أبي نصير

Shādhī ibn ʿAlī al-Sarakhsī related to us. He said: I heard Wahb ibn Zamʿa say: I heard Faḍāla al-Nasāʾī say: I said to Abū Nuṣayr: “We do not find transmission from Muqātil ibn Sulaymān.” He said to me: “Then what do you think of ʿAbd Allāh transmitting from Abū Ḥanīfa?” I mentioned that to ʿAbd Allāh, who said: “Muqātil is like Abū Ḥanīfa. Were it not for Abū Ḥanīfa, I would not have understood this report.” He mentioned a report that I do not remember.
