اُردوEn
أخبرنا أبو بكر محمد بن أحمد بن بالَوَيهِ، حَدَّثَنَا محمد بن يونس، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْح بن عُبادةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حسين المعلِّم، عن عبد الله بن بُريدة، أنه وصف الأشعريَّ أبا موسى، فقال: رجلٌ خفيفُ الجسم، قصيرٌ أَثَطُّ (2) (3).
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Buraydah that, describing the appearance of Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: He was light of body, short of stature, and had a thin beard.

(2) تحرَّف في النسخ الخطية إلى: أقط. والأثطّ: خفيف اللحية، وقال ابن دريد كما في "لسان العرب": لا يقال في الخفيف شعر اللحية: أثطّ، وإن كانت العامة قد أُولعت به، إنما يقال: ثَطٌّ.
Important point: In the manuscripts the word here has been distorted into "aqit" (with alif and qaf), whereas the correct word is "al-athatt" (with alif and tha').
Note / Clarification: "Athatt" refers to a person whose beard is sparse. Ibn Durayd said, as quoted in "Lisan al-'Arab", that although common people use the word "athatt", in eloquent Arabic it is only called "thatt".
(3) محمد بن يونس - وهو الكديمي القرشي - متروك، لكن رواه غير واحد من كبار الثقات عن روح بن عبادة، فصحَّ الإسناد من غير طريقه.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Muhammad bin Yunus (al-Kudaymi al-Qurashi) is a "matruk" (abandoned) narrator, but several other senior thiqah narrators have also narrated it from Rawh bin 'Ubadah; therefore through routes other than al-Kudaymi's this chain is "sahih".
وأخرجه ابن سعد في "الطبقات" 4/ 108 - ومن طريقه ابن عساكر 32/ 25 - وإسحاق بن راهويه كما في "المطالب العالية" (2985)، والحارث بن أبي أسامة كما في "بغية الباحث" (466) عن روح بن عبادة، بهذا الإسناد. روايتا إسحاق والحارث مطولتان، ضمن قصة. وأخرجه ابن عساكر 32/ 25 من طريق عبد الوارث بن سعيد، عن حسين المعلم به.
Reference / Source: It was narrated by Ibn Sa'd in "al-Tabaqat" (4/ 108), Ibn 'Asakir at (32/ 25), Ishaq bin Rahawayh as in "al-Matalib al-'Aliyah" (2985) and al-Harith bin Abi Usamah as in "Bughyat al-Bahith" (466), via Rawh bin 'Ubadah with this same chain. The narrations of Ishaq and al-Harith are lengthy and contain the whole story. Ibn 'Asakir also reported it through the route of Abd al-Warith bin Sa'id from Husayn al-Mu'allim.
