Abu Ahmad al-'Askari: Weak, he was a beggar who would go around in the marketplaces

Abu Ahmad ibn 'Adi al-Jurjani: He narrates many fabricated hadiths from his paternal uncle 'Abdullah ibn Jurad from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He and his uncle are not known, and these hadiths are generally fabricated and not preserved. I do not think his uncle had companionship [of the Prophet]

Abu Hatim al-Razi: He is nothing, a weak narrator

Abu Hatim ibn Hibban al-Busti: It is not permissible to narrate from him under any circumstance, nor to use him as an argument by any means, nor to write his hadiths except for specific purposes for consideration. Once, they fabricated hadiths for him, and he narrated them without realizing
