Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Truth about the '' Part 2: The Narrators and Transmitters of Hadith of al-Nujum Plus Viewpoints of the Scholars of al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil The Narrators of Hadith of al-Nujum Although the Hadith of al-Nujum is famous among Sunni scholars and has various chains of transmission, none of which has been left immune from the sneers of the Sunni eminent scholars and experts of al-jarh wa al-ta‘dil.

Abdullah bin Umar's Narration and Its Narrators The hadith of al-Nujum has been related from Abdullah bin Umar and there exists in its sanad the name of the following people: Abdur Rahim bin Zayd If anyone refers to Bukhari's Al-Dhu‘afa’, Nisai's Al-Dhu‘afa’, Ibn Abi Hatam's Al-'Ilal, Ibn Jawzi's Al-Mawdhu‘at and Al-'Ilal al-Mutinahiya, Zahabi's Mizan al-I‘tidal, Al- Kashif, and Al-Mughni, Khazraji's Khulasatu Tadhhib al-Kamal, and other reliable sources, they will notice frequent words of sneers and reprehensions about this person; such as "he is insignificant", "a liar", "weak", "the evil liar".

We have already mentioned some of the eminent Sunni scholars' view and sayings about him in different parts of this book. Zayd Ammi Another narrator who has narrated this tradition is Zayd Ammi.

The weakness of this person has also been asserted; however, we have already quoted Manawi as relating from Ibn Adi that: "All of the traditions narrated from him and those who narrated from him are weak." Hamza Jazri The Hadith of al-Nujum is related from Abdullah bin Umar through another sanad in which Hamza Jazri is named one of the transmitters. It is reported in Bukhari's Al-Dhu'fa that Hamza bin Abu Hamza Nasibi has narrated unknown traditions.

And in Nisai's Al- Dhu'afa’ it has been said that Hamza Jazri 's narrations are abandoned." Yahya’i has said in his Al-Mawdhu‘at: "Hamza Jazri is insignificant" and Ibn Adi has said: "He fabricates hadith"; and in the same book Ahmad Hanbal and Yahya are reported as saying: "Hamza Jazri's traditions are discarded."It is also reported from Yahya that "he is not worth anything".

Similar comments are reported from Abu Hayyan in Al-Bahr al- Muhit and from Zahabi in Al-Mizan and Al-Kashif and other books as mentioned before.
