1019. Ibn 'Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Mention good things about your dead, and refrain from (mentioning) their evil." (Ḍa'if) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Gharīb. I heard Muḥammad saying: "Imrān bin Anas Al-Makkī is Munkar in Hadīth."[1] Some of them reported it from 'Aṭā', from 'Aishah. (He said:) 'Imrān bin Abī Anas the Egyptian is more reliable and earlier than 'Imrān bin Anas Al-Makkī.

Arabic text

١٠١٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ ‌عِمْرَانَ بْنِ أَنَسٍ الْمَكِّيِّ ، عَنْ ‌عَطَاءٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «اذْكُرُوا مَحَاسِنَ مَوْتَاكُمْ»، وَكُفُّوا عَنْ مَسَاوِئِهِمْ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ. سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدًا يَقُولُ: عِمْرَانُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ الْمَكِّيُّ مُنْكَرُ الْحَدِيثِ. وَرَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ. وَعِمْرَانُ بْنُ أَبِي أَنَسٍ مِصْرِيٌّ، أَقْدَمُ وَأَثْبَتُ مِنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ أَنَسٍ الْمَكِّيِّ.

Commentary

Good and noble characteristics of the pious and righteous should be publicized so the masses could follow them and if by chance there is a shortcoming in their character it should be concealed. It is not proper to make it public.
