Abu Huraira reported God's messenger as saying, “A word which contains wisdom is the stray beast* of the wise man, so wherever he finds it he is most entitled to it.” Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying that this is a gharib tradition and that Ibrahim b. al-Fadl the transmitter is declared to be weak in tradition. *i.e. something to be sought.
Hafiz Zubair Ali Zai
Hadith Authentication: The chain of narration for this report is severely weak. Regarding the narrator of this report, Ibrahim ibn al-Fadl al-Makhzumi, Abu Ishaq al-Madani: Imam al-Bukhari said: «منكر الحديث» “He used to narrate munkar (denounced) hadiths.” [كتاب الضعفاء مع تحفة الاقوياء ص1۔ ت6] This criticism, according to Imam al-Bukhari rahimahullah, is a severe criticism. Other hadith scholars have also criticized this narrator in a similar manner and with the same meaning. And Hafiz Ibn Hajar, as a summary, said: «متروك» “He is abandoned (matruk).” [تقريب التهذيب : 228] ◄ According to the majority of hadith scholars, if it is established that a criticized narrator is munkar al-hadith (narrates denounced hadiths) or matruk (abandoned), then he is considered severely weak.
