Imagine having read so many works in your life that you're able to recall passages that seem eerily alike and thus verify instances of unreferenced borrowing by cross-comparing texts.
Really interesting. In English, the first appearance of "plagiary" was in 1601, "plagiarism" in 1621, "plagiarist" in 1674 and "plagiarize" in 1716 (see Polymath by Peter Burke); e.g. largely coincided with the development of intellectual property law, which changed the system of knowledge production in the west. This would put the Islamic tradition 200ish years ahead of at least English. Interesting, thanks for sharing!
Ibn Hajar is also guilty of the same if memory serves me right. He also has an anti-hanafi bias which despite his attempts at hiding comes across quite clearly.
