حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ اللُّؤْلُؤِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الرَّازِيُّ ، عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : "مَنْ خَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ "، لا يُرْوَى عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، إِلا بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الرَّازِيُّ ، وَخَالِدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ

Hadith Authentication:
The chain of narration for this report is weak.
◄ The narrators of this report—Khalid ibn Yazid al-‘Utki, Abu Ja‘far al-Razi, and Rabi‘ ibn Anas—were considered hasan al-hadith (acceptable in hadith) by the majority of hadith scholars due to their authentication. However:
Hafiz Ibn Hibban said regarding Rabi‘ ibn Anas:
«والناس يتقون حديثه ما كان من رواية ابي جعفر عنه لان فيها اضطراب كثير»
“And people avoid the narration of Abu Ja‘far (al-Razi) from him (Rabi‘ ibn Anas), because there is much confusion in it.” [كتاب الثقات ج 4ص 228]
↰ This is a specific criticism, therefore it takes precedence over the general authentication. That is, the narrations reported by Abu Ja‘far al-Razi from Rabi‘ ibn Anas are weak, while the narrations reported by other trustworthy and reliable narrators are hasan (good) or sahih (authentic).
