    For some to call it weak because of the 'an'anah of Sufyan ath-Thawri is wrong, because the hadith scholars agree that the 'an'anah of Sufyan ath-Thawri is accepted; see: [Anwar al-Badr (page 315 to 373)]. Moreover, many narrators also support Sufyan; for details see: Anwar an-Nasihah (d/1176).
