Al-'Aqeeli said: There is no corroborating evidence for this hadith. Ibn Abi I:Iatim said: I asked my father about Masroo]J and showed him some of his hadiths. He said: He needs to repent from a false hadith that he narrated from ath-Thawri. lbn I:Iibban said: It is not permissible to quote his report as evidence because all that he reports is contrary to what is proven. al-Majroo/:zeen, 3119; al-Mizan, 4197. 8 al-Ajurri, ash-Sharee 'ah, 5 :2161; its chain of narration is weak - it includes Muhammad ibn 'Eesa ibn I:Iayyan al-Mada'ini.

Shaykh 'Uthmiin al-Khamees said: From studying the chain of narration of the hadith, it is clear that it is very weak because of the status of Muhammad ibn I:Iumayd and lbraheem ibn 'Ali, 289. 20 al-Haythami, Majma' az-Zawa'idwa Manha' al-Fawa'id, 9:176. This is a mursal hadith; its chain of narrators includes Zam'ah ibn Sali]J, who is weak. 21 al-Maqdisi, at-Tabiyeenfee Ansab al-Qurashiyeen, 102. 22 al-Khamees, al-A/:zddeeth al-Waridah fee Sha 'n as-Sibfayn al-lfasan wal-lfusayn, 182; it is good because of corroborating evidence.
