Azami 14980

It was narrated by Imam Ahmad (15838), and the wording here is his, by Tirmidhi (3154), by Ibn Majah (4203), and by Ibn Hibban (404), all of them through various routes from Muhammad bin Bakr Bursani, who said, Abdul-Hameed bin Jafar informed us, my father informed me, from Ziyad bin Minaa, from Abu Saad bin Abu Fadala Ansari, who said, and then he mentioned it.Its chain is hasan because of Ziyad bin Minaa, from whom more than one person transmitted, and no one criticized him. He belongs to the generation of the Tabiin, and there is nothing objectionable in his hadith. Someone like him has his hadith graded hasan when it has a firm basis, and this is one such case.Ali bin Madini said about the hadith of Ziyad bin Minaa, from Abu Saad bin Abu Fadala, "Its chain is sound, and the heart accepts it, while there are chains the heart rejects. Ziyad bin Minaa is unknown to me, I do not know him."This is as he said, and "unknown" here means that little is transmitted from him. Abu Abdul-Hameed is Jafar bin Abdullah bin Hakam Ansari, whom Nasai deemed reliable, and whom Ibn Hibban mentioned among the trustworthy narrators.The companion is Abu Saad bin Abu Fadala Ansari, also called Abu Saeed bin Fadala. Ibn Saad mentioned him among those present at the Battle of the Trench, and he has a single hadith recorded in the six books.
