حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُصَفَّی حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ وَأَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَاشِدُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا عُرِجَ بِي مَرَرْتُ بِقَوْمٍ لَهُمْ أَظْفَارٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ يَخْمُشُونَ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَصُدُورَهُمْ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَؤُلَائِ يَا جِبْرِيلُ قَالَ هَؤُلَائِ الَّذِينَ يَأْکُلُونَ لُحُومَ النَّاسِ وَيَقَعُونَ فِي أَعْرَاضِهِمْ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد حَدَّثَنَاه يَحْيَی بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ بَقِيَّةَ لَيْسَ فِيهِ أَنَسٌ حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ أَبِي عِيسَی السَّيْلَحِينِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُغِيرَةِ کَمَا قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُصَفَّی
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4878
Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet ﷺ said: When I was taken up to heaven I passed by people who had nails of copper and were scratching their faces and their breasts. I said: Who are these people, Gabriel? He replied: They are those who were given to back biting and who aspersed people's honour. Abu Dawud said: Yahya bin Uthman has also transmitted it from Baqiyyah, there is no mention of Anas in it.
