Ahmad 6435

Its isnad is sahih. Sufyan here is Thawri. The obscurity of the man from Banu Taym Allah does no harm, for it is known that he is Abu Umama Taymi, as preceded in the isnad before this one, and as narrated by the trustworthy narrators from Ala bin Musayab, which we will mention. Rather, it is Sufyan Thawri who left him unnamed, in our view, because we have not found anyone who followed him in this, and perhaps he simply forgot the man's name.The hadith was narrated by Tabari 2:165-166 from Husayn bin Yahya from Abdul-Razzaq from Thawri from Ala bin Musayab from a man of Banu Taym Allah, who said, "A man came to Abdullah bin Umar and said, 'O Abu Abdul-Rahman, we are people who hire out our mounts, and they claim that we have no hajj!' He said, 'Do you not enter ihram as they do, circle the Kaaba as they do, and cast stones as they do?' He said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Then you are a pilgrim. A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him what you have asked me, and this verse was revealed,' " "There is no sin upon you in seeking bounty from your Lord" [Baqarah 2:198].Ibn Kathir cited it in his tafsir 1:463-464 from Musannaf Abdul-Razzaq, with this wording. Its wording was only omitted here because Imam Ahmad referred the wording of this narration of Thawri to the narration of Asbat that preceded it, but we found that recording the wording of Thawri is not without benefit.Ibn Kathir said after Tabari's narration, "Abd bin Humayd narrated it in his tafsir from Abdul-Razzaq, with the same." Likewise Abu Huzaifa [meaning Musa bin Masud] narrated this hadith from Thawri as marfu.Abu Dawud narrated it 2:75 via Abdul-Wahid bin Ziyad, "Ala bin Musayab narrated to us, Abu Umama Taymi narrated to us," and he related it in similar wording.Hakim narrated it in Mustadrak 1:449 via Abdul-Wahid bin Ziyad, with the same, and said, "A hadith with a sahih isnad, though the two of them did not record it," and Dhahabi agreed with him.Bayhaqi narrated it in Sunan al-Kubra 4:333 from Hakim with this isnad of his.Wahidi narrated it in Asbab Nuzul (p. 41) via Isa bin Musawir from Marwan bin Muawiya Fazari from Ala bin Musayab from Abu Umama Taymi, with the same, as marfu.Ibn Kathir said after Thawri's narration, "It was likewise narrated by a route other than this one as marfu." He then cited it from Ibn Abu Hatim with his isnad via Abbad bin Awwam from Ala bin Musayab from Abu Umama Taymi, in similar wording, and then said, "Similarly, it was narrated by Masud bin Saad, Abdul-Wahid bin Ziyad, and Sharik Qadi, from Ala bin Musayab, with the same, as marfu."All of these narrated it from Ala from Abu Umama Taymi, and none of them left him unnamed as Sufyan Thawri left him unnamed.Shuba narrated it as mawquf. Tabari narrated it 2:164, "Hasan bin Arafah narrated to us, he said, Shababa bin Sawwar narrated to us, he said, Shuba narrated to us from Abu Umaya, who said, 'I heard Ibn Umar being asked about a man who performs hajj while having trade goods with him, and Ibn Umar recited,' " "There is no sin upon you in seeking bounty from your Lord" [Baqarah 2:198].Ibn Kathir cited it 1:463 from Tabari, then said, "This is mawquf, and it is strong and good." Shuba's narration, as you see, is abridged, while Ala bin Musayab narrated it in detail and at length, mentioning both the mawquf and the marfu versions. Ala is trustworthy and reliable, as noted previously at 1240 and 5702, so his addition is acceptable without hesitation.Suyuti mentioned the hadith in Durr Manthur 1:222 and, besides what we have mentioned, also attributed it to Saeed bin Mansur, Ibn Abu Shayba, and Ibn Munzir.
