27 - ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, he said: Muḥammad ibn Abī Ḥātim al-Azdī narrated to me, he said: I heard ʿAbd Allāh ibn Dāwūd mention from al-Awzāʿī, from Makḥūl, who said: "If virtue lies in congregation, then safety lies in seclusion." (1)
Notes
- (1) Sahih (Authentic): Transmitted by al-Bayhaqī in al-Zuhd al-Kabīr (126), via Musaddad: ʿĪsā ibn Yūnus narrated to us, from al-Auzāʿī, with it. I say: And this chain of transmission is authentic. And al-Auzāʿī was supported; he was supported by Saʿīd ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz, from Makḥūl, with it: Transmitted by Ibn Ḥibbān in Rawḍat al-ʿUqalāʾ (p. 185), and al-Bayhaqī in al-Zuhd (125), via Abū Mushir from Saʿīd, with it. I say: And this is an authentic Levantine chain of transmission.
