Clarification That The Chain Of Narration Is Part Of The Religion, And Reports Should Only Be Narrated From Those Who Are Trustworthy, And That Critical Assessment And Evaluation of Narrators For Things That Are True Is Permissible And Is In Fact Obligatory; And That Doing So Is Not Backbiting That Is Forbidden, Rather It Is Defending The Honorable Shari'ah

58 Sufyān said: “I heard a man asking Jābir about the Verse of the Holy Qur’ān: “...Therefore I will not leave this land until my father permits me, or Allāh decides my case and He is the Best of the judges.”[1] Jābir said: ‘This has not been fulfilled yet.’ Sufyān said: ‘He is lying.’” We said [to Sufyân]: "What did he mean by that?" He said: "The Râfidah say that 'Alî is in the clouds, and we will not join any of his sons who rebel against the state, until a voice calls out to us from heaven" - meaning 'Alî - "who will tell us to go out and support so-and-so. Jâbir said: 'This is the interpretation of this Verse.' But he was lying; it was about the brothers of Yûsuf [ﷺ]."

Arabic text

وحَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ جَابِرًا عَنْ قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : {فَلَنْ أَبْرَحَ الْأَرْضَ حَتَّى يَأْذَنَ لِي أَبِي أَوْ يَحْكُمَ اللهُ لِي وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْحَاكِمِينَ} [يوسف: 80]، فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ: «لَمْ يَجِئْ تَأْوِيلُ هَذِهِ»، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: وَكَذَبَ، فَقُلْنَا لِسُفْيَانَ: وَمَا أَرَادَ بِهَذَا؟ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الرَّافِضَةَ تَقُولُ: إِنَّ عَلِيًّا فِي السَّحَابِ، فَلَا نَخْرُجُ مَعَ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ حَتَّى يُنَادِيَ مُنَادٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ يُرِيدُ عَلِيًّا أَنَّهُ يُنَادِي اخْرُجُوا مَعَ فُلَانٍ، يَقُولُ جَابِرٌ: «فَذَا تَأْوِيلُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ، وَكَذَبَ، كَانَتْ فِي إِخْوَةِ يُوسُفَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»
