Sahl Ibn Ziyad Ar-Razi

Abu Ja’far At-Tusi writes:“Sahl Ibn Ziyad Al-Adami Ar-Razi with the epithet Abu Sa’id is weak (Da’if) and has a book that Ibn Abi Junaid narrated to us from Muhammad Ibn Al-Hasan, who narrated it from Muhammad Ibn Yahya, who narrated it from Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Yahya and Muhammad Ibn Al-Hasan Ibn Al-Walid and Al-Himyari narrated it from Ahmad Ibn Abi Abdillah.” [Al-Fihrist, page 80]

قال أبو جعفر الطوسي: سهل بن زياد الآدمي الرازي أبو سعيد ضعيف له كتاب أخبرنا به ابن أبي جنيد عن محمد بن الحسن عن محمد بن يحيى عن محمد بن أحمد بن يحيى عنه ورواه محمد بن الحسن بن الوليد والحميري عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله عنه

Abu Ja’far At-Tusi writes: “Sahl Ibn Ziyad Al-Adami, who bears the epithet Abu Sa’id Ar-Razi, is trustworthy (Thiqah).” [Ar-Rijal, page 387]

قال أبو جعفر الطوسي: سهل بن زاد الآدمي يكنى أبا سعيد ثقة رازيComment:

There is no contradiction in the fact that At-Tusi calls him “weak” (Da’if) and “trustworthy” (Thiqah), because he also says “weak” when a narrator gives different answers to the same issue, while still sticking to its tradition and making judgments from it [Here]

Muhammad Baqir Al-Majlisi writes: “Being spread as weak (Da’if).” [Mir’at-ul-Uqul, Volume 1 Page 76 Hadith 16]

قال محمد باقر المجلسي: ضعيف على المشهور

Muhammad Baqir Al-Majlisi writes: “Sahl Ibn Ziyad is weak (Da’if) and since he is one of the recognized teachers, in my opinion, his weakness does not harm him.” [Ar-Rijal, page 224 number 870]

قال محمد باقر المجلسي: سهل بن زياد ضعيف وعندي لا يضر ضعفه لكونه من مشايخ الإجازة

Muhammad Baqir Al-Majlisi writes: “Authentic (Sahih).” [Mir’at-ul-Uqul, Volume 2 Page 349 Hadith 6]

قال محمد باقر المجلسي: صحيح

Abu Al-Husain Al-Ghada’iri writes: “Sahl Ibn Ziyad with the epithet Abu Sa’id Al-Adami Ar-Razi was very weak (Da’if) and corrupt (Fasid) in tradition and religion. Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Isa Al-Ash’ari threw him out of Qum and publicly renounced him and forbade the people to hear from him and to transmit.” [Ar-Rijal, page 67]

قال أبو الحسين الغضائري: سهل بن زياد أبو سعيد الآدمي الرازي كان ضعيفا جدا فاسد الرواية والدين وكان أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى الأشعري أخرجه من قم وأظهرا البراءة منه ونهى الناس عن السماع منه والرواية عنه

 Abu Al-Qasim Al-Khu’i writes: “As a result, the book (Ar-Rijal) attributed to Ibn Al-Ghada’iri has been found to be unauthentic. Rather, some of them are certain that it is a lie (Mawdu’) and that our opponents fabricated it and attributed it to Ibn Al-Ghada’iri.” [Mu’jam Rijal Al-Hadith, Volume 1 Page 96]

قال أبو القاسم الخوئي: المتحصل من ذلك أن الكتاب (الرجال) المنسوب إلى ابن الغضائري لم يثبت بل جزم بعضهم بأنه موضوع وضعه المخالفين ونسبه إلى ابن الغضائري
