95 - Chapter

4093 - Al-Qasim ibn Zakariyya al-Kufi narrated to us, he said: 'Ubaydullah narrated to us, from Isra'il, from 'Abd al-A'la, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Al-'Abbas is from me, and I am from him."(1)

This is a strange hadith; we do not know it except through the narration of Isra'il.

4093m - Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Dawraqi narrated to us, he said: Wahb ibn Jarir narrated to us, he said: My father narrated to us, he said: I heard al-A'mash narrating, from 'Amr ibn Murrah, from Abu al-Bakhtari, from 'Ali, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to 'Umar regarding al-'Abbas: "Indeed, a man's paternal uncle is the equivalent of his father," and 'Umar had spoken to him about his charity(2).

This is a good (hasan) hadith.

--------------------------------------------
(1) Its chain is weak, due to the weakness of 'Abd al-A'la, who is Ibn 'Amir al-Tha'labi. Al-Nasa'i recorded it in 8/33, and in "Al-Kubra" (8173), and it is in "Al-Musnad" (2734). This hadith and the compiler's ruling on it are not found in (A) and (D), and we have confirmed it from (S) and (L). In the Mubarakfuri edition it appears as: "Hasan Sahih," and in "Tuhfat al-Ashraf": "Hasan Gharib."

(2) The marfu' portion of it is authentic due to corroborating evidence, but this chain is weak due to its discontinuity—Abu al-Bakhtari, whose name is Sa'id ibn Fayruz, did not meet 'Ali. It is in "Al-Musnad" (725). And see what follows it.
