ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. al-Mahdī said: I asked Shuʿbah (b. al-Ḥajjāj) to explain allaḏī yutraku hadituhu (ie: who is the person whose narratives should be abandoned)?
قَالَ ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ: سُئِلَ شُعْبَةُ: مَنِ الَّذِي يُتْرَكُ حَدِيثُهُ؟

He replied: “man yuttahamu bi ʿl-kaḏib (ie: a person who is blamed of lying),
قَالَ: مَنْ يُتَّهَمُ بِالْكَذِبِ،

man yukthiru ʿl-ġalat (ie: who makes many mistakes),
وَمَنْ يُكْثِرُ الْغَلَطَ،

who errs in a narrative which is agreed upon by all and still does not blame himself for this error and remains adamant on his mistake,
وَمَنْ يُخْطِئُ فِي حَدِيثٍ يُجْمَعُ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَا يَتَّهِمُ نَفْسَهُ وَيُقِيمُ عَلَى غَلَطِهِ،

And a person who rawá ʿan al-maʿrufīn bimā la yaʿrifuhu ʿl-maʿrufūn (ie: narrates from known people what these known people do not even know).”
وَرَجُلٌ رَوَى عَنِ الْمَعْرُوفِينَ بِمَا لَا يَعْرِفُهُ الْمَعْرُوفُونَ.
