Ahmad 6054

Its chain is sahih. Bukhari related it 8:483 from Qutayba bin Saeed, Muslim 2:490 from Yahya bin Yahya, Muhammad bin Rumh, and Qutayba, and Ibn Majah 2:101 from Muhammad bin Rumh, all three of them from Layth bin Saad, with this chain. Ibn Kathir quoted it in his tafsir 8:283, and in his history 4:77, from the Sahihayn. Part of it has already passed in abridged form several times, the last being 5582.Buwayra, Yaqut said in Mujam al-Buldan, it is the diminutive of "bir" (well), the well from which one draws water. Buwayra is the site of the dwellings of Banu Nadir, the Jews whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raided six months after the Battle of Uhud.Lina, Hafiz said in Fath al-Bari, Abu Ubayda said regarding the words of the Most High, "whatever palm trees you cut down" [Hashr 59:5], meaning any palm tree, from among the varieties, so long as it was not an ajwa or barni type, except that the waw was dropped due to the kasra on the lam. Ibn Athir said, "Lawn" is a type of palm tree, and it is also said to mean the daqal (a poor quality date), and it is also said to mean all palm trees except the barni and ajwa varieties. The people of Madinah call them "alwan," its singular being "lina," originally "lawna," with the waw changed to ya because of the kasra on the lam.The word "lawna" was marked in al-Nihayah with damma on the lam, which is an error by a copyist or printer. We have corrected it from Lisan (volume 17, page 280, line 1) in its quotation of Ibn Athir's statement. Qadi Iyad explicitly stated that it is marked with kasra on the lam in Mashariq al-Anwar 1:365, where he said, "The origin of 'lina' is 'lawna' with kasra on the lam, and the waw was changed to ya because of the kasra on what preceded it."
