Sahih Muslim 191

صحيح مسلم#191Sahih

وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ ‏ "‏ رَأْسُ الْكُفْرِ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Qutaiba b. Sa'id and Zubair b. Harb say:Jarir narrated this on the authority of A'mash with the same chain of narrators (as mentioned above)

Scholarly Authentication

The label above is the grade most of these scholars gave — one dissenting opinion no longer speaks for all of them. If any scholar calls a narration fabricated, that verdict is shown instead, whatever the others say. Each scholar's own wording:

Every narration in Sahih Muslim is accepted as Sahih (authentic) by the established status of the book.
