9 - ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, saying: Muḥammad ibn Abī Ḥātim narrated to us, saying: Mūsā ibn Dāwūd narrated to us, saying: Ibn Lahīʿa narrated to us, from Sayyār ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, who said: Bukayr ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ashajj said to me: "What did your uncle do?" He said: I said: "He has stayed in his house since such and such a time." So he said: "Indeed, men from the people of Badr stayed in their houses after the killing of ʿUthmān—may Allāh brighten his face—and they did not go out except to their graves." (1)

Notes

  • (1) Its chain of transmission is weak (da'if):
    In its chain of transmission is Ibn Lahīʿa; his memory deteriorated (mukhtaliṭ), and Mūsā ibn Dāwūd heard from him after his memory deteriorated.
    A group of his early companions heard from Ibn Lahīʿa, among them: Ibn al-Mubārak, Ibn Wahb, and Ibn al-Muqriʾ; mention of them will come, God willing, in its proper place along with the proofs. And Allah is the Grantor of success.
