Ḥassān and al-Rāʻi, then al-Mufaḍḍal al-Ḍabi owner of the book: (al-Mufaḍḍaliyat), but all the credit for the narration and collection of Arabic poetry is due to two venerable scholars: Al-ʾAṣmaʻi and ʾAbu ʻAmr al-Shaibānī. Al-ʾAṣmaʻī collected the poems of more than twenty famous poets from the pre-Islamic era and Islam. ʾAbu ʻAmr al-Shaibānī collected the poems from more than eighty tribes, and most of them were trustworthy and honest: al-Mufaḍḍal al-Ḍabī was trustworthy, and al-ʾAṣmaʻi was truthful in Ḥadīth. He did not narrate anything from the Arabs except the correct thing. ʾAbu ʻUbaidah, ʾAbu Zaid al-Anṣārī, and Ibn al-ʾAʿrābī were among the trustworthy scholars.
