Ahmad 5694

Its chain of transmission is hasan. Abu Walid is Tayalisi, Hisham bin Abdul-Malik, who is reliable, an authority, a hafiz, and an imam. We mentioned his reliability in the commentary on 2891, and we add here that Bukhari gave his biography in al-Kabir 4/2/195 and al-Saghir 239. Ubaydullah bin Iyad bin Laqeet Sadusi is reliable, and Ibn Main, Nasai, and others affirmed his reliability. His father, Iyad bin Laqeet Sadusi, is reliable, and Ibn Main, Nasai, and others affirmed his reliability, and Bukhari gave his biography in al-Kabir 1/2/69.As for Abdul-Rahman bin Naam or Nuaym Aaraji, the text of his biography in al-Tajeel reads as follows, "He said, a man asked Ibn Umar about mutah while I was with him," and the hadith continues, and in it Ibn Umar says, "We were not people who engaged in illicit sexual relations," and in it is the hadith, "Before the Dajjal there will be liars." Those who transmitted from him are Iyad bin Laqeet and Muhammad bin Talha bin Musarrif. There is some obscurity regarding him, as Husayni said. He marked him with the symbol for al-Musnad, so it appears that the only thing he has in al-Musnad is this hadith with this chain and the chain that follows it. I found no biography for him beyond this, so he is a successor who was not mentioned with any criticism, and he is therefore to be treated as concealed but trustworthy.As for this Abdul-Rahman, Abu Walid Tayalisi was uncertain about his father's name, whether it was Naam or Nuaym, while Affan, in his narration of this hadith which will come at 5818, stated definitively that he was simply Abdul-Rahman Aaraji.The hadith then appears in Majma al-Zawaid 7:332,333, where it says, "Ahmad and Abu Yaala narrated all of it, with the story of mutah and what follows it, as did Tabarani, except that he said, 'Before the Hour there will be the Dajjal, and before the Dajjal there will be liars, thirty or more.' We said, 'What is their sign?' He said, 'That they will bring you a sunnah you were not upon, changing your sunnah and your religion through it. So when you see them, avoid them and treat them as enemies.'" He did not point out any defect in it nor mention its grade, and perhaps he left that aside until he could find a biography for Abdul-Rahman bin Naam.This hadith concerns two matters. The first is the marriage of mutah. Ibn Umar was among those who held that it was forbidden and that the permission for it had been abrogated, as is reported from him in the books of disputed legal issues. In Majma al-Zawaid 4:265 it is reported that Ibn Umar was asked about mutah, and he said, "Forbidden." It was said to him, "But Ibn Abbas sees no harm in it." He said, "By Allah, Ibn Abbas certainly knows that the Messenger of Allah forbade it on the day of Khaybar, and we were not people who engaged in illicit sexual relations." Tabarani narrated it, and in it is Mansur bin Dinar, who is daif.Mansur bin Dinar Tamimi is reliable. Ibn Hibban mentioned him among the reliable narrators, though al-Tajeel and Lisan Mizan state that Ibn Main declared him daif, and that Bukhari said regarding him, "There is something questionable in his hadith." But Bukhari did not give him a biography in al-Saghir, nor did he mention him among the daif narrators, and he did give him a biography in al-Kabir 4/1/347 without saying this about him or mentioning any criticism of him. Nasai mentioned him among the daif narrators at 29 and said, "He is not strong."This hadith, meaning the one I have quoted from al-Zawaid, was mentioned by the hafiz in al-Fath 9:145, where he said, "Abu Awana narrated it and graded it sahih, from the route of Salim bin Abdullah, that a man asked Ibn Umar about mutah," and he mentioned the hadith, except that he did not name Ibn Abbas. It appears to me that this is a different route from the one containing Mansur bin Dinar, though it might be the same one. I then became certain that it is a different one, for the hadith of Salim from Ibn Umar is mentioned in al-Zawaid 4:265 before the hadith I quoted, and it is longer than it and more detailed, and it explicitly mentions Ibn Abbas. The author of al-Zawaid said, "Tabarani narrated it in al-Awsat, and its narrators are the narrators of al-Sahih, except for Muthanna bin Sulayman, who is reliable." See what has already passed in Musnad Ibn Masud at 3986 and 4113.The second matter concerns the Dajjal and the thirty liars. As for the Dajjal, many hadiths concerning him have already passed in Musnad Ibn Umar, among them 5353 and 5553. As for the thirty liars, in Musnad Ibn Umar there is this hadith and the one following it, and also 5808, and all of these are a single hadith from this route. This same meaning will also come from another route, through Ali bin Zayd from Yusuf bin Mihran from Ibn Umar, at 5985. Its meaning is also established from the hadith of Abu Hurairah in Bukhari 6:454, and from the hadith of Jabir bin Samura in Sahih Muslim 2:372.
