Refer to Mizanul I'tidal, vol.2 p.151. 2 Al-Bayan wet-Tebyeen vol.3 p.371. this name as one of the unknown names. (1) b. We couldn't know who Wakee' was. If he was Wakee' bin aj-Jarrah, then ibn al-Medeeni said about him: "Wakee' often mistook and if I narrated from him, it would be so odd. He often said: Ash-Shi'bi told us from Aa'isha...!

(2) Ahmed bin Hanbal was asked: "If Wakee' and Abdur Rahman bin Mehdi disagreed about something, whose saying we would depend upon?" He said: "Abdur Rahman is more fit especially if Sufyan was there." And this tradition was narrated by Wakee' from Sufyan. Ath-Thahabi thought that he might complete the ring of criticism by saying about ibn al-Medeeni in his book at-Tahtheeb: "He had a little thing of Shiism." This tone of ath-Thahabi was clear in expressing his abominable sectarianism.

If he wanted to exaggerated in criticizing someone, he would ascribe him to Shiism, which was considered by him as worse than unbelief and blasphemy. We wouldn't argue with him about this but we wanted to show that he had contradicted himself. If this narrator was not trusty because of his Shiism then why did they depend upon his tradition? If he was really a Shia, this tradition wouldn't be his because it would contradict his actual belief about Abu Talib.

"No one knew who he was!" (1) b. Al-Layth: there were many persons having this name.

Most of them were either unknown or weak or whose traditions were denied or confused ... etc. If he was al-Layth bin Sa'eed -as the author of Sheikhul Abtah said (2)- then Yahya bin Mo'een said about him: "He took traditions from the old men unthoughtfully and depended upon hearing from this and that." An-Nabatiy mentioned him in his commenting on the book al-Kamil as one of the weak narrators. (3) c.

Yazeed bin Abdullah bin al-Had: Abu Abdullah al-Hadda' mentioned him among those, who were accused of being unreliable. Ibn Mo'een said about him: "He narrated fro every one." (4) d. Abdullah bin Khabba: aj-Jawzajani said about him: "No one knew him." (5) The narrators of the sixth tradition: a.
