حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَی الْحِمَّانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ وَأَخُوهُ أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا الْجَرَّاحَ بْنَ مَلِيحٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُا عِنْدِي سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ حَدِيثٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کُلُّهَا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 55
Salamah bin Shabīb narrated to me, al-Humaydī narrated to us, Sufyān narrated to us, he said: ‘The people would transmit from Jābir before there appeared what appeared, then when there appeared what appeared, the people imputed him in his Ḥadīth and some of the people abandoned him’. So it was said to [Sufyān]: ‘What appeared?’ [Sufyān] said: ‘Belief in ar-Raj’ah’.
