[Machine] Two men argued in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding a camel. Each of them presented two witnesses. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ judged between them equally. Abu Al-Waleed said, and Ibrahim bin Ali narrated to us, from Yahya bin Yahya, who informed us from Abu Awanah, who mentioned a similar incident. The Sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "This transmission is disconnected and it has already been mentioned by Muhammad bin Jabir, from Simek, that it does not indicate that the camel was in their possession." Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said in his book, "Al-Qadeem", that Tameem is an unknown person, and if no one contradicts him, his narration is not considered proof. Sa'id bin Al-Musayyib narrated from the Prophet ﷺ what we have described, and Sa'id is reliable. We have claimed that between the two narrations, if they differ, the proof is in the most authentic narration. I do not know of any scholar who would object to this, that our narration is more authentic and that Sa'id is one of the most authentic people. He is reliable in the Sunnah, and according to Al-Qurra, he is closer to being authentic. The Sheikh, Tameem bin Tarafa Al-Tai, is a Kufi and he narrates from Adiy bin Hatim and Jabir bin Samurah. He is one of the later followers. When will he reach the level of Sa'id bin Al-Musayyib?  

أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعِيرٍ فَأَقَامَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا شَاهِدَيْنِ فَقَضَى بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَيْنِ قَالَ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ وَحَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أنبأ أَبُو عَوَانَةَ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ سَوَاءً قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ هَذَا مُنْقَطِعٌ وَقَدْ مَضَى فِي رِوَايَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ مَا دَلَّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْبَعِيرَ كَانَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمَا قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فِي كِتَابِ الْقَدِيمِ تَمِيمٌ رَجُلٌ مَجْهُولٌ وَالْمَجْهُولُ لَوْ لَمْ يُعَارِضْهُ أَحَدٌ لَا تَكُونُ رِوَايَتُهُ حُجَّةً وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ يَرْوِي عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَا وَصَفْنَا وَسَعِيدٌ سَعِيدٌ وَقَدْ زَعَمْنَا أَنَّ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ إِذَا اخْتَلَفَا فَالْحُجَّةُ فِي أَصَحِّ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ عَالِمًا يُشْكِلُ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّ حَدِيثَنَا أَصَحُّ وَأَنَّ سَعِيدًا مِنْ أَصَحِّ النَّاسِ مُرْسَلًا وَهُوَ بِالسُّنَنِ فِي الْقُرْعَةِ أَشْبَهُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ تَمِيمُ بْنُ طَرَفَةَ الطَّائِيُّ كُوفِيٌّ يَرْوِي عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ وَجَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ وَهُوَ مِنْ مُتَأَخِّرِي التَّابِعِينَ وَمَتَى يُدْرِكُ دَرَجَةَ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ؟
