Azami 6193

Tirmidhi (1655), Nasai (3120, 3218), Ibn Majah (2518), and Ahmad (7416) narrated it, and Ibn Hibban (4030) and Hakim (2/160) graded it sahih, all of them through the route of Ibn Ajlan, from Saeed bin Abu Saeed, from Abu Hurairah, who related it. Its chain is hasan because of Ibn Ajlan, who is hasan al-hadith. Tirmidhi also graded it hasan. As for Hakim, he graded it sahih according to the standard of Muslim, because he does not distinguish between primary narrations and corroborating ones, as is well known among students of knowledge.As for what is reported from Ayesha, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Marry women, for they bring wealth," the correct view is that it is a mursal (disconnected) narration. Bazzar narrated it in Kashf Astar (1402), and Hakim (2/16), both from the hadith of Salm bin Junada, from Abu Usama, from Hisham bin Urwa, from his father, from Ayesha, who related it. Hakim said, "Sahih according to the standard of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), though they did not include it because Salm bin Junada alone transmitted it with this chain, and Salm is trustworthy and reliable." Bazzar said, "More than one narrator related it as mursal, and we know of no one who said in it 'from Ayesha' except Abu Usama." The correct statement would have been to say, we know of no one who said in it 'from Ayesha' except Salm bin Junada, because the discrepancy occurred with Abu Usama. Salm bin Junada narrated it from him as connected (mawsul). This Salm has some issue in his memory. Rabi bin Nafi contradicted him, narrating from Abu Usama, from Hisham bin Urwa, from his father, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, and related the hadith. From this route, Abu Dawud (192) narrated it in his Marasil, as did Abu Bakr bin Abu Shayba (4/127). Rabi bin Nafi is trustworthy and authoritative, among the narrators of the two Shaykhs. For this reason, Daraqutni preferred the mursal version over the connected one, in his Ilal (15/61).It is also reported from Ibn Abbas, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Nothing has been seen better for two who love each other than marriage." Ibn Majah (1847), Hakim (2/160), and Bayhaqi (7/78) narrated it, all through the route of Muhammad bin Maslama Taifi, who said, Ibrahim bin Maysara narrated to us, from Tawus, from Ibn Abbas, who related it. Muhammad bin Maslama Taifi has some errors, and although he is among the narrators of Muslim, Hakim nevertheless said, "Sahih according to the standard of Muslim, though they did not include it, because Sufyan bin Uyayna and Muamar bin Rashid stopped it (as mawquf) at Ibrahim bin Maysara, on the authority of Ibn Abbas." I say, likewise, Ibn Jurayj also stopped it as mawquf, Bayhaqi narrated it through his route.As for the hadith of Sufyan, Aqeeli narrated it in the biography entry of Muhammad bin Muslim Taifi (4/134), through the route of Humaydi from him, who said, Ibrahim bin Maysara narrated to us, saying, I heard Tawus say, the Prophet ﷺ said, and related it. Aqeeli said, this is more likely to be correct. It has also been reported from Sufyan bin Uyayna with another chain as connected (mawsul), but it contains unknown narrators.
