10 - Chapter: What has been reported that faith is in the divine decree, its good and its evil

2282 - Abu al-Khattab Ziyad ibn Yahya al-Basri narrated to us, 'Abdullah ibn Maymun narrated to us, from Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Jabir ibn 'Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A servant does not truly believe until he believes in the divine decree, its good and its evil, until he knows that what has befallen him was not meant to miss him, and that what missed him was not meant to befall him."(1)

In this chapter, there is also a narration from 'Ubadah, Jabir, and 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr.

This hadith is gharib (unfamiliar); we do not know it except from the narration of 'Abdullah ibn Maymun, and 'Abdullah ibn Maymun is denounced in hadith.--------------------------------------------
(1) Its chain of transmission is very weak; its defect is 'Abdullah ibn Maymun, who is al-Qaddah, whose hadith is discarded, as al-Bukhari said.
It was also recorded by Ibn 'Adi in "al-Kamil" 4/1504, and al-Mizzi in "Tahdhib al-Kamal" 16/201.
In this chapter, there is also a narration from Ibn 'Abbas recorded by 'Abd ibn Humayd (636), al-Hakim 3/542, al-Quda'i in "Musnad al-Shihab" (745), and al-Tabarani in "al-Kabir" (11243); see also "al-Musnad" (2669).
And from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr in al-Tabarani's "al-Awsat" (1976).
And from Khabbab ibn al-Aratt in al-Tabarani's "al-Kabir" (3708).
And from Ubayy ibn Ka'b and Zayd ibn Thabit in Ahmad's "al-Musnad" (21589) and (21611), and both of their chains are strong.
And from Abu al-Darda' in "al-Musnad" (27490), and its chain is weak.
And from 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit as a mawquf (stopped) narration in Ahmad (22705).
