The questioner : On the hadith that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) allocated a portion of the salt of Ma'rib to one of the Companions.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : On the hadith, its chain includes Thabit ibn Sa'id ibn Hammal ibn Umayyah, ibn Umayyah... and another man, meaning I referred to him in Mizan al-I'tidal, and it appears he is not known.
The Shaykh : Unknown.
The questioner : In al-Tahdhib, meaning it cites the opinions of al-Muqaddisi, Ibn Hibban, and al-Nasa'i in the Sunan, and states that he read in the handwriting of al-Dhahabi that the man is not known.
The Shaykh : That he is what?
The questioner : That he is not known.
The Shaykh : Not known, yes.
The questioner : Regarding this hadith, is it authentic, or does it have other chains that strengthen it, or what?
The Shaykh : No, I do not recall the exact answer regarding this hadith right now, whether it is authentic or not? It is recorded for me, but I do not have it at hand, but we need to see what matters to you from the hadith; perhaps there is something that suffices for it, or are you just asking about this hadith without wanting anything behind it?
The questioner : No, no, it is the basis for it, the jurists have built many things upon it regarding ownership.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, that is right, meaning, for example, the allocation of land.
The questioner : Yes, because he allocated this...
The Shaykh : Yes, meaning, do you want from your question about the hadith, whether it is authentic or not? In the sense that if it is authentic, it indicates the permissibility of allocation, and if it is not authentic; is there anything that contradicts allocation? Do you want this, or what do you want?
The questioner : No, no, I just want the chain, meaning.
The Shaykh : Yes, I do not have it at hand, I told you about this.
Please proceed.
