3111 - ‘Amr ibn ‘Ali informed us, saying: ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi narrated to us, saying: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih, from Safwan ibn Sulaym, from Khalid ibn al-Lajlaj, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Dust in the path of Allah and the smoke of Hell will never gather together in the face of a man, and stinginess and faith will never gather together in the heart of a servant."

============================================
= Al-Qa‘qa‘ ibn al-Lajlaj, with this chain of transmission.

And Hammad ibn Salamah narrated it from Suhayl, and there is disagreement concerning him [i.e., the name]:
‘Affan ibn Muslim narrated it from Hammad ibn Salamah, from Suhayl and Muhammad ibn ‘Amr, from Safwan ibn Sulaym, from al-Qa‘qa‘ ibn al-Lajlaj, with it. Hammad said: One of them said: al-Qa‘qa‘ ibn al-Lajlaj, and the other said: al-Lajlaj ibn al-Qa‘qa‘.

And ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi narrated it from Hammad, from Suhayl, and he said: from Safwan ibn Sulaym, from Khalid ibn al-Lajlaj, as will come in the hadith after it (3111). Al-Daraqutni said in al-‘Ilal 4/257: The correct [name] is al-Qa‘qa‘ ibn al-Lajlaj.

And the first part of it has preceded from another authentic chain from Abu Hurayrah under numbers (3107) and (3108), and it has supporting witnesses to be found in the commentary on the hadith of al-Musnad (7480).

And the second part of it has also preceded from another chain in the hadith before it, and its chain is fair (hasan).

And the compiler has cited after it its various other chains.

(1) Its first part is authentic (sahih), and the second is fair (hasan). The men of its chain are trustworthy except Khalid ibn al-Lajlaj, for he is unknown (majhul). It is said regarding his name: Husayn, and it is said: al-Qa‘qa‘, and it has preceded with this name in the hadith before it, and that is the correct [form] concerning him. And Safwan ibn Sulaym — who is Safwan ibn Abi Yazid as in the hadith before it and as will come after it — is acceptable (maqbul), and he is not Safwan ibn Sulaym al-Zuhri the trustworthy one from whom the [hadith scholars of the] group narrated. And the hadith is in al-Sunan al-Kubra under number (4304).

And Ahmad (8512) narrated it from ‘Affan ibn Muslim, from Hammad ibn Salamah, with this chain, except that he said: al-Qa‘qa‘ ibn al-Lajlaj, instead of: Khalid ibn al-Lajlaj.

And the mention of the disagreement concerning it on Suhayl ibn Abi Salih has preceded in the commentary on the hadith before it.
