Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #27437

Ali bin Hajar and Ali bin Khashram told us, they said: Issa bin Yunus told us, on the authority of Al-Amash, on the authority of Abu Sufyan, on the authority of Jabir, he said: He forbade The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, about the price of dogs and cats. Abu Issa said: This is a hadith in which there is confusion in its chain of transmission, and it is not authentic regarding the price of cats. This hadith was narrated on the authority of Al-A'mash, on the authority of some of its companions, on the authority of Jabir. They were upset over Al-A'mash regarding the narration of this hadith. Some of the people of knowledge disliked the price of a cat, and some of them made it cheap. This is the view of Ahmad and Ishaq. And Ibn Fudayl narrated on the authority of Al-Amash on the authority of my father Hazim, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, through another narration.
