Azami 11652

Muslim narrated it in the Book of Greetings (2231) through several chains from Yaala bin Ata, from Amr bin Shareed, from his father, and he mentioned it.As for what is narrated from Ibn Abbas that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not stare continuously at lepers," it is not sahih. Ibn Majah (3543), Ahmad (2075), and Bayhaqi (7/219) all narrated it through Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Amr bin Uthman, from his mother Fatimah bint Husayn, from Ibn Abbas, and he mentioned it.Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Amr bin Uthman the Umayyad, known as "Dibaj" for his handsomeness, Bukhari said of him in his book on weak narrators, "He has strange narrations," and said in Awsat, "His hadith can hardly be corroborated," and Ibn Jarud said the same. Nasai said once, "Trustworthy," and said another time, "Not strong." Moreover, he was inconsistent in his chain. Sometimes he narrated it this way, and sometimes he narrated it from his mother Fatimah bint Husayn, from her father, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said, "Do not stare continuously at lepers, and if you speak with them, let there be the length of a spear between you and them."Abdullah bin Ahmad narrated this in the additions to the Musnad (581) from Abu Ibrahim Tarjumani, who said, Faraj bin Fadala narrated to us, from Abdullah bin Amir, from Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Amr bin Uthman, from his mother Fatimah bint Husayn, and he mentioned it. A distortion occurred in the chain, and we have established the correct version from the footnotes of the editors of the Musnad. Faraj bin Fadala is daif according to the majority of scholars, and his teacher Abdullah bin Amir Aslami is daif, Abu Hatim said he is discarded (matruk). It has also been said that this is from the Musnad of Fatimah, daughter of the Prophet ﷺ.There is another route from Ibn Abbas, narrated by Tabarani (11/106–107) from Yahya bin Uthman bin Salih, who said, my father narrated to us, who said, Ibn Lahia narrated to us, from Amr bin Dinar, from Ibn Abbas, similarly. Abdullah bin Lahia has well-known criticism against him, and the one who narrated from him, Uthman bin Salih, is not reliable either. Bardhai said, I said to Abu Zura, I saw in Egypt about a hundred hadiths narrated by Uthman bin Salih, from Ibn Lahia, from Amr bin Dinar and Ata, from Ibn Abbas, from the Prophet ﷺ, among them, "Do not honor your brother with what burdens him." He said, "I did not consider Uthman among those who lie, but he used to write hadith together with Khalid bin Najih, and Khalid, when they had heard from a shaykh, would dictate to them things they had not heard, and they accepted it from him." End quote, from Asilat Bardhai (p. 418).I say, this Khalid bin Najih used to fabricate hadiths and insert them into people's books.Likewise, what is narrated from Muaz bin Jabal as a marfu narration, "Do not stare continuously at lepers," is not sahih. Tabarani narrated it in Awsat (9259) and in Kabir (11/112) from Walid bin Hammad Ramli, who said, Sulayman bin Abdul-Rahman Dimashqi narrated to us, who said, Sadan bin Yahya narrated to us, from Abdul-Hameed bin Jafar, from Salih bin Abu Urayb, from Kathir bin Mura, from Muaz bin Jabal, and he mentioned it. He said, "This hadith is not narrated from Muaz except through this chain, Sulayman bin Abdul-Rahman narrated it alone." End quote.Haythami said in Majma (5/101), "Tabarani narrated it... from his teacher Walid bin Hammad Ramli, whom I do not know, and the rest of its narrators are trustworthy." End quote.I say, Ibn Hajar gave him a biographical entry in Lisan, but did not mention any criticism or endorsement of him. In its chain is Salih bin Abu Urayb, whose name was Qulayb, Hadrami, from whom more than one narrator transmitted, but no one declared him trustworthy except that Ibn Hibban mentioned him among the trustworthy narrators. That is why the Hafiz said in Taqrib, "Acceptable," meaning when corroborated, otherwise his hadith is weak, and I have not found any corroboration for him.As for what is narrated from Jabir, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the hand of a leper and brought him with him into the bowl, then said, "Eat in the name of Allah, trusting in Allah and relying upon Him," this is daif. Abu Dawud (3925), Tirmidhi (1817), and Ibn Majah (3542) narrated it, and Ibn Hibban (6120) and Hakim (4/136–137) graded it sahih, all of them through several chains from Yunus bin Muhammad, who said, Mufaddal bin Fadala narrated to us, from Habib bin Shaheed, from Muhammad bin Munkadir, from Jabir bin Abdullah, and he mentioned it.Its chain is daif because of Mufaddal bin Fadala. Ibn Adi, after citing this hadith in his biographical entry from Kamil (6/2404), said, "I have not seen in his narrations anything more objectionable than this hadith." End quote.Tirmidhi said, "This is a gharib hadith, we do not know it except through the narration of Yunus bin Muhammad, from Mufaddal bin Fadala, and this Mufaddal bin Fadala is a Basran shaykh... Shuba narrated this hadith from Habib bin Shaheed, from Ibn Burayda, that Umar took the hand of a leper, and Shuba's narration is more fitting and more sahih in my view." End quote. He mentioned similarly from Bukhari in Ilal al-Kabir (2/770).I say, Tirmidhi's statement "more sahih" means that Shuba's narration is more sahih than Mufaddal's narration, but even so, Shuba's narration contains a disconnection between Abdullah bin Burayda and Umar. Abu Zura said, "Abdullah bin Burayda's narration from Umar is mursal." Marasil by Ibn Abu Hatim (111).
