Nasb-and-the-Nawasib

حريز بن عثمان ليس بشيء في الحديث
Ḥarīz ibn ʿUthmān is not anything in ḥadīth. 1
He also said about him:
كان داعية إلى مذهبه يتنكب حديثه
He would invite toward his dogma and thus his narrations should be
neglected. 2
Isḥāq ibn Suwayd: 3 He would denigrate ʿAlī I. 4 Although he was
satisfactory but some transmitter critics have impugned him because of
this. Hence Abū al-ʿArab al-Tamīmī 5 states that he would say, “I would not
love ʿAlī.” and thereafter al-Tamīmī would say:
من لم يحب الصحابة فليس بثقة ول كرامة
Whoever does not love the Ṣaḥābah is not a reliable narrator, never can
he be. 6
