وَحَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ وَأَخُوهُ، أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا الْجَرَّاحَ بْنَ مَلِيحٍ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ: عِنْدِي سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ حَدِيثٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُلُّهَا.
Translation: Through al-Ḥasan al-Ḥulwānī, Abū Yaḥyā al-Ḥimmānī, Qabīṣah and his brother, al-Jarrāḥ b. Malīḥ reported hearing Jābir claim that he possessed seventy thousand reports, all attributed through Abū Jaʿfar to the Prophet ﷺ.
«عِنْدِي» is Jābir’s own assertion, not authentication of the number or of the alleged chains. Here Abū Jaʿfar is Muḥammad b. ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn b. ʿAlī, known as Abū Jaʿfar al-Bāqir. Identifying the person named does not establish the authenticity of any alleged report through him.
Al-Nawawī expressly describes al-Jarrāḥ b. Malīḥ as weak according to hadith critics, yet notes that he is cited here among the mutābaʿāt (supporting or comparative transmission routes). Such a route may serve to compare how material is transmitted; its inclusion is not independent authentication of Jābir’s alleged seventy thousand Prophetic reports or of each purported chain.
