Abu Ahmad ibn Adi al-Jurjani: He used to narrate hadiths from people based on his own assumptions, things they did not have in their possession. This was proven against him, but he did not retract. And once: He has other rejected hadiths that I have not written down except from him, and we used to accuse him of fabricating them.

Abu Sa'id ibn Yunus al-Masri: He memorized and understood, but narrated Munkar (rejected) hadiths. I think he might have become confused. It is not permissible to narrate from him.
