Abu Abdullah al-Jadali: And Ibn Qutaybah mentioned him among the extremists of the Rafidites, etc.

And these are a drop in the ocean of those who used to exaggerate, and the people of the Shiites consider them references for them, and the people of the Sunnah are among those trusted in the transmission of Hadith, and among them were those who were brought forward and respected with our immaculate, pure Imams, such as Jabir bin Yazid al-Ju'fi and Sulayman bin Surad al-Khuza'i, Al-Harith bin Abdullah al-Hamdani, and Amir bin Wathilah, and he is Abu al-Tufayl, and Al-Sayyid Abdul Husayn Sharaf al-Din al-Musawi mentioned them in his mentioned consultations during his discussion with the Sheikh of Al-Azhar Mosque, Sheikh Salim al-Bishri, arguing against him that the authors of the Six Sahihs used to declare these trustworthy in the transmission of Hadith despite their popularization with extremism, and the author of Al-Muraja'at magnifies their status.
