In Siyar A'lam al-Nubala, Vol. 16, Pages 351-352, adh-Dhahabi tells an incident that happend with the Sunni scholar Ibn al-Saqqa:
قال السلفي (1): سألت خميسا الحوزي عن ابن السقاء، فقال: هو من مزينة مضر، ولم يكن سقاء، بل هو لقب له (2)، كان من وجوه الواسطيين وذوي الثروة والحفظ، رحل به أبوه، وأسمعه من أبي خليفة، وأبي يعلى، وابن زيدان البجلي، والمفضل الجندي وجماعة، وبارك الله في سنه وعلمه، واتفق أنه أملى حديث الطائر (3)، فلم تحتمله أنفسهم فوثبوا به، وأقاموه، وغسلوا موضعه، فمضى ولزم بيته لا يحدث أحدا من الواسطيين، ولهذا قل حديثه عندهم.
I asked Khamees al-Jawzi about Ibn al-Saqqa. He said: He is from the Muzayna tribe of Mudar and was not actually a water carrier, but this was a title given to him. He was one of the prominent people of Wasit, wealthy and knowledgeable. His father took him on journeys where he heard from Abu Khalifa, Abu Ya'la, and others. He was blessed with a long life and knowledge. It happened that he narrated Hadith al-Tayr, which was not well received, so they attacked him, removed him from his place, and cleaned the area where he had been sitting. He then withdrew and stayed at home, not narrating to anyone from Wasit. This is why his hadiths are few among them.
