They said: “O Messenger of Allah, and what is his reward?” He said: “When a man’s house is entered, his food is eaten, and his drink is drunk, and they supplicate for him, that is his reward.”(1)

3854 – Makhled ibn Khalid narrated to us, ‘Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ma‘mar informed us, on the authority of Thabit, on the authority of Anas: that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came to Sa‘d ibn ‘Ubadah, and he brought bread and oil, and he ate. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The fasting have broken their fast with you, the righteous have eaten your food, and the angels have prayed for blessings upon you.”(2)

(1) Its chain of transmission is weak due to the anonymity of the man who narrated from Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah, as al-Hafiz stated in “Takhrij Ahadith al-Adhkar,” as quoted from him by Ibn ‘Allan in “al-Futuhat al-Rabbaniyyah” 5/248. This hadith has also been narrated through another path from Yazid Abu Khalid al-Dalani, from Zayd al-Jazari – who is Ibn Abi Unaysah – from Shurahbil al-Madani – who is Ibn Sa‘d – from Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah. This Shurahbil is weak, and the chain to him is weak. Others besides Yazid al-Dalani also narrated it, and they differed with him in its text.
Al-Bayhaqi also narrated it in “Shu‘ab al-Iman” (4605) via the path of Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Zubayr al-Asadi, and Abu Musa in “Dhayl Ma‘rifat al-Sahabah” as found in “al-Isabah” of al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar 5/666 via the path of ‘Isa ibn Musa Ghunjar, both from Abu Hamzah al-Sukkari, from Yazid Abu Khalid al-Dalani, from Zayd al-Jazari – who is Ibn Abi Unaysah – from Shurahbil al-Madani – who is Ibn Sa‘d – from Jabir. Muhammad ibn al-Hasan is weak, and ‘Isa ibn Musa Ghunjar practices tadlis and narrates from abandoned narrators, and Shurahbil is weak.
It will come later with the author under number (4813) with the wording: “Whoever is given a gift and finds [something to give in return], let him reciprocate; and if he does not find [anything], let him praise [the giver]. Whoever praises him has thanked him, and whoever conceals it has disbelieved [in the blessing],” via the path of ‘Umarah ibn Ghaziyyah, from a man – who is Shurahbil ibn Sa‘d himself – from Jabir.
Likewise, Abu ‘Abd al-Rahim Khalid ibn Abi Yazid al-Harrani narrated it with this wording, from Zayd ibn Abi Unaysah, from Shurahbil ibn Sa‘d, from Jabir, as found with Ibn Hibban (3415) and al-Quda‘i (485).
