak narrator (da’eef), the time-waster, Abu Hudhayfah Ishaq ibn Bishr ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Abd-Allah ibn Salim al-Hashimi, whose teacher was al-Bukhari the author of al-Mubtada, which is a well known book in two volumes. Ibn Jareer and others narrated from him, and in it he spoke of weird and disastrous things. <\/span><\/p>\r\n
