Does Anything Corrupt People Except People?

8 - ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, ʿAbd Allāh narrated to me, ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, Dahtham ibn al-Faḍl al-Qurashī narrated to me, saying: Muḥammad ibn ʿUkaym informed us: Mālik ibn Anas narrated to us, from a man, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: "Were it not for the fear of misgivings (waswās), I would go to a land where there is no companion. For does anything corrupt people except people?" (1)

Notes

  • (1) Its chain of transmission is weak (da'if):
    The shaykh of Mālik ibn Anas is not named, so he is unknown in both identity (majhūl al-ʿayn) and state (majhūl al-ḥāl).
