Azami 392

Reported by Hakim (1/497), from Abu Abdullah Saffar, who said, "Abu Bakr bin Abu Dunya told us, Bishr bin Walid the judge told us, Amir bin Yasaf told us, from Hafs bin Umar bin Abdullah bin Abu Talha Ansari, who said, Anas bin Malik told me," and he related it. Hakim graded it sahih, but Dhahabi challenged this, saying, "Amir has some munkar narrations." I say, in this he was following Ibn Adi, who said, "He narrates munkar hadiths from trustworthy narrators," then said, "Yet despite his weakness, his hadith is recorded." This latter view is the correct one, for Ibn Hajar relates in Lisan Mizan, from Abu Dawud, that he said, "There is no harm in him, he is a righteous man." Ajli said, "His hadith is recorded, though there is some weakness in him." Dauri reported from Ibn Main, "Trustworthy." And Ibn Hibban listed him among the trustworthy narrators. End of quote. A narrator like this makes his hadith hasan, especially as corroborating support.This hadith has other pathways, though they are daif. Among them is what Abdul-Razzaq related (19648), and from his route Baghawi in Sharh al-Sunnah (1386), from Mamar, from Aban, from Anas, relating the hadith with this wording, "Indeed your Lord is Modest and Generous. He is too Modest, when a servant raises his hands to Him, to send them back empty, until He places something good in them." Aban here is Ibn Abu Ayyash Firoz Basri, and the majority of scholars have judged him daif. Indeed, Imam Ahmad, Nasai, and Daraqutni said of him, "His hadith is to be abandoned."On this subject there is also a report from Jabir bin Abdullah with similar wording. Abu Yaala related it (1867), from Ubaydullah bin Muaz, who said, "My father mentioned, from Yusuf bin Muhammad bin Munkadir, from his father, from Jabir bin Abdullah," relating the hadith. Ibn Adi also related it through this same route in Kamil (7/2613), and said, "Ubaydullah said, I did not hear it from my father." He also said, "I heard Ibn Hammad say, Yusuf bin Muhammad bin Munkadir's hadith is to be abandoned, I think he attributed this to Nasai." End of quote.I say, most scholars have judged this Yusuf bin Muhammad bin Munkadir as daif, though Abu Zura held a favorable opinion of him, saying, "He is sound." This is indeed correct, but he was careless in memorizing hadith, and for that reason he was judged daif. Moreover, there is a break in the chain, since Ubaydullah bin Muaz himself said, "I did not hear it from my father."On this subject there is also a report from Ibn Umar, related by Tabarani in Kabir (12/423), which includes Jarud bin Yazid, who is accused of fabrication, and Haythami faulted the chain for this reason in Majma (10/169).There is also a report from Ali bin Abu Talib, which includes Yahya bin Anbasah, who is daif. Daraqutni related it through his route in Gharaib wal-Afrad, and to him Muttaqi Hindi attributed it in Kanz Ummal (2/87).
