أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ السُّكَّرِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ أنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الشَّافِعِيُّ ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَزْهَرِ ثنا الْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ غَسَّانَ الْغَلَّانِيُّ قَالَ كَانَ يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ يُبْطِلُ حَدِيثَ الْخَالُ وَارِثُ مَنْ لَا وَارِثَ لَهُ يَعْنِي حَدِيثَ الْمِقْدَامِ وَقَالَ لَيْسَ فِيهِ حَدِيثٌ قَوِيٌّ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَرُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ أَضْعَفَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ
English Translation
Abu Muhammad Abdullah ibn Yahya ibn Abd al-Jabbar al-Sukkari in Baghdad informed us: Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Abdullah al-Shafi'i narrated to us: Ja'far ibn Muhammad ibn al-Azhar narrated to us: al-Mufaddal ibn Ghassan al-Ghallani said: Yahya ibn Ma'in used to reject the hadith 'the maternal uncle is the heir of whoever has no heir' - meaning the hadith of al-Miqdam - and said: There is no strong hadith in it. The Shaykh said: It was also narrated from another chain weaker than this.
