(al-Ḥāfidh) al-ʿIrāqī said in Sharḥ Muqadimmah Ibn Ṣalāh: it was narrated to us on the authority of Muʿwamal that he said: “A Shaykh narrated a ḥadīth to me on the virtues of the Qurʾān, chapter by chapter.”
قال العراقي في "شرح مقدمة ابن الصلاح": "رُوّينا عن مؤمّل أنّه قال: حدّثني شيخ بهذا الحديث - يعني حديث فضائل القرآن سورة سورة -
So I asked him: “Who narrated this ḥadīth to you?”
فقلت للشيخ: من حدّثك؟
He said: “A man in Madāʿin narrated it to me, he is alive.”
فقال: حدّثني رجلٌ بالمدائن، وهو حيٌّ،
I traveled to him and asked him: “Who narrated this ḥadīth to you?”
فصرت إليه، فقلت: من حدّثك؟
He said: “A Shaykh in Wāsiṭ narrated it to me, he is alive.”
قال: حدثني شيخٌ بواسط، وهو حيٌّ،
So I travelled to him, he said: “A Shaykh in Baṣrah narrated it to me.”
فصرت إليه، فقال: حدّثني شيخٌ بالبصرة،
So I travelled to him, he said: “A Shaykh in Baʿbādān narrated it to me.”
فصرت إليه، فقال: حدّثني شيخٌ بعبّادان،
So I travelled to him, he took me by the hand into a house, a group of Ṣūfīs were in it, with them was a Shaykh, he (ie: the person who took my hand) said: “It is this Shaykh that narrated it to me.”
فصرت إليه، فأخذ بيدي، فأدخلني بيتًا، فإذا فيه قوم من المتصوفة ومعهم شيخٌ، فقال: هذا الشيخ حدّثني،
I said: “O Shaykh, who narrated this ḥadīth to you?”
فقلت: يا شيخ من حدّثك؟
He responded: “Nobody narrated it to me, but I saw that the people were not interested in the Qurʾān, so I fabricated these aḥadīth for them so that it may turn their hearts to the Qurʾān!”
فقال: لم يحدّثني أحد، ولكننا رأينا النّاس قد رغبوا عن القرآن، فوضعنا لهم هذا الحديث ليصرفوا قلوبهم إلى القرآن!! ".
This man (ie: the traveler) must have travelled for about three months in order to verify this one ḥadīth.
لعلّ هذا الرجل قطع نحو ثلاثة أشهر مسافرًا لتحقيق رواية هذا الحديث الواحد.
