Sahih Muslim

حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ الْوَابِصِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّقِّيُّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ کَانَ يَحْيَی بْنُ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ کَذَّابًا

Al-Faḍl bin Sahl narrated to me, Walīd bin Sālih narrated to us, he said, Ubayd Allah bin Amr said, Zayd- meaning Ibn Abī Unaysah – said: ‘Do not take [Ḥadīth] from my brother ’.

عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، ← عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّقِّيُّ، ← عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ الْوَابِصِيُّ ← أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ

حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ ذُکِرَ فَرْقَدٌ عِنْدَ أَيُّوبَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ فَرْقَدًا لَيْسَ صَاحِبَ حَدِيثٍ

Ahmad bin Ibrāhīm ad-Dawraqī narrated to me, he said, Abd us-Salām al-Wābisī narrated to me, he said, Abd Allah bin Ja’far ar-Raqqī narrated to me, on authority of Ubayd Allah bin Amr, he said: ‘Yahyā bin Abī Unaysah was a liar’.

حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ← سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ← أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَی بْنَ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانَ ذُکِرَ عِنْدَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ اللَّيْثِيُّ فَضَعَّفَهُ جِدًّا فَقِيلَ لِيَحْيَی أَضْعَفُ مِنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ عَطَائٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا کُنْتُ أَرَی أَنَّ أَحَدًا يَرْوِي عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ

Ahmad bin Ibrāhīm narrated to me, he said, Sulaymān bin Harb narrated to me, on authority of Hammād bin Zayd, he said, Farqad was mentioned near Ayyūb, so he said: ‘Indeed Farqad is not a companion of Ḥadīth’.

عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ

حَدَّثَنِي بِشْرُ بْنُ الْحَکَمِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَی بْنَ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانَ ضَعَّفَ حَکِيمَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ وَعَبْدَ الْأَعْلَی وَضَعَّفَ يَحْيَی بْنَ مُوسَی بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ حَدِيثُهُ رِيحٌ وَضَعَّفَ مُوسَی بْنَ دِهْقَانَ وَعِيسَی بْنَ أَبِي عِيسَی الْمَدَنِيّ َقَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عِيسَی يَقُولُ قَالَ لِي ابْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ إِذَا قَدِمْتَ عَلَی جَرِيرٍ فَاکْتُبْ عِلْمَهُ کُلَّهُ إِلَّا حَدِيثَ ثَلَاثَةٍ لَا تَکْتُبْ حَدِيثَ عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ مُعَتِّبٍ وَالسَّرِيِّ بْنِ إِسْمَعِيلَ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ

Abd ur-Rahman bin Bishr al-Abdī narrated to me, he said, I heard Muhammad bin Abd Allah bin Ubayd bin Umayr al-Laythī was mentioned near Yahyā bin Sa’īd al-Qattān, so he weakened him severely. Then it was said to Yahyā: ‘More weak than Ya’qūb bin Atā ’?’ He said: ‘Yes’. Then he said: ‘I did not see anyone transmitting on authority of Muhammad bin Abd Allah bin Ubayd bin Umayr’.

بِشْرُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ،

قال ابو الحسين مسلم بن الحجاج القشيري رحمه الله: بعون الله نبتدئ وإياه نستكفي، وما توفيقنا إلا بالله جل جلاله. ¤ حدثني ابو خيثمة زهير بن حرب ، حدثنا وكيع ، عن كهمس ، عن عبد الله بن بريدة ، عن يحيى بن يعمر . ح وحدثنا وهذا حديثه، عبيد الله بن معاذ العنبري ، حدثنا ابي ، حدثنا كهمس ، عن ابن بريدة ، عن يحيى بن يعمر ، قال: كان اول من قال في القدر بالبصرة: معبد الجهني، فانطلقت انا وحميد بن عبد الرحمن الحميري، حاجين او معتمرين، فقلنا: لو لقينا احدا من اصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فسالناه عما يقول هؤلاء في القدر، فوفق لنا عبد الله بن عمر بن الخطاب داخلا المسجد، فاكتنفته انا، وصاحبي، احدنا عن يمينه والآخر عن شماله، فظننت ان صاحبي سيكل الكلام إلي، فقلت: ابا عبد الرحمن، إنه قد ظهر قبلنا ناس يقرءون القرآن، ويتقفرون العلم، وذكر من شانهم، وانهم يزعمون ان لا قدر، وان الامر انف، قال: فإذا لقيت اولئك، فاخبرهم اني بريء منهم، وانهم برآء مني، والذي يحلف به عبد الله بن عمر، لو ان لاحدهم، مثل احد ذهبا، فانفقه ما قبل الله منه، حتى يؤمن بالقدر، ثم قال: حدثني ابي عمر بن الخطاب ، قال: بينما نحن عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ذات يوم، إذ طلع علينا رجل شديد، بياض الثياب، شديد، سواد الشعر، لا يرى عليه اثر السفر، ولا يعرفه منا احد، حتى جلس إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فاسند ركبتيه إلى ركبتيه، ووضع كفيه على فخذيه، وقال: يا محمد، اخبرني عن الإسلام، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " الإسلام ان تشهد ان لا إله إلا الله، وان محمدا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وتقيم الصلاة، وتؤتي الزكاة، وتصوم رمضان، وتحج البيت إن استطعت إليه سبيلا "، قال: صدقت، قال: فعجبنا له يساله، ويصدقه، قال: فاخبرني عن الإيمان، قال: " ان تؤمن بالله، وملائكته، وكتبه، ورسله، واليوم الآخر، وتؤمن بالقدر خيره وشره "، قال: صدقت، قال: فاخبرني عن الإحسان، قال: " ان تعبد الله كانك تراه، فإن لم تكن تراه، فإنه يراك "، قال: فاخبرني عن الساعة، قال: ما المسئول عنها باعلم من السائل، قال: فاخبرني عن امارتها، قال: " ان تلد الامة ربتها، وان ترى الحفاة العراة العالة رعاء الشاء، يتطاولون في البنيان "، قال: ثم انطلق فلبثت مليا، ثم قال لي: يا عمر اتدري من السائل؟ قلت: الله ورسوله اعلم، قال: فإنه جبريل، اتاكم يعلمكم دينكم.

Bishr bin al-Hakam narrated to me, he said, I heard Yahyā bin Sa’īd al-Qattān weaken Hakīm bin Jubayr and Abd al-A’lā; and he weakened Yahyā Mūsā bin Dīnār [there is no ‘bin’ between ‘Yahyā’ and ‘Mūsā’]; [Yahyā] said: ‘His Ḥadīth are Rīh or ‘wind’ [i.e., not established and weak]. [Yahyā] weakened Mūsā bin Dihqān and Īsā bin Abī Īsā al-Madanī. [Muslim] said, ‘I heard al-Hasan bin Īsā saying ‘Ibn al-Mubārak said to me: ‘When you go to Jarīr then write down all of his knowledge except the Ḥadīth of 3 [people] - do not write the Ḥadīth of Ubaydah bin Mu’attib, as-Sarī bin Ismā’īl, or Muhammad bin Sālim’.’

یَّحْیَی بْنِ یَعْمُرَ ← ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ← كَهْمَسٌ، ← أَبِي ← وهذا حديثه، عبيد الله بن معاذ العنبري ← یَّحْیَی بْنِ یَعْمُرَ ← عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ← كَهْمَسٌ، ← وَكِيعٌ، ← أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ،

حدثني محمد بن عبيد الغبري وابو كامل الجحدري واحمد بن عبدة ، قالوا: حدثنا حماد بن زيد ، عن مطر الوراق ، عن عبد الله بن بريدة ، عن يحيى بن يعمر ، قال: لما تكلم معبد بما تكلم به في شان القدر انكرنا ذلك، قال: فحججت انا وحميد بن عبد الرحمن الحميري حجة، وساقوا الحديث بمعنى حديث كهمس وإسناده، وفيه بعض زيادة، ونقصان احرف.

It is narrated on the authority of Yahya b. Ya'mur that the first man who discussed qadr (Divine Decree) in Basra was Ma'bad al-Juhani. I along with Humaid b. 'Abdur-Rahman Himyari set out for pilgrimage or for 'Umrah and said: Should it so happen that we come into contact with one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) we shall ask him about what is talked about taqdir (Divine Decree). Accidentally we came across Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab, while he was entering the mosque. My companion and I surrounded him. One of us (stood) on his right and the other stood on his left. I expected that my companion would authorize me to speak. I therefore said: Abu Abdur Rahman! There have appeared some people in our land who recite the Qur'an and pursue knowledge. And then after talking about their affairs, added: They (such people) claim that there is no such thing as Divine Decree and events are not predestined. He (Abdullah ibn Umar) said: When you happen to meet such people tell them that I have nothing to do with them and they have nothing to do with me. And verily they are in no way responsible for my (belief). Abdullah ibn Umar swore by Him (the Lord) (and said): If any one of them (who does not believe in the Divine Decree) had with him gold equal to the bulk of (the mountain) Uhud and spent it (in the way of Allah), Allah would not accept it unless he affirmed his faith in Divine Decree. He further said: My father, Umar ibn al-Khattab, told me: One day we were sitting in the company of Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) when there appeared before us a man dressed in pure white clothes, his hair extraordinarily black. There were no signs of travel on him. None amongst us recognized him. At last he sat with the Apostle (peace be upon him) He knelt before him placed his palms on his thighs and said: Muhammad, inform me about al-Islam. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Al-Islam implies that you testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and you establish prayer, pay Zakat, observe the fast of Ramadan, and perform pilgrimage to the (House) if you are solvent enough (to bear the expense of) the journey. He (the inquirer) said: You have told the truth. He (Umar ibn al-Khattab) said: It amazed us that he would put the question and then he would himself verify the truth. He (the inquirer) said: Inform me about Iman (faith). He (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you affirm your faith in Allah, in His angels, in His Books, in His Apostles, in the Day of Judgment, and you affirm your faith in the Divine Decree about good and evil. He (the inquirer) said: You have told the truth. He (the inquirer) again said: Inform me about al-Ihsan (performance of good deeds). He (the Holy Prophet) said: That you worship Allah as if you are seeing Him, for though you don't see Him, He, verily, sees you. He (the enquirer) again said: Inform me about the hour (of the Doom). He (the Holy Prophet) remarked: One who is asked knows no more than the one who is inquiring (about it). He (the inquirer) said: Tell me some of its indications. He (the Holy Prophet) said: That the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress and master, that you will find barefooted, destitute goat-herds vying with one another in the construction of magnificent buildings. He (the narrator, Umar ibn al-Khattab) said: Then he (the inquirer) went on his way but I stayed with him (the Holy Prophet) for a long while. He then, said to me: Umar, do you know who this inquirer was? I replied: Allah and His Apostle knows best. He (the Holy Prophet) remarked: He was Gabriel (the angel). He came to you in order to instruct you in matters of religion.

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ يَعْمَرَ وَحُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَا لَقِينَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ فَذَکَرْنَا الْقَدَرَ وَمَا يَقُولُونَ فِيهِ فَاقْتَصَّ الْحَدِيثَ کَنَحْوِ حَدِيثِهِمْ عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفِيهِ شَيْئٌ مِنْ زِيَادَةٍ وَقَدْ نَقَصَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا

It is narrated on the authority of Yahya b. Ya'mur that when Ma'bad discussed the problem pertaining to Divine Decree, we refuted that. He (the narrator) said: I and Humaid b. Abdur-Rahman Himyari argued. And they carried on the conversation about the purport of the hadith related by Kahmas and its chain of transmission too, and there is some variation of words.

يَحْيَی بْنِ يَعْمَرَ وَحُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ← عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ← عُثْمَانَ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ، ← يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ

حَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ يَعْمَرَ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عُمَرَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِهِمْ

It is narrated on the authority of Yahya b. Ya'mur and Humaid b. 'Abdur-Rahman that they said: We met Abdullah b. 'Umar and we discussed about the Divine Decree, and what they talked about it and he narrated the hadith that has been transmitted by 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). There is a slight variation in that.

عُمَرَ، ← ابْنِ عُمَرَ ← یَّحْیَی بْنِ یَعْمُرَ ← أَبِيهِ ← الْمُعْتَمِرُ، ← يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ← حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ،

The same hadith is mentioned through a different chain.

أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ← اَبِیْ زُرْعَۃَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِیْرٍ، ← أَبِي حَيَّانَ، ← إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ← زُهَيْرٍ ← ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، ← زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ جَمِيعًا ← أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَيَّانَ التَّيْمِيُّ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ إِذَا وَلَدَتْ الْأَمَةُ بَعْلَهَا يَعْنِي السَّرَارِيَّ

Abu Huraira reported: One day the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) appeared before the public that a man came to him and said: Prophet of Allah, (tell me) what is Iman. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you affirm your faith in Allah, His angels, His Books, His meeting, His Messengers and that you affirm your faith in the Resurrection hereafter. He (again) said: Messenger of Allah, (tell me) what does al-Islam signify. He (the Holy Prophet) replied: Al-Islam signifies that you worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him and you establish obligatory prayer and you pay the obligatory poor-rate (Zakat) and you observe the fast of Ramadan. He (the inquirer) again said: Messenger of Allah, what does al-Ihsan imply? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you worship Allah as if you are seeing Him, and in case you fail to see Him, then observe prayer (with this idea in your mind) that (at least) He is seeing you. He (the inquirer ) again said: Messenger of Allah, when would there be the hour (of Doom)? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: The one who is asked about it is no better informed than the inquirer. I, however, narrate some of its signs (and these are): when the slave-girl will give birth to he master, when the naked, barefooted would become the chiefs of the people - these are some of the signs of (Doom). (Moreover) when the shepherds of the black (camels) would exult themselves in buildings, this is one of the signs of (Doom). (Doom) is one of the five (happenings wrapped in the unseen) which no one knows but Allah. Then he (the Messenger of Allah) recited (the verse): Verily Allah! with Him alone is the knowledge of the hour and He it is Who sends (down the rain) and knows that which is in the wombs and no person knows whatsoever he shall earn tomorrow, and a person knows not in whatsoever land he shall die. Verily Allah is Knowing, Aware. He (the narrator, Abu Huraira) said: Then the person turned back and went away. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Bring that man back to me. They (the Companions of the Prophet present there) went to bring him back, but they saw nothing there. Upon this the Messenger of Allah remarked: he was Gabriel, who came to teach the people their religion

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Ask me (about matters pertaining to religion), but they (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) were too much overawed out of profound respect for him to ask him (anything). In the meanwhile a man came there, and sat near his knees and said: Messenger of Allah, what al-lslam is? -to which he (the Holy Prophet) replied: You must not associate anything with Allah, and establish prayer, pay the poor-rate (Zakat) and observe (the fasts) of Ramadan. He said: You (have) told the truth. He (again) said: Messenger of Allah, what al-Iman (the faith) is? He (the Holy Prophet) said: That you affirm your faith in Allah, His angels, His Books, His meeting, His Apostles, and that you believe in Resurrection and that you believe in Qadr (Divine Decree) in all its entirety, He (the inquirer) said: You (have) told the truth. He (again) said: Messenger of Allah, what al-Ihsan is? Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: (Al-Ihsan implies) that you fear Allah as if you are seeing Him, and though you see Him not, verily He is seeing you. He (the inquirer) said: You (have) told the truth. He (the inquirer) said: When there would be the hour (of Doom)? (Upon this) he (the HolyProphet said: The one who is being asked about it is no better informed than the inquirer himself. I, however, narrate some of its signs (and these are): when you see a slave (woman) giving birth to her master - that is one of the signs of (Doom) ; when you see barefooted, naked, deaf and dumb (ignorant and foolish persons) as the rulers of the earth - that is one of the signs of the Doom. And when you see the shepherds of black camels exult in buildings - that is one of the signs of Doom. The (Doom) is one of the five things (wrapped) in the unseen. No one knows them except Allah. Then (the Holy Prophet) recited (the folowing verse): Verily Allah! with Him alone is the knowledge of the hour and He it is Who sends down the rain and knows that which is in the wombs and no person knows whatsoever he shall earn on morrow and a person knows not in whatsoever land he shall die. Verily Allah is Knowing, Aware. He (the narrator, Abu Huraira) said: Then the person stood up an (made his way). The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Bring him back to me. He was searched for, but they (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) could not find him. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) thereupon said: He was Gabriel and he wanted to teach you (things pertaining to religion) when you did not ask (them yourselves).
