Why is the attribution about Ibn Masʿūd at Ṣiffīn rejected?
Narrator Criticism: Corruption, Concealed Sources and Chronological Testing
- Because the term Ṣiffīn was unknown in Arabic
- Abū Wāʾil transmitted no other hadith
- The wording occurred only in long chains
- Ṣiffīn occurred after Ibn Masʿūd had died
