Hadith text

Narrated Humaid bin 'Abdur-Rahman that he heard Mu'awiya talking to a group of people from Quraish at Al-Madina, and on mentioning Ka'b Al-Ashbar, he said, "He was one of the most truthful of those who used to talk about the people of the Scripture, yet we used to detect certain faults in his information

Humaid bin Abdur Rahman bataate hain ke unhone Muawiya ko Quraish qabeele ke ek giroh se Madina mein baat karte suna, aur Ka'b Al-Ashbar ka zikr karte hue, unhone kaha, 'Wo un sabse sachche logon mein se ek the jo Ahl-e-Kitaab ke baare mein baat karte the, phir bhi hum unki maloomaat mein kuch khaamiyaan paate the.'
