Azami 11869

Tirmidhi narrated it (2954) from Muhammad bin Muthanna and Bundar, who said, Muhammad bin Jafar told us, Shuba told us, from Simak bin Harb, from Abbad bin Hubaysh, from Adi bin Hatim, and he mentioned it. Tirmidhi, Ahmad (19381), Ibn Hibban (7206), and Ibn Jareer (1/186) all narrated it, all from the hadith of Simak bin Harb with his chain, at length, and this is its wording.He said, I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was sitting in the masjid, and the people said, "This is Adi bin Hatim," and I had come without any guarantee of safety or written pledge. When I was brought before him, he took my hand. He had said before that, "I hope that Allah will place his hand in my hand."He said, then he stood up, and a woman met him with a child, and they said, "We have a need from you." So he stood with them until he had fulfilled their need. Then he took my hand until he brought me to his house. A young slave girl threw down a cushion for him, and he sat on it, and I sat before him. He praised Allah and extolled Him, then said,"What keeps you from saying, 'There is no god but Allah'? Do you know of any god besides Allah?" He said, I said, "No." He said, then he spoke for a while, then said, "You only flee from saying 'Allah is greatest' because you know of something greater than Allah?" He said, I said, "No."He said, "The Jews have incurred wrath, and the Christians have gone astray." He said, I said, "Then I have come as a Muslim." He said, then I saw his face brighten with joy. He said, then he gave orders concerning me, and I was lodged with a man from the Ansar. I began visiting him, coming to him at both ends of the day.He said, while I was with him one evening, some people came to him wearing woolen garments, these striped cloaks. He said, then he prayed, and stood and urged charity on their behalf, then said,"Even if it be a measure, or half a measure, even a handful or part of a handful, let each of you shield his face from the heat of Hell, or the Fire, even with a date, even with half a date. For each of you will meet Allah, and He will say to him what I am saying to you now, 'Did I not give you hearing and sight?' He will say, 'Yes.' He will say, 'Did I not give you wealth and children?' He will say, 'Yes.' He will say, 'What have you sent forth for yourself?' He will look ahead of him and behind him, and to his right and to his left, and he will find nothing with which to shield his face from the heat of Hell. So let each of you shield his face from the Fire, even with half a date, and if he finds nothing, then with a good word. I do not fear poverty for you, for Allah will support you and grant you provision until a woman traveling alone journeys between Yathrib and Hira, or further, fearing nothing for her mount except theft."He said, so I began to say to myself, "Then where are the thieves of Tayy?"Tirmidhi said, "This is a hasan gharib hadith, we do not know it except through the hadith of Simak bin Harb."I say, in its chain is Abbad bin Hubaysh, from whom no one narrated except Simak bin Harb, and no one deemed him reliable except Ibn Hibban. Hence Hafiz Ibn Hajar said in Taqrib, "Acceptable," meaning when corroborated.Marri bin Qatari corroborated him, from Adi bin Hatim, who said, I asked the Prophet ﷺ about the words of Allah , "other than those who have incurred wrath" [Fatihah 1:7]. He said, "They are the Jews." Ibn Jareer narrated it through Muhammad bin Musab, from Hammad bin Salama, from Simak bin Harb, from Marri bin Qatari. Marri bin Qatari was deemed reliable by Ibn Main, as in the narration of Darimi from him. The hadith has other chains, but what I have mentioned is the most sahih of them.Hence Hafiz bin Kathir said, "This hadith of Adi has been narrated through multiple chains, and it has many wordings that would take long to mention."Something similar has been narrated from a group of the Companions and the Successors, that "those who have incurred wrath" [Fatihah 1:7] are the Jews, and "nor those who are astray" [Fatihah 1:7] are the Christians.Ibn Abu Hatim said in his Tafsir, "I do not know of any disagreement among the commentators on this."This is because Allah decreed wrath upon the Jews in His saying, "those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He became angry" [Maidah 5:60], and He decreed straying upon the Christians in His saying, "and do not follow the vain desires of a people who went astray before" [Maidah 5:77].
