Criticisms:
A very few Scholars have criticized him just
because of his being a Shi’aa, but it is established in the principles of
hadeeth that the narration of Shi’aa does not affect the authenticity of a
hadeeth as long as the narrator is reliable. Shi’aa in the terminology of
Mutaqaddimeen (early scholars) means the one who gives preference to Ali over
Uthmaan, and says that in their wars, Ali was on the right path while Uthmaan
was mistaken. And some of them believed that Ali possessed the highest rank
among the Sahaabah after the Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him). Such is a
person who was deemed Shi’aa by the early Scholars; the narrations of such
person are acceptable, unlike the later Scholars who deemed Shi’aa to be the
one who maligns Sahaabah [Raafidah] whose narrations are not acceptable at all.
[See: Tahdheeb at-Tahdheeb: 1/81; Hadi us-Saari: 1/460]. Thus, the accusation
of being a Shi’aa on Aa’idh does not drop him from the level of Ihtijaaj.
Moreover, Haafidh Ibn Hajar has graded him to
be Weak in Ithaaf al-Maharah (13473).
This criticism of Ibn Hajar is not accepted,
as it goes the vast majority of Muhadditheen who deemed him Thiqah and Sudooq
in Hadeeth.
