Note: Most of the
criticism of Muhadditheen is not on Amr bin Shu’ayb himself but their criticism
is specifically on the chain of transmission of: Amr bin Shu’ayb narrating from
his Father from his Grandfather.
And according to the Jumhoor
this chain of transmission is also authentic, as Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah
said: “The A’immah of Islaam and the Jumhoor
Scholars take evidence from the hadeeth of Amr bin Shu’ayb narrated from his
father from his grandfather when it is authentically transmitted from him…”
[Majmoo Fatawa: 8/18]
Similarly, Haafidh Ibn
al-Mulaqqin said: “The majority is upon taking
evidence from it (i.e. this Silsilah of chain) as said by Ibn as-Salaah…”
[Khulaasah Badar al-Muneer: 85]
Muhammad Yoosuf Binnori Deobandi
affirms that: “The Majority of Muhadditheen have
gone towards the strength of taking evidence from it (from this chain), and
this is the correct and Mukhtaar opinion”
[Ma’aarif us-Sunan: 3/315]
Abdur Rasheed Nu’maani Deobandi
writes: “The Majority of Muhadditheen consider
these ahaadeeth of Amr bin Shu’ayb to be Hujjah and Saheeh”
[Ibn Maajah aur Ilm Hadeeth: P.
141]
Shaykh ul-Islaam al-Bulqaynee (rahimahullah)
has written a separate book in proving the authentication of the chain of: Amr
bin Shu’ayb narrating from his Father from his Grandfather, and he says: “The correct opinion is that towards which the Jumhoor
Muhadditheen have gone which is to take evidence from it”
[Mahaasin al-Istalaah Sharh
Muqaddimah Ibn as-Salaah: P. 481]
In short, the hadeeth of Amr bin
Shu’ayb narrated from his father from his grandfather is Saheeh and Hujjah
according to the Jumhoor. For more details on the authenticity of this chain,
