Because the original text of al-Kashi was lost and survives primarily through Shaykh al-Tusi’s selective summary ( Ikhtiyar ), modern researchers analyze whether Report 176 was preserved in its entirety or if crucial contextual qualifiers were omitted during transcription.
A more sophisticated analysis, articulated by figures like Sheikh Abdullah al-Mamaqani in his Tanqih al-Maqal , questioned the textual integrity of the report itself. He argues that the name "Asbagh ibn 'Abd al-Malik" is almost certainly a scribal error ( tahrif ). The original, he asserts, was likely "Usaybi'" or a similar name, and the sentence was meant to compare Abu Hamza to this unnamed third party, not to Asbagh, who may have never existed. This "textual corruption" argument undermines the entire basis of the comparison.
