Bayhaqi 15181 — Reports on the number of divorces for a slave, one

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْبَرَاءُ قَالَ: قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ وَسُئِلَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُعَتِّبٍ الَّذِي رَوَى عَنْهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ، حَدِيثَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَمْلُوكٍ كَانَتْ تَحْتَهُ أَمَةٌ فَقَالَ مَجْهُولٌ لَمْ يَرْوِ عَنْهُ غَيْرُ يَحْيَى، ⦗٦٠٩⦘ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: وَعَامَّةُ الْفُقَهَاءِ عَلَى خِلَافِ مَا رَوَاهُ وَلَوْ كَانَ ثَابِتًا قُلْنَا بِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّا لَا نُثْبِتُ حَدِيثًا يَرْوِيهِ مَنْ تُجْهَلُ عَدَالَتُهُ، وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ وَرُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَجَابِرٍ مِنْ قَوْلِهِمَا بِخِلَافِ ذَلِكَ.
Ali bin al-Madini was asked about Amr bin Mu'attib, from whom Yahya bin Abi Kathir narrated, from Abu al-Hasan, the hadith of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) "gave a ruling concerning a slave who had a slave woman as his wife." He said: He is majhul (unknown); no one other than Yahya narrated from him.
The Shaykh (al-Bayhaqi) said: The generality of the jurists hold the opposite of what he narrated. Had it been established, we would have held it, but we do not accept as established a hadith narrated by someone whose integrity is unknown, and success is from Allah. The opposite of this has been narrated from Ibn Mas'ud and Jabir as their own statements.
