Azami 6846

Ahmad (20136) narrated it from Hushaym, who said, "Humayd narrated to us, from Hasan," and he mentioned it. This contains evidence for those who say that Hasan heard from Samura more than just the hadith of aqiqah, because the underlying reason is that he had a book which he had heard from Samura, and he would narrate from it at different times.This hadith has been narrated in various forms. Among them is what Abu Dawud (2667) narrated from Muhammad bin Muthanna, who said, "Muaz bin Hisham narrated to us, my father narrated to me, from Qatada, from Hasan, from Hayyaj bin Imran bin Fadl Basri, that a slave of Imran's had run away from him, and Imran vowed to Allah that if he ever caught him he would cut off his hand. So he sent me to ask about this on his behalf. I went to Samura bin Jundab and asked him, and he said, 'The Prophet of Allah used to urge us to give charity and forbid us from mutilation.' Then I went to Imran bin Husayn and asked him, and he said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to urge us to give charity and forbid us from mutilation.'"This is a hasan chain, for Hayyaj bin Imran bin Fadl was deemed reliable by Ibn Saad, Ibn Hibban, and Ajli, and he is "truthful" (saduq). It also contains an explicit statement by Hasan that he heard this hadith from Samura bin Jundab and Imran bin Husayn. Imam Ahmad (19844) narrated it through the route of Qatada with similar wording.On this subject there is also what was narrated from Abdullah bin Masud, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The most restrained of people in killing are the people of faith." This was narrated by Abu Dawud (2666), Ibn Majah (2682/2681), Ahmad (3728), Ibn Hibban (5994), Ibn Jarud in Muntaqa (840), Ibn Abu Shayba (9/420), and Ibn Abu Asim in Diyat (229), all through the route of Mughira bin Miqsam Dabbi, from Ibrahim Nakhai, from Hunay bin Nuwayra, from Alqama, from Abdullah bin Masud, and he mentioned it.Its chain has been subject to considerable confusion. Some inserted "Shibak Dabbi" between Mughira Dabbi and Ibrahim Nakhai, but the correct version is what Shuba narrated from Ibn Miqsam Dabbi without mentioning Shibak Dabbi, though there was also disagreement regarding Shuba, as Daraqutni stated in Ilal (142/5).It was also narrated as a stopped report attributed to Ibn Masud. Ibn Abu Shayba (9/420) narrated from Hafs, from Amash, from Ibrahim, that he passed by Ibn Mikabir, whose hands and feet Ziyad had cut off, and he said, "I heard Abdullah say, 'The most restrained of people in killing are the people of faith.'"Abdul-Razzaq (10/22) narrated it from Thawri, from Amash, from Ibrahim, from Alqama, who said, Ibn Masud said, "The most restrained of people in killing are the people of faith."The stopped version is closer to being correct, given the reliability of its narrators, while the raised version revolves around Hunay bin Nuwayra, who is unknown, no one having deemed him reliable except Ibn Hibban. Abu Dawud said he "was one of the devout worshippers," which is evidence that he was not attentive to preserving hadith carefully. However, some narrated it while omitting "Hunay bin Nuwayra," and all this renders the raised version mudtarib (confused). And Allah, the Most High, knows best.
