Azami 12135

Nasai recorded it in Kubra (11029), and Ibn Abu Hatim in his Tafsir (3/902), both by way of Muhammad bin Fudayl, who related from Yahya bin Saeed Ansari, from Muhammad bin Abu Umama, from his father, who said, then he mentioned it. Abu Umama's name was Asad bin Sahl bin Hunayf, and he was two years old when the Prophet ﷺ died, so this is among the mursal narrations of the companions, which are a valid proof. Its chain is hasan because of Muhammad bin Fudayl bin Ghazwan Dabbi, whose narrations are hasan. Ibn Hajar also graded it hasan in Fath al-Bari (8/147), though Daraqutni found fault with it, saying, "Ibn Fudayl narrates it from Yahya bin Saeed, from Muhammad bin Abu Umama, from his father. But someone other than Ibn Fudayl narrates it from Yahya, from Muhammad bin Abu Umama, in mursal form, without mentioning his father. That is more sahih." End of quote, from Ilal (2694). Muhammad bin Fudayl was declared trustworthy by Ibn Main, Ali bin Madini, and others, so his being alone in narrating it does not harm it, and there is nothing objectionable in his narration, rather it has supporting evidence.Abu Qays bin Aslat was an Ansari from Banu Waail. It was said his name was Sayfi, and it was also said Harith, and it was also said Abdullah. There is disagreement over whether he was a companion. Abu Ubayd Qasim bin Salam, in the biography of his son Uqba bin Abu Qays, said, "Both he and his father were companions." Ibn Ishaq and Zubayr bin Bakkar mentioned him among the companions, and Ibn Hajar relied on this, mentioning him in the first section of Isabah (10522). Ibn Abdul-Barr said, "There is doubt about his conversion to Islam." I say, the one who affirms takes precedence over the one who denies.Ibn Abu Qays was Uqba bin Abu Qays bin Aslat, who accepted Islam and was martyred at Qadisiyyah, and he was among the companions. Abu Qays's wife was Kabsha bint Maen bin Aasim Ansari.As for His saying, "But perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good" [Nisa 4:19]
