Azami 5686

Bayhaqi reported it in Shuab al-Iman (4507) from Abu Abdullah Hafiz, [who said], Mukarram bin Ahmad bin Mukarram Qadi told me, Abu Abbas Ahmad bin Saeed Jammal told us, Abdullah bin Bakr Sahmi told us, Hatim bin Abu Saghira told us, from Amr bin Dinar, from Bara, and he mentioned it. Its chain is hasan because of Abu Abbas Ahmad bin Saeed Jammal, for he is hasan al-hadith. Khatib wrote a biographical entry for him in his history (4/170) and said, "He was trustworthy and hasan al-hadith." He died in the year 278 AH. As for Hatim bin Abu Saghira, Abu Saghira's given name was Muslim, and he was his maternal grandfather, though it has also been said he was his mother's husband.Similar in meaning is what was reported from Ismail bin Ubayd bin Rifaa, from his father, from his grandfather, who said, We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to the prayer ground, and he saw people buying and selling, so he said, "O company of merchants." They responded to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, raising their necks and their eyes toward him, and he said, "The merchants will be raised on the Day of Resurrection as wrongdoers, except one who fears Allah, deals honestly, and speaks truthfully."Tirmidhi (1210) reported it, as did Ibn Majah (2146) and Darimi (2580), and Ibn Hibban (4910) and Hakim (6/2) graded it sahih, all of them from the hadith of Abdullah bin Uthman bin Khuthaym, from Ismail bin Ubayd bin Rifaa with his chain, and he mentioned it. Tirmidhi said, "hasan sahih." Hakim said, "sahih in chain."I say, however, it contains Ismail bin Ubayd bin Rifaa, from whom no one narrated except Ibn Khuthaym, as Bukhari stated in his Tarikh, and no one deemed him trustworthy. Ibn Hibban merely mentioned him among his trustworthy narrators (28/6), and for this reason Hafiz said of him, "acceptable," meaning when corroborated, but I found no corroborating narration. What has preceded, however, serves as a supporting witness for it.Also on this subject is what was reported from Abu Saeed, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said, "The truthful, trustworthy merchant will be with the prophets, the truthful ones, and the martyrs." Tirmidhi (1209) reported it, as did Daraqutni (2813), Darimi (2851), and Hakim (6/2), all of them by way of Sufyan, from Abu Hamza, from Hasan, from Abu Saeed, and he mentioned it. Tirmidhi said, "A hasan hadith, we do not know it except from this route, from the hadith of Thawri, from Abu Hamza, and Abu Hamza's given name was Abdullah bin Jabir, and he was a shaykh from Basra."I say, Hasan, that is, Hasan Basri, engaged frequently in tadlis and irsal, and Ali bin Madini mentioned that Abu Saeed Khudri was among those from whom Hasan did not hear directly, so there is a disconnection in the chain.Also on this subject is what was reported from Ibn Umar, who said, The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The trustworthy, truthful Muslim merchant will be with the martyrs on the Day of Resurrection." Ibn Majah (2139) reported it, as did Daraqutni (2812) and Hakim (6/2), all of them from the hadith of Kulthum bin Jawshan Qushayri, from Ayub, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, and he mentioned it.Ibn Abu Hatim (1156) said, I asked my father about this hadith, and he said, "This hadith has no basis, and Kulthum is daif al-hadith."I say, Kulthum bin Jawshan is disputed. Bukhari deemed him trustworthy, and Ibn Main said, "There is no harm in him." Abu Dawud declared him daif, saying, "His hadith is objectionable." Ibn Hibban mentioned him among the trustworthy narrators, then included him again among the discredited ones, saying, "He is among those who narrate reversed reports from trustworthy narrators, and fabricated reports from reliable ones." So the predominant judgment on his hadith is weakness, and Hafiz said of him, "daif."
