📘 সুনানুত তিরমিযী - ত আর-রিসালাহ (আত-তিরমিযী - মৃত্যু 279 হিজরী)

This is a strange hadith.

4106 - Abu Sa'id al-Ashajj narrated to us, saying: 'Uqbah ibn Khalid narrated to us, saying: Yusuf ibn Ibrahim narrated to me that he heard Anas ibn Malik saying: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked: "Which of the people of your household is most beloved to you?" He said: "Al-Hasan and al-Husayn." And he used to say to Fatimah: "Call my two sons to me," and he would smell them and embrace them.(1)

This is a strange hadith from the hadiths of Anas.

100 - Chapter

4107 - Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn 'Abdullah al-Ansari narrated to us, saying: al-Ash'ath — he is Ibn 'Abd al-Malik — narrated to us, from al-Hasan, from Abu Bakrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ascended the minbar and said: "Indeed,"
============================================
= And it was also narrated by al-Bukhari in his "al-Tarikh al-Kabir" 3/81, al-Tabarani in "al-Kabir" 23/ (882), Ibn al-Athir in "Usd al-Ghabah" 2/23, and al-Mizzi in "Tahdhib al-Kamal" 9/187.
(1) Its chain is weak due to the weakness of Yusuf ibn Ibrahim, who is al-Tamimi.
And it was also narrated by al-Bukhari in "al-Tarikh al-Kabir" 8/377, Abu Ya'la (4294), and Ibn 'Adi in "al-Kamil" 7/2623.
(2) In (A), (D), (L), and "Tuhfat al-Ashraf": "Hasan gharib" (good and strange), and what is confirmed is from (S) and the copy of al-Mubarakfuri.

"This son of mine is a master; Allah will bring about reconciliation through him between two great groups of Muslims." (1)

This is a good and authentic hadith.

He said: meaning, Al-Hasan ibn 'Ali.

101 - Chapter

4108 - Al-Husayn ibn Hurayth narrated to us, he said: 'Ali ibn Husayn ibn Waqid narrated to us, he said: my father narrated to me, he said: 'Abdullah ibn Buraydah narrated to me, he said:

I heard my father Buraydah say: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was delivering a sermon to us when Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn came, wearing two red shirts, walking and stumbling. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came down from the pulpit, picked them up, and placed them before him. Then he said: "Allah has spoken the truth: {Your wealth and your children are only a trial} [Al-Taghabun: 15]. I looked at these two boys walking and stumbling, and I could not be patient until I cut short my speech and picked them up." (2)

--------------------------------------------
(1) A authentic hadith, also recorded by Al-Bukhari (2704) and (3629), Abu Dawud (4662), Al-Nasa'i 3/107, and in "Al-Kubra" (1718) and (8166), and it is in "Al-Musnad" (20392), and "Sahih Ibn Hibban" (6964). Their wording is: "Indeed, this son of mine is a master, and perhaps Allah will bring about reconciliation through him between two great groups of Muslims."

Al-Khattabi said in "Ma'alim al-Sunan" 4/311: The fulfillment of this statement was manifested in his reconciliation between the people of Syria and the people of Iraq, and his relinquishing of authority out of fear of discord and aversion to bloodshed. That year was called the Year of the Community.

(2) Its chain is strong, and it was recorded by Abu Dawud (1109), Ibn Majah (3600), Al-Nasa'i 3/108 and 192, and it is in "Al-Musnad" (22995), and "Sahih Ibn Hibban" (6038).

This is a good and ghareeb hadith. We only know it from the narration of Al-Husayn ibn Waqid.

Allah loves whoever loves Al-Husayn. Al-Husayn is a grandchild among the grandchildren (of the Prophets)."

This is a hasan hadith. We only know it from the narration of 'Abdullah ibn 'Uthman ibn Khuthaym, and more than one narrator has narrated it from 'Abdullah ibn 'Uthman ibn Khuthaym.

4110 - Muhammad ibn Yahya narrated to us, saying: 'Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, from Ma'mar, from Al-Zuhri, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: None of them was more similar to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, than Al-Hasan ibn 'Ali.

This is a hasan sahih hadith.

4111 - Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us, saying: Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, saying: Isma'il ibn Abi Khalid narrated to us, from Abu Juhaifah, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and al-Hasan ibn 'Ali resembled him.

This hadith is hasan sahih.

On this topic, there is also a narration from Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, Ibn 'Abbas, and Ibn al-Zubayr.

4112 - Khallad ibn Aslam al-Baghdadi narrated to us, saying: al-Nadr ibn Shumail narrated to us, saying: Hisham ibn Hassan informed us, from Hafsah bint Sirin, who said: Anas ibn Malik narrated to me, saying: I was with Ibn Ziyad when the head of al-Husayn was brought. He began poking it with a staff in its nose and saying: "I have never seen anything like this in beauty! Why is he mentioned?" I said: "Indeed, he was the most resembling of them to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him."

4113 — ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrated to us, saying: ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Mūsā informed us, from Isrāʾīl, from Abū Isḥāq, from Hāniʾ ibn Hāniʾ, from ʿAlī, who said: "Al-Ḥasan most resembled the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, from the chest to the head, and al-Ḥusayn most resembled the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in what was below that."

This is a ḥasan gharīb ḥadīth.

4114 — Wāṣil ibn ʿAbd al-Aʿlā narrated to us, saying: Abū Muʿāwiya narrated to us, from al-Aʿmash, from ʿUmāra ibn ʿUmayr, who said: When the head of ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Ziyād and his companions was brought, they were arranged in the mosque in the open courtyard. I came upon them while they were —

They say: “It has come.” And behold, a snake had come, weaving through the heads until it entered the nostrils of ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Ziyād. It remained there for a while, then came out and went away until it disappeared. Then they said: “It has come,” and it did that two or three times.¹

This is a good and authentic ḥadīth.

102 – Chapter

4115 – ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān and Isḥāq ibn Manṣūr narrated to us, both saying: Muḥammad ibn Yūsuf informed us, from Isrāʾīl, from Maysarah ibn Ḥabīb, from al-Minhāl ibn ʿAmr, from Zirr ibn Ḥubaysh, from Ḥudhayfah, who said: My mother asked me: “When was your last time with him?” — meaning the Prophet, peace be upon him. I said: “I have had no time with him for such-and-such.” She reproached me, so I said to her: “Let me go to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and pray the Maghrib with him, and ask him to seek forgiveness for me and for you.” So I came to the Prophet, peace be upon him, and prayed the Maghrib with him. He prayed until he had prayed the ʿIshāʾ, then he turned away, and I followed him. He heard my voice and said: “Who is this? Ḥudhayfah?” I said: “Yes.” He said: “What is your need? May God forgive you and your mother.” He said: “Indeed, this is an angel who has never descended to the earth before this night. He asked his Lord for permission to greet me and give me glad tidings that Fāṭimah is the mistress of the women of Paradise, and that al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn are the masters of the youth of Paradise.”²

---
¹ Its narrators are trustworthy.
² An authentic ḥadīth; al-Nasāʾī also transmitted it in *al-Kubrā* (380), (8298), and (8365), and it is in *al-Musnad* (23329) and (23436), and *Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān*.

This is a good and ghareeb hadith from this chain; we do not know it except from the narration of Isra'il.

4116 - Mahmud ibn Ghaylan narrated to us, saying: Abu Usamah narrated to us, from Fudayl ibn Marzuq, from 'Adi ibn Thabit, from al-Bara', that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw Hasan and Husayn and said: "O Allah, I love them both, so love them both." (1)
This is a good and authentic hadith.

4117 - Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us, from 'Adi ibn Thabit, who said: I heard al-Bara' ibn 'Azib saying: I saw the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, placing al-Hasan ibn 'Ali on his shoulder while saying: "O Allah, I love him, so love him." (2)
This is an authentic hadith, and this is more authentic than the hadith of al-Fudayl ibn Marzuq.

= (6960) and (7126).
(1) Its chain is good; Fudayl ibn Marzuq falls short of the rank of authentic, and the rest of its narrators are trustworthy. See what follows.
(2) An authentic hadith, also recorded by al-Bukhari (3749), Muslim (2422), al-Nasa'i in "al-Kubra" (8163), and it is in "al-Musnad" (18501) and (18577), and "Sahih Ibn Hibban" (6962).

4118 - Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us, saying: Abu 'Amir al-'Aqadi narrated to us, saying: Zam'a ibn Salih narrated to us, from Salama ibn Wahram, from 'Ikrima, from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was carrying al-Hasan ibn 'Ali on his shoulder, and a man said: "What an excellent mount you are riding, O boy!" The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "And what an excellent rider he is."

This hadith is ghareeb (unfamiliar); we do not know it except through this chain. Zam'a ibn Salih was declared weak by some scholars of hadith due to his memory.

103 - Chapter

4119 - Ibn Abi 'Umar narrated to us, saying: Sufyan narrated to us, from Kathir al-Nawwa', from Abu Idris, from al-Musayyab ibn Najaba, who said: 'Ali ibn Abi Talib said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, every prophet was given seven noble companions — or guardians — and I was given fourteen." We said: "Who are they?" He said: "I and my two sons, Ja'far, Hamza, Abu Bakr, 'Umar, Mus'ab ibn 'Umayr, Bilal, Salman, 'Ammar, al-Miqdad, Hudhayfa, and 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud."

This hadith is hasan ghareeb (good and unfamiliar) through this chain.

This hadith has also been narrated from 'Ali as a stopped narration (mawquf).

104 - The Virtues of the Household of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him -

4120 - Nasr ibn 'Abd al-Rahman al-Kufi narrated to us, saying: Zayd ibn al-Hasan narrated to us, from Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Jabir ibn 'Abd Allah, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, during his Hajj on the Day of 'Arafah, while he was upon his she-camel, al-Qaswa', delivering a sermon, and I heard him say: "O people, indeed I have left among you that which, if you hold fast to it, you will never go astray: the Book of Allah, and my progeny ('itrati), the people of my household."

--------------------------------------------
(1) Sahih by virtue of corroborating witnesses, and this chain is weak due to the weakness of Zayd ibn al-Hasan, who is the Qurashi, the owner of the carpets (sahib al-anmat).

Al-Tabarani also narrated it in "al-Kabir" (2680).

It is corroborated by the hadith of Zayd ibn Arqam narrated by Ahmad (19265) and (19313).

Al-Sindi said, in explanation of "my progeny" ('itrati): It is as if he, peace and blessings be upon him, made them stand in his place, so just as during his lifetime there were the Qur'an and the Prophet, likewise after him there are the Qur'an and his household, but their standing in his place pertains to the obligation of love, care, and kindness, not to acting upon their statements and opinions. Rather, the reference in matters of practice is the Book and the Sunnah. And the scholar al-Turbashti said—and al-Qari transmitted it from him in "Sharh al-Mishkat" 5/600: A man's 'itrah is his household and his closest kin. And because they used the word 'itrah in many different ways, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, clarified it with his saying "the people of my household" (ahl bayti), so that it would be known that he meant by it his descendants, his closest relatives, and his wives.

Al-Qari said: The people of the household are most often the most knowledgeable about the master of the household and his circumstances, so what is meant by them are the scholars among them, those who are acquainted with his biography, those who conform to his way, and those who are knowledgeable of his rulings and his wisdom. And by this, it is fitting that they be set in contrast to the Book of Allah, the Exalted, just as =

In this chapter, there is also [a narration] from Abu Dharr, Abu Sa'id, Zayd ibn Arqam, and Hudhayfah ibn Asid.

This hadith is hasan gharib from this chain of transmission.

Zayd ibn al-Hasan was narrated from by Sa'id ibn Sulayman and more than one of the people of knowledge.

4121 - Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Sulayman al-Asbahani narrated to us, from Yahya ibn 'Ubayd, from 'Ata', from 'Umar ibn Abi Salamah, the stepson of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: This verse was revealed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him — {Indeed, Allah intends to remove from you the impurity, O People of the House, and to purify you with a thorough purification} [al-Ahzab: 33] — in the house of Umm Salamah. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, called for Fatimah, Hasan, and Husayn, and covered them with a cloak, while 'Ali was behind his back. He covered them with a cloak, then said: "O Allah, these are the People of my House, so remove impurity from them and purify them with a thorough purification." Umm Salamah said: "And am I with them, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "You are in your place, and you are upon goodness."

In this chapter, there is also [a narration] from Umm Salamah, Ma'qil ibn Yasar, Abu al-Hamra', and Anas ibn Malik.

This hadith is gharib from this chain of transmission.

--------------------------------------------

He said: {And He teaches them the Book and the Wisdom}.

(1) A sound hadith, whose chain of transmission has been previously cited in (3483).

4122 - Ali ibn al-Mundhir al-Kufi narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Fudayl narrated to us, saying: al-A'mash narrated to us, from 'Atiyyah, from Abu Sa'id. And al-A'mash, from Habib ibn Abi Thabit, from Zayd ibn Arqam, who both said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I am leaving among you that which, if you hold fast to it, you will never go astray after me. One of them is greater than the other: the Book of Allah, a rope stretched from heaven to earth, and my family (itrati), the people of my household. They will not separate until they return to me at the Basin (al-Hawd). So see how you treat them after I am gone."

This hadith is hasan gharib.

4123 - Abu Dawud Sulayman ibn al-Ash'ath narrated to us, saying: Yahya ibn Ma'in narrated to us, saying: Hisham ibn Yusuf narrated to us, from Abdullah ibn Sulayman al-Nawfali, from Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Abdullah ibn Abbas, from his father, from Ibn Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Love Allah for what He provides you with of His blessings, and love me for the love of Allah, and love the people of my household for my love."

This is a good and strange hadith. We only know it through this chain of transmission.

105 - The Virtues of Mu‘adh ibn Jabal, Zayd ibn Thabit, Ubayy ibn Ka‘b, and Abu ‘Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah, may Allah be pleased with them all

4124 - Sufyan ibn Waki‘ narrated to us, saying: Humayd ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, from Dawud al-‘Attar, from Ma‘mar, from Qatadah, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The most merciful of my ummah to my ummah is Abu Bakr, and the most severe of them in the matter of Allah is ‘Umar, and the most truthful of them in modesty is ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan, and the most knowledgeable of them concerning the lawful and the unlawful is Mu‘adh ibn Jabal, and the most knowledgeable of them in the laws of inheritance is Zayd ibn Thabit, and the best reciter of them is Ubayy ibn Ka‘b, and every ummah has a trustee, and the trustee of this ummah is Abu ‘Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah."

This is a strange hadith. We do not know it from the narration of Qatadah except through this chain. Abu Qilabah has also narrated it from Anas, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with similar wording.

4125 - Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us, saying: ‘Abd al-Wahhab ibn ‘Abd al-Majid al-Thaqafi narrated to us, saying: Khalid al-Hadhdha’ narrated to us, from Abu Qilabah---------------------------------------------
= due to his being unknown. He said in "Diwan al-Du‘afa’": He is not known. Al-Bukhari cited it in "Al-Tarikh al-Kabir" 1/183, al-Tabarani in "Al-Kabir" (2639), al-Hakim 3/150, Abu Nu‘aym in "Al-Hilyah" 3/211, al-Khatib in "His History" 4/160, and al-Mizzi in "Tahdhib al-Kamal" 15/64.

(1) A sound hadith, from the narration of Abu Qilabah from Anas, which the author will mention after this narration. This chain is weak due to the weakness of Sufyan ibn Waki‘. It was also narrated as mursal from Qatadah by ‘Abd al-Razzaq (203) and Sa‘id ibn Mansur (4).

On the authority of Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The most merciful of my nation to my nation is Abu Bakr, and the most severe of them in the matter of Allah is 'Umar, and the most truthful of them in modesty is 'Uthman, and the most learned of them in the Book of Allah is Ubayy ibn Ka'b, and the most knowledgeable of them in the laws of inheritance is Zayd ibn Thabit, and the most knowledgeable of them in the lawful and the unlawful is Mu'adh ibn Jabal. Indeed, every nation has a trustee, and the trustee of this nation is Abu 'Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah." (1)

This is a good and authentic hadith.

4126 - Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us, saying: I heard Qatadah narrating, on the authority of Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to Ubayy ibn Ka'b: "Indeed, Allah has commanded me to recite to you: {Those who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture...} [Al-Bayyinah: 1]." He said: "And He named me?" He said: "Yes." So he wept. (2)

This is a good and authentic hadith.

It has also been narrated from Ubayy ibn Ka'b, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said... and he mentioned [the same].

--------------------------------------------
(1) Its chain of transmission is authentic. It was recorded by Ibn Majah (154), al-Nasa'i in "Al-Kubra" (8185) and (8229), al-Hakim in "Al-Mustadrak" 3/422, al-Tahawi in "Sharh Mushkil al-Athar" (808), and it is in "Al-Musnad" (12904) and (13990), and "Sahih Ibn Hibban" (7131), (7137), and (7252).
(2) An authentic hadith. It was recorded by al-Bukhari (3809), Muslim (799) and (2465) (121), al-Nasa'i in "Al-Kubra" (8238), and it is in "Al-Musnad" (12320) and (12919), and "Sahih Ibn Hibban" (7144).

Similar to it (1).

4127 – Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us, saying: Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: Four people collected the Qur'an during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, all of them from the Ansar: Ubayy ibn Ka'b, Mu'adh ibn Jabal, Zayd ibn Thabit, and Abu Zayd. He said: I said to Anas: "Who is Abu Zayd?" He said: "One of my uncles." (2)

--------------------------------------------
(1) In (S) and the printed edition, the following appears after this, though it is not found in our manuscript sources here:
3793 – Mahmud ibn Ghaylan narrated to us, saying: Abu Dawud narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah informed us, from 'Asim, who said: I heard Zirr ibn Hubaysh narrating from Ubayy ibn Ka'b that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: "Indeed, Allah has commanded me to recite to you." So he recited to him: {Those who disbelieve from the People of the Scripture were not...} and he recited in it: "Indeed, the true religion with Allah is the Hanifiyyah, the Muslim one—not Judaism, not Christianity, not Magianism. Whoever does good will not be denied its reward." And he recited to him: "If the son of Adam had a valley of wealth, he would desire a second; and if he had a second, he would desire a third. Nothing fills the belly of the son of Adam but dust, and Allah accepts repentance from whoever repents."
It will come later with the author's chain and text at number (4236), and we will cite it there.

(2) A sound hadith. Al-Bukhari recorded it (3810) and (5003), Muslim (2465) (119) and (120), al-Nasa'i in "Al-Kubra" (8000) and (8286), and it is in "Al-Musnad" (13441) and (13942), and "Sahih Ibn Hibban" (7130).
This statement of Anas carries no restrictive implication, so it does not necessarily mean that no one else collected it. Abu 'Ubayd mentioned the reciters among the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and counted among the Muhajirun the four caliphs, Talhah, Sa'd, Ibn Mas'ud, Hudhayfah, Salim, Abu Hurayrah, 'Abdullah ibn al-Sa'ib, and the 'Abadilah; and among the women, 'A'ishah, Hafṣah, and Umm Salamah. Ibn Abi Dawud also counted in his book "Al-Shari'ah" among =

This is a good and authentic hadith.

4128 - Qutaybah narrated to us, saying: ‘Abd al-‘Azīz ibn Muḥammad narrated to us, from Suhayl ibn Abī Ṣāliḥ, from his father, from Abū Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Excellent is the man Abū Bakr, excellent is the man ‘Umar, excellent is the man Abū ‘Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrāḥ, excellent is the man Usayd ibn Ḥuḍayr, excellent is the man Thābit ibn Qays ibn Shammās, excellent is the man Mu‘ādh ibn Jabal, excellent is the man Mu‘ādh ibn ‘Amr ibn al-Jamūḥ."

This is a good hadith; we only know it from the narration of Suhayl.

4129 - Maḥmūd ibn Ghaylān narrated to us, saying: Wakī‘ narrated to us, saying: Sufyān narrated to us, from Abū Isḥāq, from Ṣilah ibn Zufar, from Ḥudhayfah ibn al-Yamān, who said: Al-‘Āqib and Al-Sayyid came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: "Send with us your trustworthy man." He said: "I will indeed send with you a man who is truly trustworthy." The people looked forward to that, and he sent Abū ‘Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrāḥ.

He said: Abu Ishaq, when he narrated this hadith on the authority of Silah, would say: "I heard it sixty years ago."

This is a good and authentic hadith.

It has also been narrated from 'Umar and Anas, on the authority of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he said: "Every nation has a trustee, and the trustee of this nation is Abu 'Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah."

106 - The Virtues of Salman al-Farisi, may Allah be pleased with him

4130 - Sufyan ibn Waki' narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to us, from al-Hasan ibn Salih, from Abu Rabi'ah al-Iyadi, from al-Hasan, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, Paradise yearns for three: 'Ali, 'Ammar, and Salman."

This is a ḥasan gharīb ḥadīth; we do not know it except from the ḥadīth of al-Ḥasan ibn Ṣāliḥ.

107 – The Virtues of ʿAmmār ibn Yāsir, whose kunyah is Abū al-Yaqẓān, may Allah be pleased with him.

4131 – Muḥammad ibn Bashshār narrated to us, saying: ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Mahdī narrated to us, saying: Sufyān narrated to us, from Abū Isḥāq, from Hāniʾ ibn Hāniʾ, from ʿAlī, who said: ʿAmmār came seeking permission to enter upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, so he said: "Give him permission. Welcome to the good and purified one."

This is a ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ ḥadīth.

4132 – al-Qāsim ibn Dīnār al-Kūfī narrated to us, saying: ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Mūsā narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Siyāh, from Ḥabīb ibn Abī Thābit, from ʿAṭāʾ ibn Yasār, from ʿĀʾishah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "ʿAmmār was never given the choice between..."

"…two matters, except that he chose the more right of them." (1)

This is a good and ghareeb hadith. We do not know it except through this chain, from the narration of ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Siyāh, who is a Kufan shaykh. The people have narrated from him, and he has a son called Yazīd ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz, who is trustworthy; Yaḥyā ibn Ādam narrated from him.

4133 - Maḥmūd ibn Ghaylān narrated to us, saying: Wakīʿ narrated to us, saying: Sufyān narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-Malik ibn ʿUmayr, from a mawlā of Ribʿī, from Ribʿī ibn Ḥirāsh, from Ḥudhayfah, who said: We were sitting with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when he said: "Indeed, I do not know how long my remaining among you will be, so follow the example of the two after me" — and he pointed to Abū Bakr and ʿUmar — "and be guided by the guidance of ʿAmmār, and whatever Ibn Masʿūd narrates to you, believe him." (2)

This is a good hadith.

Ibrāhīm ibn Saʿd narrated this hadith from Sufyān al-Thawrī, from—

--------------------------------------------
(1) A sound hadith. It was recorded by Ibn Mājah (148) and al-Nasāʾī in al-Kubrā (8276), and it is in al-Musnad (24820).
His saying "arshadahumā": al-Mubārakfūrī said: i.e., the more correct and sounder of them, and the closer of them to the truth. In some copies: "ashaddahumā," i.e., the harder of them. The most apparent way to reconcile the narrations is that he would choose the more correct and sounder of them when its preponderance was clear, and otherwise he would choose the easier of them.
(2) A good hadith, whose source has been cited previously in (3993).

Abd al-Malik ibn ʿUmayr, from Hilāl, the freed slave of Ribʿī, from Ribʿī, from Hudhayfa, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him — similar to it.

And Sālim al-Murādī al-Kūfī has narrated, from ʿAmr ibn Harim, from Ribʿī ibn Hirāsh, from Hudhayfa, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him — similar to this.

4134 — Abū Muṣʿab al-Madanī narrated to us, saying: ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Muḥammad narrated to us, from al-ʿAlāʾ ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, from his father, from Abū Hurayra, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Rejoice, ʿAmmār — the transgressing faction will kill you."

And in this chapter, on the authority of Umm Salama, ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAmr, Abū al-Yasar, and Hudhayfa.

This is a good, authentic, and singular hadith among the narrations of al-ʿAlāʾ ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān.

4135 — Maḥmūd ibn Ghaylān narrated to us, saying: Numayr narrated to us, from--------------------------------------------
(1) A sound hadith; Abū Yaʿlā recorded it (6524), and Ibn al-Athīr in "Usd al-Ghāba" 4/133.
It is corroborated by the hadith of Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī in al-Bukhārī's "Ṣaḥīḥ" (447), and Muslim (2915), and it is in "al-Musnad" (11011), (11161), and (22609).
And the hadith of ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿUmar is in Aḥmad (6499), with a sound chain of transmission; see the rest of its corroborating witnesses and the discussion on it there.

Al-A‘mash, from ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Umayr — he is Abū al-Yaqẓān — from Abū Ḥarb ibn Abī al-Aswad al-Dīlī, from ‘Abd Allāh ibn ‘Amr, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “The green [sky] has never shaded, nor the brown [earth] carried, anyone more truthful than Abū Dharr.”(1)

On this topic, [there is also a narration] from Abū al-Dardā’ and Abū Dharr.

This is a ḥasan ḥadīth.

4136 — Al-‘Abbās al-‘Anbarī narrated to us, saying: al-Naḍr ibn Muḥammad narrated to us, saying: ‘Ikrimah ibn ‘Ammār narrated to us, saying: Abū Zumayl narrated to me, from Mālik ibn Mirthad, from his father, from Abū Dharr, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: “The green [sky] has never shaded, nor the brown [earth] carried, anyone of eloquent speech more truthful or more faithful than Abū Dharr, the likeness of Jesus son of Mary.” Then ‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb said, as if envious: “O Messenger of Allah, do you acknowledge that for him?” He said: “Yes, so acknowledge it.”(2)

--------------------------------------------
(1) Ḥasan through its witnesses; this chain is weak due to the weakness of ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Umayr. It was also recorded by Ibn Mājah (156), and it is in al-Musnad (6519). It is supported by the ḥadīth of Abū al-Dardā’ recorded by Aḥmad (21724), which is also ḥasan through its witnesses, and by the following ḥadīth of Abū Dharr.

(2) A ḥasan ḥadīth through its witnesses, except for the statement: “Then ‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb said, as if envious.” This chain is weak — Mālik ibn Mirthad and his father were not declared trustworthy by anyone other than Ibn Ḥibbān and al-‘Ijlī. It is found in Ibn Ḥibbān in abbreviated form (7132). Ibn Ḥibbān said: It is likely that this was a statement made according to the circumstances of a particular matter.
