[1/261] Rijal al-Kashshi: Hamduwayh b. Nusayr from al-Ubaydi from Ibn Abi Umayr from Abd al-Rahman b. al-Hajjaj from Ismail b. Jabir who said: I was with Abi Abdillah عليه السلا٠in the vicinity of Makka when he said to me: O Ismail, proceed until you reach Marra or Usfan [two stations on the road between Makka and Madina] and ask [anyone you encounter on the way] – is there any incident which has occurred in Madina.

He [Ismail] said: I went out until I reached Marra but did not encounter anyone. Then I proceeded until I reached Usfan but did not encounter anyone. I decided to turn around. When I began leaving Usfan I encountered a caravan carrying olives from Usfan. I said to them: Is there any incident which has occurred in Madina? They said: No, except the killing of this Iraqi called al-Mualla b. Khunays.

He [Ismail] said: I returned to Abi Abdillah عليه السلا٠so when he saw me he said to me: O Ismail – al-Mualla b. Khunays has been killed? I said: Yes. He said: by Allah he has entered paradise. عتبر - Shaykh Asif al-Mohseni (Muʿjam al-Aḥādīth al-Muʿtabara)
