tabarani:17238aAbū al-Zinbāʿ Rawḥ b. al-Faraj > Yaḥyá b. Bukayr > Mālik b. Anas > Māt Muʿādh b. Jabal / Ibn Thamān Waʿishrīn Sanah Waqāʾil

[Machine] I heard Malik ibn Anas saying Muadh ibn Jabal died at the age of twenty-eight, and a narrator says thirty-two.  

الطبراني:١٧٢٣٨aحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنْبَاعِ رَوْحُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ مَالِكَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ يَقُولُ مَاتَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَمَانٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً وَقَائِلٌ يَقُولُ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ

hakim:5170ʿAbdullāh b. Yaʿqūb al-Fārisī > Yaʿqūb b. Sufyān > Ibn Bukayr > Mālik b. Anas

[Machine] I heard Malik ibn Anas say, "Indeed Mu'adh ibn Jabal died while he was twenty-eight years old, and he was the leader of the scholars in Riwah." This is incorrect.  

الحاكم:٥١٧٠أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْفَارِسِيُّ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ

سَمِعْتُ مَالِكَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ هَلَكَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَمَانٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً وَهُوَ إِمَامُ الْعُلَمَاءِ بِرَتْوَةٍ» هذا غلط

[Machine] I heard Malik ibn Anas saying, "Indeed, Muadh ibn Jabal has passed away while he was twenty-eight years old, and he was the Imam of the scholars of Basra."  

الحاكم:٥١٧٥أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْحَافِظُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ

سَمِعْتُ مَالِكَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ هَلَكَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَمَانٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَهُوَ إِمَامُ الْعُلَمَاءِ بِرَتْوَةٍ»
