Ibn Numair says, “He was one of the worst liars. He would say that the crane lays eggs in the sky and her young ones do not fall.”
Ibn Hibban narrated it in Kitab al Du’afa’ with his isnad and commented, “He was a Rafidi who concocted ahadi”
Al Saji says, “He has munkar narrations. There is scepticism about him. He is truthful.”
Al ‘Ijli comments, “A Tabi’i. Reliable.”
Abu al ‘Arab al Saqli states, “Abu al Hassan is not corroborated in this.”[3]
Hafiz’s verdict remains intact, “He was truthful but blundered and had shia ideologies.”[4]
