Azami 10781

It was narrated by Tirmidhi (3510), Ahmad (12523), Ibn Hibban in Majruhin (2/261), and Ibn Adi in Kamil (6/2147), all of them through Muhammad bin Thabit Bunani, from his father, from Anas bin Malik, who related it. Tirmidhi said, "This is a hasan gharib hadith by this route, from the hadith of Thabit from Anas." However, it contains Muhammad bin Thabit Bunani, who is daif, though he was not accused of dishonesty, and Abu Zura said of him, "Lenient in transmission."But the hadith has been narrated through another chain, related by Abu Naeem in Hilya (6/268), from Habib bin Hasan, who said, Yusuf al-Qadi told us, who said, Muhammad bin Abu Bakr told us, who said, Zaida bin Abu Raqad told us, who said, Ziyad bin Abdullah Numayri told us, from Anas bin Malik, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said, "When you pass by the meadows of Paradise, graze there." They said, "Messenger of Allah, how can we have meadows of Paradise in this world?" He said, "The circles of remembrance."Zaida bin Abu Raqad, with the ra vowelled with damma followed by qaf, Abu Muaz Basri Sayrafi, is a figure of disputed reliability. The majority of scholars have criticized him, but Bazzar said, "There is no harm in him," and Ibn Hibban said, "He relates unfamiliar reports from well-known narrators. His reports cannot be relied upon as proof, and are only written down for consideration." A narrator of this sort, when he does not bring something objectionable, is accepted in corroborating narrations, and through this the chain becomes hasan.Ziyad bin Abdullah Numayri was an ascetic devoted to worship, criticized by more than one scholar, but there is no harm in him either when it comes to corroborating narrations, since no one accused him of dishonesty. Abu Hatim said, "His hadith is written down, but not relied upon as proof."Through these two chains, the hadith becomes hasan according to Tirmidhi's standard, and some of its individual parts have firm and sahih foundations.Along similar lines is what has been narrated from Abu Hurairah, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you pass by the meadows of Paradise, graze there." I said, "Messenger of Allah, what are the meadows of Paradise?" He said, "The mosques." I said, "And what is the grazing, Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Subhan Allah, wal-hamdu lillah, wa la ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar."This was narrated by Tirmidhi (3509) and Bazzar (9311), both through Zayd bin Hubab, that Humayd Makki, the freedman of Ibn Alqama, told him that Ata bin Abu Rabah told him, from Abu Hurairah, who related it. The wording is Tirmidhi's. Tirmidhi said, "This is a gharib hadith." Bazzar said, "We do not know of this hadith being narrated from Abu Hurairah except through this chain, and we do not know of Humayd, the freedman of the Banu Alqama, being narrated from by anyone except Zayd bin Hubab."Bukhari said, "Zayd narrated from him three hadiths in which he claimed to have heard from Ata, but he is not corroborated." Daraqutni likewise judged him to be unknown, as mentioned in Suwalat Barqani.
