Are Mus'ar ibn Kaddam's Hadiths from Salamah ibn Kuhayl continuous, especially given that Mus'ar was from his town and era, and yet narrated only a few from him, whereas Shu'bah and Sufyan, who were his peers, narrated extensively from Salamah?
Mis'ar ibn Kidam reported from Salamah ibn Kuhayl. Sheikh Al-Albani graded the hadith "The Imams are from Quraysh" as hasan (good), even though its chain of narration includes Mis'ar from Salamah, and he did not criticize it for a lack of connection. Mis'ar is among the narrators relied upon by Al-Bukhari and was not accused of tadlis (concealment). He was authenticated by prominent imams such as Ahmad, Ibn Ma'in, Abu Hatim, Ibn Sa'd, and Al-Ijli.
