Hadith 23

(The book) ‘Ikmal Al Deen’ – Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Hatim, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Ja’far, from Muhammad Bin Ja’far Al Farsy, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bilal, from Al Azhary Masrour Bin Al Aas, from Muslim Bin Al Fazl who said, ‘I came to Abu Saeed Ghanim Bin Saeed Al-Hindy at Al-Kufa.
