The question

What is the authenticity, in terms of chain of narration (sanad) and text (matn), of the story of our master Umar and the son of our master Amr ibn al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with them both)? And does its mention in a previous fatwa on your website contradict its historical invalidity?

The answer

The story mentioned was narrated by Ibn Abd al-Hakam in "Futuh Misr wal-Maghrib" with an incomplete chain of transmission (sanad), as he said, "Haddathana (he narrated to us)," and one of its narrators, Abu Abdah — Yusuf ibn Abdah — was deemed weak by some scholars because he narrated objectionable (munkar) hadiths from Thabit and Humayd, and he narrates this story from both of them.
