Sahih Muslim Introduction 25
Alī bin Khashram narrated to us, Abū Bakr, meaning Ibn Ayyāsh, informed us, he said ‘I heard al-Mughīrah saying:
‘There are no Ḥadīth on authority of Alī, may Allah be pleased with him, that are confirmed except from the companions of Abd Allah bin Mas’ūd.’
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَيَّاشٍ - قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْمُغِيرَةَ، يَقُولُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَصْدُقُ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ - رضى الله عنه - فِي الْحَدِيثِ عَنْهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ‏.‏
