104 - Chapter on Sleeping in a State of Purity

5042 - Mūsā ibn Ismāʿīl narrated to us, Ḥammād narrated to us, ʿĀṣim ibn Bahdalah informed us, from Shahr ibn Ḥawshab, from Abū Ẓabyah, from Muʿādh ibn Jabal, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "There is no Muslim who spends the night remembering Allah, in a state of purity, then wakes during the night and asks Allah for good of this world and the Hereafter, except that He grants it to him."

Thābit al-Bunānī said: Abū Ẓabyah came to us and narrated this ḥadīth to us, from Muʿādh ibn Jabal, from the Prophet ﷺ.

--------------------------------------------
(1) Its chain of transmission is authentic from the route of Thābit al-Bunānī, and the narrator from him here is Ḥammād — namely Ibn Salamah — but it is weak from the route of ʿĀṣim ibn Bahdalah due to the weakness of Shahr ibn Ḥawshab.

Ibn Mājah also recorded it (3881) via the route of Abū al-Ḥusayn Zayd ibn al-Ḥabbāb, and al-Nasāʾī in al-Kubrā (10573) via the route of Abū Dāwūd al-Ṭayālisī, and (10574) via the route of ʿAffān — all three of them from Ḥammād ibn Salamah, with this chain.

Al-Nasāʾī also recorded it in al-Kubrā (10573) via the route of Thābit ibn Aslam al-Bunānī, from Shahr ibn Ḥawshab, with it.

Al-Nasāʾī also recorded it (10573) and (10574) via the route of Thābit, from Abū Ẓabyah, with it.

It is also in Musnad Aḥmad (22048) and (22092).

Shamir ibn ʿAṭiyyah also narrated it, from Shahr ibn Ḥawshab, from Abū Ẓabyah, from ʿAmr ibn ʿAbasah, mentioning a different Companion. Al-Nasāʾī recorded it in al-Kubrā (10575), (10576), and (10577).

It is also in Musnad Aḥmad (17021).

See also the ḥadīth of ʿUbādah ibn al-Ṣāmit coming later under number (5060).

Al-Khaṭṭābī said in Maʿālim al-Sunan: His saying "yataʿārru" means: he wakes up from sleep. The origin of taʿārur is sleeplessness and tossing and turning on the bed. It is said that taʿārur only occurs with speech and sound, and it is derived from ʿirār of the ẓalīm. Al-ʿirār — with kasrah on the ʿayn — is its sound. And al-ẓalīm — with fatḥah on the ẓāʾ and kasrah on the lām — is the male ostrich.
