Scholars of Ahlul Hadith: Respectful disagreement

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

 وطلب من شعبة أن يكف عن أبان بن أبي عياش ، وأبان بن أبي عياش رجل زاهد عابد فاضل لكنه يخلط في الحديث ، فقال : سأنظر ، ثم يلقى من نصحه فيقول له : إنه

الدين لا يسعني إلا أن أتكلم في أبان بن أبي عياش

It was requested from Shubah, may Allah have mercy upon him, to refrain from (speaking) about Abān ibn Abee Ayyash, may Allah have mercy upon him. And  Aban ibn Abee Ayyāsh was a man of Zuhd, a devout worshipper, and a virtuous man, but he would mix things up in hadith transmission. So, Shubah said, “I will wait”. Then he met the person who had advised him, saying to him: “Indeed, it is a matter of religion. I cannot, but speak about Aban Ibn Abee Ayyash”.
