Azami 527

Reported by Abu Dawud (2554), Ahmad (26780), and Ibn Hibban (4705), all through the hadith of Nafi, from Salim, from Abu Jarrah the freedman of Umm Habiba, from Umm Habiba, and he related it. Its chain is hasan because of Abu Jarrah. It has been said that his name was Zubayr. Ibn Hibban mentioned him in Thiqat (5/56), and Ajli said, "A Madinan follower of the successors generation, trustworthy." A man like this, his hadith is deemed hasan if it has a supporting basis, and this hadith has one.Similar in meaning is what has been reported from Ibn Umar, that the Prophet ﷺ said, "The angels do not accompany a group of riders among whom there is a bell. How much of a bell do you see with these people." Reported by Nasai (5219, 5220, 5221) through various routes from Nafi bin Umar Jumahi, from Abu Bakr bin Abu Shaykh, who said, "I was sitting with Salim when a group of riders belonging to Umm Banin passed by us, with them were bells. Salim then narrated to Nafi from his father," and he related it. It is also found in Musnad Imam Ahmad (4811) through this same route. In it is Abu Bakr bin Abu Shaykh, also called Bukayr bin Musa Sahmi. Dhahabi said in Mizan, "He is not known." I say, Nafi bin Umar Jumahi alone narrated from him, and Ibn Hibban did not mention him in his Thiqat, and Hafiz said of him, "Acceptable."Ibn Adi also reported it in Kamil (5/1871) through another route from Abdullah bin Nafi, who said, Asim bin Umar informed me, from Abdullah bin Dinar, from Ibn Umar, and he related the hadith. Asim here is Ibn Umar bin Hafs bin Asim bin Umar bin Khattab, and he is daif.Likewise, what has been reported from Banana, the freedwoman of Abdul-Rahman bin Hassan Ansari, from Ayesha is not sound. She said, "While she was with her, a girl was brought in to her wearing bells that were making sound. She said, 'Do not bring her in to me unless you cut off her bells.'" She said, I heard the Messenger of Allah say, "The angels do not enter a house in which there is a bell." Reported by Abu Dawud (4231) from Muhammad bin Abdul-Rahim, who said, Rawh narrated to us, Ibn Jurayj narrated to us, from Banana the freedwoman of Abdul-Rahman bin Hassan, and she related it. Imam Ahmad (26052) also reported it from Rawh through the same route, and he added after her words "cut off her bells" the following, "So she cut off her bells, and Banana asked her about that." Munziri said of Banana the freedwoman of Abdul-Rahman, "Unknown."Also on this subject is what has come from Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet, who said, I heard the Messenger of Allah say, "The angels do not enter a house in which there is a small bell or a large bell, nor do the angels accompany a company of travelers among whom there is a bell." Reported by Nasai (5222) from Yusuf bin Saeed bin Muslim, Hajjaj narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj, who said, Sulayman bin Babih, the freedman of the family of Nawfal, informed me, from Umm Salama, and he related it. Sulayman bin Babih, also said to be Baba, is unknown. No one narrated from him except Ibn Jurayj, and no one deemed him trustworthy except that Ibn Hibban mentioned him in his Thiqat, following his usual practice.The word "rifqa," with the ra either pronounced with damma or kasra, means the group of companions traveling together. The word "juljul," with damma on the jim, whose plural is "jalajil," refers to the bell that is placed around the neck of a riding animal. It is also used for the ornament a woman wears on her legs, from which a sound comes out when she walks.
