Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: I said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): "Al-Mukhtar claims that revelation comes to him." He said: "He has spoken the truth; (Allah Almighty says:) 'And indeed the devils inspire their allies' (and the devils certainly put suggestions into the hearts of their companions)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) except Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him)."
