Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #27873

Mahmoud bin Ghaylan told us, Abu Ahmad told us, Sufyan told us, on the authority of Ibn Abi Laila, on the authority of Al-Hakam, on the authority of Miqsam, on the authority of Ibn Abbas, The polytheists wanted to buy the body of a man from the polytheists, but the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, refused to sell it to them. Abu Issa said. This is a strange hadith that we only know from the hadith of al-Hikam. Al-Hajjaj bin Artaat also narrated it on the authority of al-Hikam. Ahmad bin al-Hasan said: I heard Ahmad ibn Hanbal say that Ibn Abi Laila does not take his hadith as evidence. And Muhammad ibn Ismail Ibn Abi Laila is truthful, but no. His hadith is known to be authentic from weak, and I do not narrate anything from him. Ibn Abi Laila is an honest jurist, but he is only concerned with the chain of transmission. Nasr ibn Nasr told us Ali said: Abdullah bin Dawud told us on the authority of Sufyan Ath-Thawri. Our jurists said: Ibn Abi Layla and Abdullah bin Shubrumah.
