Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Abu Talib (a.s) The Narrators Now we discuss the series of narrators of these traditions to see their positions and their weights in the scales of the men of Hadith. 1. The first tradition: a. Obeidillah al-Qawareeri: we didn't find any mention of him in Mizanul I'tidal.

We found one tradition in al-Ghadeer that Obeidillah was one of the narrators but the author said about him: "Al-Bukhari mentioned only five traditions narrated by Obeidillah al-Qawareeri and Muslim mentioned forty traditions. Ahmed bin Yahya heard from him one hundred thousand traditions. So what about this rubbish narrated by this man that al-Bukhari and Muslim didn't quote from this man save a few traditions and brushed the rest aside?

It was not possible that they hadn't known the rest of his traditions." (1) b. Muhammad bin Abu Bakr al-Maqdimi: we didn't find any mention of him save Muhammad bin Abu Bakr only and it was said that he was unknown. (2) A false tradition was mentioned in al-Ghadeer and one of its narrators was Muhammad bin Abu Bakr al-Maqdimi. (3) c. Muhammad bin Abdul Melik al-Amawi: It was enough for him to be an Umayyad man to fabricate such a tradition or to narrate traditions like it against Abu Talib.

If he was Muhammad bin Abdul Melik bin Marwan bin al-Hakam, it would be enough for us that his father was that Umayyad tyrant and his two grandfathers were cursed by the Prophet (s), who called them as the deviants. ____________ 1 Al-Ghadeer, vol.9 p.295 from Tahtheeb at-Tahtheeb vol.7 p.41. 2 Mizanul I'tidal, vol.3 p.96. 3 Al-Ghadeer, vol.9 p.270. Al-Hakam and his offspring were cursed by the Prophet (s). The Prophet (s) had expelled al-Hakam from Medina.

Marwan was but a leftover of the curse of the Prophet (s) as Aa'isha had said. As for this Muhammad, Abu Dawood said about him: "He was not sane." (1) d. Abu Owana: we couldn't know who he was. e. Abdul Melik bin Omayr: ath-Thahabi said about him: "He became the judge of Kuffa after ash-Shi'bi. He lived for a long time and so his memory became weak." Abu Hatim said about him: "He was not a good memorizer. His memory changed.
