Azami 14874

Malik narrated it in the chapter on seeking permission (23), from Yahya bin Saeed Ansari, as mentioned. This is a mursal narration, for Yahya bin Saeed Ansari belongs to the junior generation of the Tabiin, and it has been established that he heard from Anas bin Malik. Something similar has been narrated from Anas with a connected chain. Abu Dawud (3924), Bukhari in Adab al-Mufrad (918), Bayhaqi (8/140), and Diya in Mukhtara (1529) all narrated it through various chains from Ikrima bin Ammar, from Ishaq bin Abdullah bin Abu Talha, from Anas bin Malik, who said, a man said, "O Messenger of Allah, we used to live in a house where our numbers were many and our wealth was abundant, then we moved to another house where our numbers became few and our wealth diminished." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave it, for it is blameworthy." Bukhari commented afterward, "There is something questionable in its chain." The likely reason is what has been said about Ikrima bin Ammar, and he narrated it alone. Bazzar (6427) commented after mentioning this hadith, "We do not know of this hadith being narrated from Anas except through this route with this chain." End of quote.There is another mursal route narrated by Abdul-Razzaq (19526), and through his route Bayhaqi (8/140), from Mamar, who said, from Zuhri, from Abdullah bin Harith bin Nawfal, from Abdullah bin Shaddad bin Had, that a woman from the Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah, we no sooner settled into our house, when we were numerous, than we began to perish, and the good relations between us turned bad, so our characters worsened, and our wealth was abundant, then we became poor." He said, "Why don't you move away from it, since it is blameworthy?" She said, "What should we do with it, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Sell it or give it away." Bayhaqi commented afterward, "This is mursal."This has also been narrated with a connected chain. Bazzar (in Kashf Astar, 3051) narrated it through the route of Salih bin Abu Akhdar, from Zuhri, from Salim, from his father, as mentioned. Bazzar commented afterward, "In my view, Salih erred in this. Zuhri actually narrates it from Abdullah bin Abdullah bin Harith, from Abdullah bin Shaddad, as a mursal narration." End of quote.In summary, the mursal narration of Yahya bin Saeed is strengthened by the mursal narration of Abdullah bin Shaddad, since their sources differ. Khattabi said, "It is possible that he only commanded them to abandon the house and move away from it in order to dispel what had settled in their minds, namely that the misfortune had befallen them specifically because of the house and living in it. So when they moved away from it, the source of that illusion was cut off, and the doubt that had taken hold of them regarding it was removed. And Allah knows best."Something with a similar meaning has also been narrated from Sahl bin Haritha Ansari, but it is not sound. Likewise, what has been narrated from Farwa bin Musayk Muradi is not sound either. He said, "I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, there is a land near us called the land of Abyan, it is our farmland and the source of our provisions, but it is plague-ridden,' or he said, 'it has severe disease in it.'" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave it be, for exposure to disease can lead to destruction."Abu Dawud (3923) and Ahmad (15742) narrated it through the route of Abdul-Razzaq, and it is found in his Musannaf (20163), where he said, Mamar informed us, from Yahya bin Abdullah bin Buhayr, who said, someone who heard Farwa bin Musayk Muradi informed me, and he said as mentioned. Its chain is daif because the man who heard from Farwa bin Musayk is unidentified, and Yahya bin Abdullah bin Bukhayr is of unclear reliability.Regarding his saying, "Abyan," it follows the pattern of "Ahmar," and it is a village on the coast in the direction of Yemen. It has also been said that it is the name of the city of Aden. Regarding his saying, "the land of our farmland," this refers to land that has crops and fertility. Regarding his saying, "our provisions," it is connected to "our farmland," meaning our food that is brought or transported from one land to another. Regarding his saying, "exposure," it means direct contact with disease and proximity to illness, and "destruction" means ruin. The meaning is that from contact with disease and proximity to plague comes the destruction of a person, so entering a land that has plague and disease in it is not fitting.Khattabi said, "This is not a matter of contagion, but rather a matter of medicine, for improving the air is among the most helpful things for bodily health, while corrupted air is among the most harmful and swiftest causes of bodily sickness according to physicians. All of this occurs by Allah's permission and will, He has no partner, and there is no power or strength except through Him."
