Abdur Rahmaan bin Mas’ood al-Yashkuri


Name:

عبد الرحمن بن مسعود اليَشْكُري
Abdur Rahmaan bin Mas’ood al-Yashkuri

Tabaqah: 3 – From the Middle Level of Taabi’een

Teachers: Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri, Abu Hurayrah (radiallah anhum)

Students: Ja’far bin Abi Wahshiyyah

Status: Maqbool (i.e. If supported then accepted, otherwise remains weak)

Opinions of Ahl ul-Jarh wat Ta’deel:

1-    Imaam Ibn Hibbaan mentioned him in Kitaab ath-Thiqaat
[5/106]

However, Imaam Ibn Hibbaan is known for his Tasaahul in authenticating Majhool narrators. So his saying is not hujjah here.

2-    Imaam Abu Abdullah al-Haakim al-Neesaaboori authenticated his hadeeth saying: “Its chain is Saheeh”
[Al-Mustadrak al-Haakim: H. 4777]

The hadeeth he said this under is most likely due to its supporting narrations. Moreover, even Haakim is Mutasaahil in his Mustadrak, in fact, even more lenient than Ibn Hibbaan. 

3-    Haafidh Noor ud-Deen al-Haythami said: “He is Thiqah”
[Majma az-Zawaaid: 5/240]

Note: Haythami is a Muta'khkhir and is not a Naaqid so his opinion does not even count. In fact, he mostly relies only on the Tawtheeq of Ibn Hibbaan and is Mutasaahil himself. So it is not accepted from him.

Conclusion:

Abdur Rahmaan bin Mas’ood al-Yashkari is Maqbool meaning, his narration will be accepted if he is supported by others and not otherwise.

Ibraaheem bin Uyaynah bin Abi Imraan al-Hilaali al-Koofi, Abu Ishaaq




Name:

Status: Sadooq, Hasan ul-Hadeeth

Opinions of Ahl ul-Jarh wat Ta’deel:

Those who criticized him:

1-    Imaam Ahmed bin Hanbal said: “…He would narrate ahaadeeth in which he would oppose (ankara)” and he (Ahmed) had lenient opinion about him.
[Al-Ilal of Ahmed narrated by Al-Marwazi: 1/122]

2-    Imaam Abu Zur’ah ar-Raazi said: “He is Da’eef ul-Hadeeth”
[Ad-Du’afa by Abu Zur’ah ar-Raazi: 2/460]

3-    Imaam Abu Haatim ar-Raazi said: “He is a Shaykh, he comes up with Manaakeer”
[Al-Jarh wat Ta’deel: 2/119]

Note: Narrating Manaakeer is way different than being “Munkar ul-Hadeeth”. The later denotes complete abandonment of the narrator’s hadeeth while the former does not denote continuity and it is not considered a reliable Jarh.

4-    Haafidh Ibn al-Jawzee mentioned him in ad-Du’afa wal Matrokeen
[1/45]

5-    Haafidh al-Haythami said: “He is weakened by the Majority”
[Majma az-Zawaaid: 1/24]

Those who praised him:

1-    Imaam Yahya ibn Ma’een said: “He is Muslim, Sadooq, he is not from the Ashaab al-Hadeeth”
[Su’aalaat Ibn al-Junayd: 1/332]

2-    Imaam Abu al-Hasan al-Ijlee said: “He is Sadooq”
[Ath-Thiqaat: 1/53]

3-    Imaam Abu Awaanah authenticated his hadeeth in his Saheeh
[H. 8371]

4-    Imaam Ibn Hibbaan mentioned him in Ath-Thiqaat
[8/59]

Ibn Hibbaan also authenticated his narrations in his Saheeh
[H. 2895, 5241]

5-    Imaam Dhahabi said: “His Hadeeth is Saalih”
[Meezaan al-I’tidaal: 1/51]

6-    Haafidh Ibn Hajar al-Asqalaani said: “He is Sadooq, makes (a few) mistakes”
[Taqreeb: 227]

Conclusion:

The hadeeth of Ibraaheem bin Uyaynah does not drop from the level of Hasan. Shaykh Albaani and Shaykh Zubayr Alee Za’ee also consider him Hasan ul-Hadeeth.

At one place, Imaam Ibn Abi Haatim said, I asked My Father (Imaam Abu Haatim ar-Raazi) about Ibn Abi Habeebah, so he said: “He is a Shaikh Laisa Biqawi (Not strong), Write his narrations, and do not take evidence from him, he is Munkar ul-Hadeeth….”
