Azami 10846

It was narrated by Tirmidhi (3581), Nasai in Amal al-Yawm wal-Layla (355), Ahmad (15480), and Bazzar in Kashf Astar (3085), and Hakim (4/290), all of them through the hadith of Wahb bin Jareer, who said, my father narrated to us, saying, I heard Mansur bin Zazan narrating from Maymun bin Abu Shabib, from Qays bin Saad bin Ubada, and he mentioned it. Its chain is hasan because of Maymun bin Abu Shabib, for he is hasan in his hadith. Tirmidhi said, "This is a hasan sahih hadith, gharib from this angle." Hakim said, "This is a sahih hadith according to the standard of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim)."As for the statement of Ibn Hajar in Mukhtasar Zawaid Bazzar (2/405) that Maymun bin Abu Shabib did not hear from Qays bin Saad bin Ubada, I found no predecessor for him in this claim, and Ibn Hajar himself did not mention it in Tahdhib al-Tahdhib. Moreover, there are roughly twenty-three years between their deaths, so they were contemporaries.Similar in meaning is what was reported from Hazim bin Harmala, who said, I passed by the Prophet ﷺ and he said to me, "Hazim, say frequently, there is no power and no strength except through Allah, for it is one of the treasures of Paradise."This was narrated by Ibn Majah (3826) and Tabarani in Kabir (4/37-38), both through the route of Muhammad bin Maen, who said, Khalid bin Saeed narrated to us, from Abu Zaynab, the freed slave of Hazim bin Harmala, from Hazim bin Harmala, who mentioned it. Abu Zaynab, the freed slave of Hazim bin Harmala, is unknown, and Khalid bin Saeed is Ibn Abu Maryam Qurashi, of whom Ibn Madini said, "We do not know him." Aqeeli mentioned him among the daif narrators and said, "He is not corroborated in his hadith." Ibn Hibban mentioned him among his trustworthy narrators, following his usual practice of deeming trustworthy anyone in whom no defect has been identified.It was also reported from Abu Ayub Ansari that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, on the night he was taken on the Night Journey, passed by Ibrahim, who asked, "Who is with you, Jibreel?" He said, "This is Muhammad." Ibrahim said to him, "Tell your nation to plant abundantly in Paradise, for its soil is good and its land is spacious." He asked, "And what is the planting of Paradise?" He said, "There is no power and no strength except through Allah."This was narrated by Ahmad (23552), and Ibn Hibban (821) graded it sahih, both of them through the hadith of Abu Abdul-Rahman Muqri, who said, Haywa bin Shurayh narrated to us, Abu Sakhr informed me, that Abdullah bin Abdul-Rahman bin Abdullah bin Umar informed him, from Salim bin Abdullah, who said, Abu Ayub Ansari narrated to me, and he mentioned it.Munziri said in Targhib wa Tarhib (2461), "Ahmad narrated it with a hasan chain." Ibn Hajar said in Nataij Afkar (1/103), "This is a hasan hadith." I say, in its chain is Abdullah bin Abdul-Rahman bin Abdullah bin Umar, from whom no one narrated except Abu Sakhr Humayd bin Ziyad, as Ibn Hibban stated in his book on trustworthy narrators, and he is among the men of Taajil. So the statement of Haythami in Majmaa (10/97), "He is trustworthy, no one has spoken against him, and Ibn Hibban deemed him trustworthy," reflects some laxity on his part, since Ibn Hibban is also known to be lenient in his assessments of trustworthiness.Similar in meaning is what was reported from Ibn Masud, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I met Ibrahim on the night I was taken on the Night Journey, and he said, Muhammad, convey my greetings of peace to your nation, and inform them that Paradise has good soil and sweet water, that it is a bare plain, and that its planting consists of, glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, and Allah is greatest."This was narrated by Tirmidhi (3462) and Bazzar (1991-1992), both through routes from Abdul-Rahman bin Ishaq, from Qasim bin Abdul-Rahman, from his father, from Ibn Masud, and he mentioned it. Tirmidhi said, "This is a hasan hadith, gharib from this angle, from the hadith of Ibn Masud."Ibn Hajar said in Nataij Afkar (1/102), "He graded it hasan, meaning Tirmidhi, because of its corroborating evidence, and that is why he qualified it as gharib. Otherwise, they have judged Abdul-Rahman bin Ishaq daif, and he is Abu Shayba Wasiti." I say, Ahmad judged him daif, saying, "He is nothing, munkar al-hadith," and Ibn Main, Abu Hatim, Ibn Hibban and others judged him daif as well.As for what was reported from Abdullah bin Amr bin As, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Praise is the head of gratitude, no servant is grateful to Allah who does not praise Him," its chain is daif.This was narrated by Bayhaqi in Shuab (4085) through the route of Abdul-Razzaq, and it is in his Musannaf (19574), Maamar informed us, from Qatada, that Abdullah bin Amr said, and he mentioned it. Its chain is daif because of the interruption between Qatada and Abdullah bin Amr bin As, for Qatada did not hear from Abdullah bin Amr bin As, as the imams of hadith have explicitly stated.
