[Machine] "That Ghailan ibn Salamah al-Thaqafi accepted Islam and he had ten wives. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him to keep four of them and divorce the others. And based on my understanding, Mu'ammar ibn Rashid informed me about it through both transmission and connection. The evidence for this is that those who received this information from him in Basrah also transmitted it, and transmission is more reliable than connection. Indeed, an increase in trustworthiness is accepted, and Allah knows best."  

أَنَّ غَيْلَانَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ الثَّقَفِيَّ أَسْلَمَ وَعِنْدَهُ عَشْرُ نِسْوَةٍ «فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُمْسِكَ أَرْبَعًا وَيُفَارِقَ سَائِرَهُنَّ» وَالَّذِي يُؤَدِّي إِلَيْهِ اجْتِهَادِي أَنَّ مَعْمَرَ بْنَ رَاشِدٍ حَدَّثَ بِهِ عَلَى الْوَجْهَيْنِ أَرْسَلَهُ مَرَّةً وَوَصَلَهُ مَرَّةً وَالدَّلِيلُ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ وَصَلُوهُ عَنْهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ فَقَدْ أَرْسَلُوهُ أَيْضًا وَالْوَصْلُ أَوْلَى مِنَ الْإِرْسَالِ فَإِنَّ الزِّيَادَةَ مِنَ الثِّقَةِ مَقْبُولَةٌ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ
