Sunan an-Nasa'i 1786
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الرَّازِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الرَّازِيُّ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ فِي الْحَدِيثِ .
Ahmad ibn Nasr informed us; he said: Yahya ibn Abi Bukayr narrated to us; he said: Abu Ja‘far al-Razi narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir, from Sa‘id ibn Jubayr, from ‘A’ishah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said something similar to the preceding report. Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman said: ‘Abu Ja‘far al-Razi is not strong in hadith.’
Translation notes
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الرَّازِيُّ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ فِي الْحَدِيثِ .
The Arabic includes Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman’s assessment that Abu Ja‘far al-Razi is not strong in hadith; the English witness omits this note.
Should this narrator assessment be retained?
