[Machine] I heard Al-Sha'bi saying, "The judges among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were six individuals; three in Al-Madinah and three in Al-Kufa. In Al-Madinah, they were Umar, Ubay ibn Ka'b, and Zaid ibn Thabit. In Al-Kufa, they were Ali, Abdullah, and Abu Musa." Al-Shaybani said, "So I asked Al-Sha'bi, 'Is Abu Musa included with them?' He said, 'He was one of the scholars.' Then Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Abbas ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Asim al-Shahidi narrated it to me."
