Azami 6207

Ibn Hibban narrated it in his Sahih (4032) from Muhammad bin Ishaq bin Ibrahim, the freedman of Thaqif, who said, Muhammad bin Abdul-Aziz bin Abu Rizqa told us, who said, Fadl bin Musa told us, from Abdullah bin Saeed bin Abu Hind, from Ismail bin Muhammad bin Saad, from his father, from his grandfather, and he related it. Its chain of transmission is sahih.It has also been narrated through daif chains, with variation in the wording. Among these is what Abu Dawud Tayalisi (207), Ahmad (1445), and Bazzar in Kashf Astar (1412) narrated, all from the hadith of Muhammad bin Abu Humayd Ansari, who said, Ismail bin Muhammad bin Saad bin Abu Waqqas told me, with his chain, in this wording, "There is happiness for the son of Adam in three things, and there is misery for the son of Adam in three things. Among the happiness of the son of Adam are a righteous wife, a good mount, and a spacious dwelling," or he said, "a good dwelling," "and the misery of the son of Adam is in three things, a bad dwelling, a bad wife, and a bad mount."Muhammad bin Abu Humayd Ibrahim Ansari Zurqi is daif by the agreement of the scholars. Bazzar said, "We do not know of it being narrated as a raised hadith except through this route, from Saad, and Muhammad bin Abu Humayd is not strong, though a group of scholars have narrated from him." I say, this is questionable, because it was also narrated by Abdullah bin Saeed bin Abu Hind, from Ismail bin Muhammad bin Saad, as mentioned before, in fuller form than this.Likewise, Haythami's statement in Majma (4/272), "Ahmad, Bazzar, and Tabarani narrated it in Kabir and Awsat, and the men of Ahmad's narration are the men of the Sahih," is not correct, for the men of Ahmad's narration and the men of Bazzar's narration are the same, and in both their chains is Muhammad bin Abu Humayd Zurqi, who is not among the men of the Sahih but rather among the men of Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah.The hadith has other chains as well.As for what is narrated from Abu Hurairah, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When someone whose religion and character you approve of proposes marriage to you, then marry him to her. If you do not do so, there will be turmoil on earth and widespread corruption," this is daif. It was narrated by Tirmidhi (1084), Ibn Majah (1967), and Hakim (2/164), all from the hadith of Abdul-Hameed bin Sulayman, from Ibn Ajlan, from Ibn Wathima Nasri, from Abu Hurairah, and he related it.Abdul-Hameed bin Sulayman is Khuzai Darir, and he is daif. For this reason, Dhahabi criticized Hakim's statement that its chain was sahih, saying, Abdul-Hameed is the brother of Fulayh. Abu Dawud said, "He was not reliable, and Ibn Wathima is unknown."Tirmidhi said, "Regarding the hadith of Abu Hurairah, Abdul-Hameed bin Sulayman has been contradicted in this hadith. Layth bin Saad narrated it, from Ibn Ajlan, from Ibn Hurmuz, from the Prophet ﷺ as a mursal narration" (and in Tirmidhi's text, "Ibn Hurmuz" was corrupted to "Abu Hurairah"). He said, Muhammad, meaning Bukhari, said, "The hadith of Layth is more likely to be correct, and he did not consider the hadith of Abdul-Hameed to be preserved."It is related in Ilal (1/426) that he said, I asked Muhammad about this hadith, and he said, "Layth bin Saad narrated it, from Ibn Ajlan, from Abdullah bin Hurmuz, from the Prophet ﷺ as a mursal narration."I say, this is how Abu Dawud narrated it in his Marasil (213), from Qutayba, who said, Layth told us, from Ibn Ajlan, from Abdullah bin Hurmuz Yamami, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, and he related it in meaning, and the people referred the matter back to him and he rejected it three times.Abu Dawud said, "Abdul-Hameed bin Sulayman connected its chain of transmission, from Ibn Ajlan, and that is an error."As for Ibn Wathima, he is Zafar bin Wathima bin Malik bin Hadathan, and his hadith is hasan. Ibn Main deemed him reliable, and Ibn Hibban mentioned him. Ibn Hurmuz has another chain as well, which is what Tirmidhi (1085), Abu Dawud in Marasil (212), and Bayhaqi (7/82) narrated, all from the hadith of Hatim bin Ismail, from Ibn Hurmuz, meaning Abdullah bin Hurmuz Fadaki, from Saeed and Muhammad, the two sons of Ubayd, from Abu Hatim Muzani, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When someone whose religion and character you approve of comes to you, then marry your daughter to him. If you do not do so, there will be turmoil on earth and great corruption." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, even if he is poor?" He said, "When someone whose religion and character you approve of comes to you, then marry your daughter to him," three times.Tirmidhi said, "This is a hasan gharib hadith, and Abu Hatim Muzani was a companion, and we do not know of any hadith from him from the Prophet ﷺ other than this one." This full wording is Tirmidhi's, and the others abridged it.Tirmidhi's designation of it as "hasan" is not correct, because of the weakness of Abdullah bin Hurmuz, and his two teachers Saeed and Muhammad, the sons of Ubayd, are both unknown. There is also disagreement about whether Abu Hatim Muzani was a companion or not. Bukhari and others said he was a companion, while Abu Dawud said he was not a companion, making the hadith mursal.The hadith of Abu Hurairah has other routes and corroborating narrations as well, but all of them are defective.Likewise, what is narrated from Ali bin Abu Talib, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Ali, three things should not be delayed, prayer when its time comes, the funeral when it is ready, and a widow or divorced woman when a suitable match is found for her," is not sound. It was narrated by Tirmidhi (1075), Ibn Majah (1486), Ahmad (828), and Bayhaqi (7/132–133), all from the hadith of Abdullah bin Wahb, who said, Saeed bin Abdullah Juhani told me, that Muhammad bin Umar bin Ali bin Abu Talib told him, from his father, from his grandfather Ali bin Abu Talib, and he related it. This wording is Tirmidhi's, and some others abridged it.Tirmidhi said, "This is a gharib hadith, and I do not see its chain as connected." I say, its chain is daif, for Abu Hatim said of Saeed bin Abdullah Juhani, "He is unknown." As for Ibn Hibban, he mentioned him in Thiqat, following his usual practice of authenticating unknown narrators.Likewise, what is narrated from Ayesha, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Be selective regarding your offspring, and marry those who are suitable matches, and give your daughters in marriage to them," is not sound. It was narrated by Ibn Majah (1968) from Abdullah bin Saeed, who said, Harith bin Imran Jufari told us, from Hisham bin Urwa, from his father, from Ayesha, and he related it.In this chain is Harith bin Imran Jufari Madani, who is daif according to the majority of scholars. Ibn Hibban even said, "He used to fabricate hadiths and attribute them to reliable narrators." Hakim (2/163) also narrated it through this route, saying that Ikrima bin Ibrahim corroborated him from Hisham bin Urwa, and he said, "This is a hadith with a sahih chain." Dhahabi criticized this, saying, "Harith is suspected of fabrication, and Ikrima was declared daif by scholars."Ibn Abu Hatim mentioned it in Ilal (1/403–404) and asked his father about the hadith of Harith bin Imran Jufari, and he said, "It has no basis, and Mindal also narrated it." He also said, "Harith is daif in hadith, and this is a munkar hadith." Abdul-Rahman then said to him, Abu Umaya bin Yaala also narrated it, from Hisham bin Urwa, from his father, from Ayesha, from the Prophet ﷺ, and he related the hadith. He said, "This is a false hadith, Hisham bin Urwa cannot be the source of this." He said, I said, "Then who is responsible for it?" He said, "Its narrator." I said, "What is the status of Abu Umaya bin Yaala?" He said, "He is daif in hadith." End of quote.I say, there are other chains from Hisham bin Urwa, and all of them are subject to criticism. Among them is what is narrated from him as mursal, and the statement of Abu Hatim suggests that all its routes are daif.
