حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَحَسَنٌ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ کِلَاهُمَا عَنْ عَفَّانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ کُنَّا عِنْدَ إِسْمَعِيلَ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ فَحَدَّثَ رَجُلٌ عَنْ رَجُلٍ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ هَذَا لَيْسَ بِثَبْتٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ اغْتَبْتَهُ قَالَ إِسْمَعِيلُ مَا اغْتَابَهُ وَلَکِنَّهُ حَکَمَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِثَبْتٍ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 84
Abd Allah bin Abd ar-Rahman ad-Dārimī narrated to me, he said: ‘I heard Abū Nu’aym and he mentioned al-Mu’allā bin Urfān, so [Abū Nu’aym] said, [al-Mu’allā] said: ‘Abū Wā’il narrated to us, he said ‘Ibn Mas’ūd attacked us on the day of Siffīn’. So Abū Nu’aym said: ‘Do you think he was raised after death? [Ibn Mas’ūd passed away in 32 or 33H, several years before the day in question]
