On the authority of Anas, who said: A man among his companions died, and he said—meaning a man—"Rejoice in Paradise." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Do you not know? Perhaps he spoke about what did not concern him, or was miserly with what would not diminish him." (1)

This is a strange (gharīb) hadith.

2470 - Aḥmad ibn Naṣr al-Naysābūrī and more than one [other] narrated to us, they said: Abū Mus-hir narrated to us, on the authority of Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Samāʿah, on the authority of al-Awzāʿī, on the authority of Qurrah, on the authority of al-Zuhrī, on the authority of Abū Salamah, on the authority of Abū Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Part of the excellence of a person's Islam is his leaving alone what does not concern him." (2)

This is a strange (gharīb) hadith. We do not know it from the hadith of Abū Salamah, on the authority of Abū Hurayrah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, except through this chain.

2471 - Qutaybah narrated to us, Mālik ibn Anas narrated to us, on the authority of al-Zuhrī, on the authority of ʿAlī ibn Ḥusayn, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, part of the excellence of a person's Islam is his leaving alone what does not concern him." (3)

--------------------------------------------
(1) Its chain is weak due to its discontinuity; al-Aʿmash did not hear from Anas.
It was also recorded by Abū Yaʿlā (4017), Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ḥilyah" 5/55–56, and al-Dhahabī in "al-Siyar" 6/240.
(2) Good (ḥasan) due to other supporting narrations. It was recorded by Ibn Mājah (3976). It is in "Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān" (229); see its supporting witnesses therein.
(3) Its narrators are trustworthy, but it is interrupted (mursal). What precedes it strengthens it. It is in "al-Muwaṭṭaʾ" 2/903, "Muṣannaf ʿAbd al-Razzāq" (20617), and "al-Musnad" (1737).
