Mentioning the defects of the hadith of Anas (My life is better for you).
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : You say, "My teacher, in *Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Da'ifah*, Part Two, number 975, and I have come across it from the hadith of Anas, and there are two routes from him. The first is from Abu Sa'id al-Hasan ibn 'Ali ibn al-Burhayah ibn Salih al-'Adawi al-Misri, who narrated from Farash.
The Shaykh : Farash.
The questioner : From Anas, it is disconnected and abbreviated, similar to it, in which is It was narrated by Ibn 'Ali and Abu Mansur ... and 'Abd al-Qadir ibn Muhammad al-Qurashi al-Hanafi in a treatise of his, and al-Hafiz al-'Iraqi attributed it to al-Harith in his Musnad with a weak chain of narration with this chain, as al-Munawi explained in *Fath al-Qadir* after quoting his weakening of it, saying, "And that is because Farash ibn 'Abd Allah is a drop in the chain, and what he brought is not from Abu Sa'id al-'Adawi the liar, and Ibn Hibban said, 'It is not permissible to write his hadith except for consideration,' then he listed his reports, this is one of them." I say: The chain is fabricated and is not suitable for it. The second is from Yahya ibn Khudam, Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Malik ibn Ziyad, Abu Salama al-Ansari, who narrated from Malik ibn Dinar from Anas with it, similar to it, and in it is It was narrated by Abu Tahir al-Mukhlas in "The Second of the Tenth of his Hadith": Yahya, meaning ibn Muhammad ibn Sa'id, narrated to us: Yahya ibn Khudam narrated to us with it. I say: This is also fabricated, its defect is al-Ansari. Al-'Uqayli said: "His hadith is denounced." And Ibn Hibban said: "His hadith is very denounced, he narrates from the trustworthy ones what is not from their hadith, it is not permissible to cite him as evidence." And Ibn Tahir said: "He is a liar and has great errors." And al-Hakim Abu 'Abd Allah said: "He narrates fabricated hadiths."
And the narrator from him, Yahya ibn Khudam, was narrated from by a group of trustworthy ones, and Ibn Hibban mentioned him in *al-Thiqat*. And al-Hakim Abu Ahmad said in the biography of the aforementioned al-Ansari: "He narrated from Yahya ibn Khudam from Malik ibn Dinar denounced hadiths, so Allah the Exalted knows best whether the burden is on Abu Salama or on Ibn Khudam." And in summary, the hadith is weak in all its routes, and the best of them is the hadith of Bakr ibn 'Abd Allah al-Muzani, which is mursal, and it is one of the categories of weak hadith among the hadith scholars. Then the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud, which is an error, and the worst of them is the hadith of Anas with its two routes.
The Shaykh : Yes, so all these facts, the man ... So the hadith of Anas makes it weak, and it is fabricated, and the hadith of Ibn Abi Rawad makes it a corroborating narration, and it is anomalous, and there remains only the hadith of Bakr ibn 'Abd Allah al-Muzani, which is weak in its chain. Then he makes this hadith a characteristic of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and builds upon it foundations and palaces, and says that the Muslims, pardon me, that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) benefits the Muslims in his grave, meaning that despite the hadith coming that he seeks forgiveness for the sinners among them, he enlarges the circle and magnifies it with some of the hadith, and says that the benefit of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to the Muslims after his death did not cease or is continuous, and we seek help from Allah. And he has other matters; in truth, it is good that some of our brother students devote themselves to them and track them down one after another and clarify to people his deception and his obfuscation and his misleading of those around him, and we seek help from Allah. And perhaps Abu Malik's thesis, if Allah wills, will be comprehensive in this regard.
The questioner : It is that when he was in Saudi Arabia, this thing did not appear.
The Shaykh : No, it was not!
The questioner : It was, meaning ...
The Shaykh : That is correct.
The questioner : Allah is the Greatest, until many of the students of knowledge were deceived by it!
The Shaykh : I personally used to listen to his tapes when he was in Abha.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : In truth, they are beneficial, they contain awareness and guidance and softening of hearts and so on, but I do not know what has befallen him!
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner : He mentions that he says the phrase "Imam Ahmad" ... .
The Shaykh : There are strange things ... Looking at the face of Imam Ahmad is equivalent to the worship of a year, some of our Salafi brothers objected to him, he sits and says what and what is in it, then from his cunning and lack of advice to the Ummah, he takes only from this athar the looking at the face of Imam Ahmad, and he places the rest as equivalent to the worship of a year. This, my brother, if it were a hadith narrated from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with this specification, no ... by the ruling, may Allah have mercy on you, so what about a man who said about Imam Ahmad out of his love for him that he looked at the face of Ahmad and it is equivalent to the worship of a year? I wonder why not two years? Why not a month? And so on. So this issue is completely ignored, and he tries to interpret it because the looking atThe Shaykh : He mentions by Allah, meaning to the face of the patch, just the looking, meaning, but the hadith, the athar.
The questioner : Just the looking.
The Shaykh : This is it, meaning, he is wicked, meaning, he is cunning!
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Things I have heard and noted, but unfortunately they go down the drain.
The questioner : Imam Ahmad, like Subhan Allah and Alhamdulillah.
The Shaykh : How, how.
The questioner : Mentioning Imam Ahmad is like our saying Subhan Allah and Alhamdulillah.
The Shaykh : Allah is the Greatest, I have not heard this.
The questioner : Likewise, if it were al-Hasan, we would wipe with our sandals.
The Shaykh : With our sandals, we would wipe ... with his sandal.
The questioner : Allah is the Greatest, may Allah guide him.
Another questioner : By Allah, O Shaykh, the One to whom there is no deity but Him, when we used to go to Saudi Arabia and buy tapes, I used to listen to tapes, but I did not feel comfortable with his tapes, even though in Saudi Arabia he has nothing, and I ask the brothers, they say his appearance is good, they praise him.
The Shaykh : Hehehe, yes.
The Shaykh : Farash.
The questioner : From Anas, it is disconnected and abbreviated, similar to it, in which is
