Research into the wording of the hadith: (Seven whom Allah will shade in His shade)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right; another question, O Shaykh. In the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
There are seven whom Allah will shade in His shade سبعة يظلُّهم الله في ظلِّه
Muwatta Malik 51:14
, when al-Hafiz explained this hadith, he mentioned a narration and attributed it to "Sunan of Sa'id ibn Mansur." In my research, I did not come across it in the printed part of it, but in reviewing some of the books that... regarding the narrations collected under the shade of the Throne, such as "Tamhid al-Farash," there are narrations, but they...

The Shaykh : ... ؟

The questioner : al-Farash, such as "Tamhid al-Farash."

The Shaykh : Is it by Ibn Abi Shaybah?

The questioner : No, here there is a book by al-Suyuti, a book by al-Hafiz ibn Hajar, and a book by al-Sakhawi; three books were printed in one book.

The Shaykh : ... .

The questioner : Yes, so the narrations were collected. The point is, upon reviewing the narrations, I found in some of the narrations:
in the shade of My Throne في ظلِّ عرشي
, as al-Hafiz said, but they are not among these seven, so the wording differs. Some narrations say:
Three whom Allah will shade in My shade ثلاثة يظلُّهم الله في ظلِّي
, and some mention the seven, but they are not these people. The narrations differ regarding who are the ones whom Allah will shade in His shade. As for these, the narration that was reported does not include these seven, but there is a difference.

The Shaykh : All right; my belief is that this narration is authentic.

The questioner : Sa'id ibn Mansur?

The Shaykh : No, not specifically regarding the attribution to Sa'id, but... regarding the Throne in the old studies of this hadith and its routes, that the addition of the Throne is authentic in the hadith of the seven mentioned in "Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim." But I do not remember now who reported this addition. Perhaps I will ask and clarify, and you are recently familiar with reviewing these sources I mentioned earlier. I said that this addition came in another hadith, not the hadith of "the two Sahihs"; did I say that?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : All right; is it from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah as it is in "the two Sahihs," or from the hadith of another Companion?

The questioner : I think it is from the hadith of another Companion.

The Shaykh: All right.

The questioner : Among one of the brothers...

The Shaykh : No, I don't think so. Yes?

The questioner : Abu Hurayrah? I think it is Abu Hurayrah.

The Shaykh : Also.

The questioner : ... this narration, meaning
in the shade of My Throne في ظلِّ عرشي
, which... al-Hafiz... occurred in some of the narrations... I found that they mentioned
in the shade of My Throne في ظلِّ عرشي
.

The Shaykh : In the hadith of Abu Hurayrah?

The questioner : In the hadith of Abu Hurayrah.

The Shaykh : This is what I am asking about.

The questioner: Yes ... .

The Shaykh : The second question, perhaps the last: If, as the brother mentioned here, that... also... that hadith which was in your speech is a hadith other than the hadith of Abu Hurayrah in "the two Sahihs"; now we have found that the hadith is from Abu Hurayrah... also. Is there a meeting in some of the people between the hadith of "the two Sahihs" and the hadith which has the addition: in my Throne,
in the shade of My Throne في ظلِّ عرشي
?

The questioner : ... there are among the trustworthy ones.

The Shaykh : Among the trustworthy ones.

The questioner : Among the trustworthy ones, the addition only:
in the shade of My Throne في ظلِّ عرشي
.

The Shaykh : ... in the seven causes.

The questioner : In the seven causes.

The Shaykh : Meaning, is there no one mentioned of the seven in "the two Sahihs" in that route which has the addition...?

The questioner : ... O Shaykh, is there a difference in it?

The Shaykh : ... .

The questioner : It is established in some of the narrations: ... a just imam or a just judge.

The Shaykh : All right; for this...

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : No problem; it is from the category of doubt from the narrator; it does not mean a second [narration], this is an easy matter. So this confirms that the hadith... and this is what I said, which is established in my mind that this addition is authentic.

The questioner : Is this attributed to this?

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner : Is... the Throne attributed... it is said: ... the shade of the Throne... (Mighty and Majestic)?

The Shaykh : And it is so.

The questioner : Like that.
