Abu al- Yaqdan Ammar b. Musa al- Sabaty, a Kufi dwelled in Mada'in reported traditions on
the authority of Abu Abd Allah and Abu al- Hasan. He was attributed to the Fatahiya. If this

Kashy has mentioned this tradition in three pages: 164, 256, and 313. The jurisprudents

unlawful. The companions acted according to the traditions he reported. He reported many
traditions. Whoever reads carefully the books of tradition knows that he reported many
traditions. In al- Fihrist, the Shaykh said: "He has a good, reliable book (i.e. a group of

Mohammed, peace be on them, I knew that he was among the descendants of the prophets."

peace be on him, said: "How a few the pilgrims are!" Then Amru b. Abu al- Muqdam passed
