15. Distortion of the narration in which Mugheera Ibn Sho’uba abused Ali on pulpit !

Ahmad bin Hanbal (Died 241 AH) narrated :

حدثنا وكيع، حدثنا شعبة، عن الحر بن الصياح، عن عبد الرحمن بن الأخنس، قال: خطبنا المغيرة بن شعبة فنال من علي رضي اللهُ عنه….

Abdur Rahman bin Al-Akhnas said :

Mugheera bin Sho’uba gave us sermon and he abused Ali Ibn Abi Talib…..

Musnad – Ahmad bin Hanbal // Volume 3 // Page 177 // Number 1631 // Edn. Risalah Al-Alamiyyah Beriut Lebanon.

Abu Ya’la Mosuli (Died 307 AH) also narrated same narration with same wording.

Musnad – Abu Ya’la // Volume 2 // Page 259 – 260 // Number 971 // Edn. Maktaba Rusd Riyadh Saudi Arabia.

Ibn Hibban (Died 739 AH) narrated same narratiom with same wording.

Al-Ahsab fir Tarteeb Sahih Ibn Hibban  // Volume 15 // Page 454 // Number 6993 // Edn. Mo’ssah Al-Risalah Beriut Lebanon.

Now the same narration is mentioned by Al-Bazzar (Died 292 AH) and he erase out whole first part in which Al-Mugheera was abusing Ali.

Musnad – Al-Bazzar // Volume 4 // Page 95 // Number 1269 // Edn. Maktaba Al-Uloom wa Al-Hikam Riyadh Saudi Arabia.
