[1] the words of Abu Hatim:

قال سألت أبى عن مؤمل بن إسماعيل فقال صدوق شديد في السنة كثير الخطأ يكتب حديثه
"he (Ibn Abi Hatim) said i asked my father (Abu Hatim) regarding Mu'ammal Ibn Isma'eel and he said Honest, Firm in Sunnah makes abundant mistakes, write his narrations"
And the second Jarh.

وسئل عن مؤمل بن إسماعيل وأبى حذيفة فقال في كتبهما خطأ كثير وأبو حذيفة اقلهما خطأ
"he (Abu Hatim) was asked regarding Mu'ammal Ibn Isma'eel and Abi Huzayfah and he said in their books are many errors while Abu Huzayfah made fewer mistakes of the two."
This is probably where the likes of al-Dhahabi and Ibn Hajr got their statement from when they said:
وقال غيره دفن كتبه فكان يحدث من حفظه فكثر خطأه
"It was also said that he buried his books and narrated by heart and thus erred alot"

3525 حدثنا محمود بن غيلان حدثنا مؤمل عن حماد بن سلمة عن حميد عن أنس أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ألظوا بيا ذا الجلال والإكرام قال أبو عيسى هذا حديث غريب وليس بمحفوظ وإنما يروى هذا عن حماد بن سلمة عن حميد عن الحسن البصري عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهذا أصح ومؤمل غلط فيه فقال عن حميد عن أنس ولا يتابع فيه
Imam Tirmidhi related a hadith where Mu'ammal is in the chain and says: "This is a Ghareeb (strange) hadith and it is not preserved, this narration should be narrated as this; From Hammad Bin Salamah, from al-Hasan al-Basri from Nabi

and this is (the) correct (chain), while Mu'ammal made an error in his (sanad) and said; from Humayd from From Anas, he has no Mutab'iah (or anyone following / supporting him up) in this."
Three things to note from Imam al-Tirmidhi:
[1] The narrations which were authenticated by al-Tirmidhi (Tahseen and Tas-heeh) only was so because Mu'ammal had authentic Shawahid and Mutabi'ah.
[2] In cases where there is an addition to the isnad and matn from Mu'ammal then it is rejected by al-Tirmidhi and not preserved.
[3] Mu'ammal made errors.
Wallahu A'lam
