Sunan Abi Dawud 790

Translation

Mu’adh b. Jabal used to pray along with the Prophet ﷺ; then he returned and led us in prayer. Sometimes he (the narrator) said: then he returned and led his people in prayer. One night the Prophet ﷺ delayed the prayer. Sometimes he (the narrator) mentioned the word “the night prayer”. Then Mu’adh prayed along with the Prophet ﷺ, then returned to his people and led them in prayer, and recited Surat al-Baqarah. A man turned aside and prayed alone. The people said to him: Have you become a hypocrite, so and so? He replied: I did not become a hypocrite. He then came to the Prophet ﷺ and said (to him): Messenger of Allah, Mu’adh prays along with you and then returns and leads us in prayers. We look after camels used for watering and work for by day. He came to us leading us in prayer, and he recited Surah al-Baqarah (in prayer). He (the Prophet) said: Mu’adh, are you a trouble maker? Recite such and such ; recite such and such (surahs) The narrator Abu al-Zubair said (recite) “Glorify the name of the most high lord” (surah lxxxvii) and “By the night when it covers over” (surah xcii). We mentioned this to ‘Amr. He said I think he mentioned it (the names of some surahs).

  قد روى ابن عيينة عن عمرو حديث جابر هذا ولم يذكر هذه الزيادة قال ويجوز أن يكون ذلك من قول ابن جريج أو من قول عمرو أو من قول جابر بناء على الظن والاجتهاد لا بجزم

  machine translationIbn ʿUyaynah narrated this ḥadīth of Jābir from ʿAmr and did not mention this addition. He said: It is possible that this was from the words of Ibn Jurayj, or from the words of ʿAmr, or from the words of Jābir, based on conjecture and personal judgement, not on certainty.

  سئل عن حديث جابر بن عبد الله عن معاذ أنه كان يصلي مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ثم ينصرف فيصلي بقومه تلك الصلاة فقال يرويه عمرو بن دينار واختلف عنه فرواه الحسن بن أبي جعفر عن أيوب عن عمرو عن جابر عن معاذ وتابعه محمد بن يزيد الواسطي فرواه عن شعبة عن عمرو عن جابر عن معاذ وخالفهما أصحاب شعبة وصحاب أيوب فرووه عنهما عن عمرو عن جابر أن معاذا وكذلك رواه منصور بن زاذان وورقاء ومحمد بن مسلم وصحيحه أنه من مسند جابر

  machine translationHe was asked about the ḥadīth of Jābir b. ʿAbdullāh from Muʿādh, that he used to pray with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and then leave and lead his people in that same prayer. He said: ʿAmr b. Dīnār narrates it, and there is disagreement about it from him. Al-Ḥasan b. Abī Jaʿfar narrated it from Ayyūb from ʿAmr from Jābir from Muʿādh, and Muḥammad b. Yazīd al-Wāsiṭī followed him, narrating it from Shuʿbah from ʿAmr from Jābir from Muʿādh. But the students of Shuʿbah and the students of Ayyūb contradicted them both, narrating it from them from ʿAmr from Jābir that Muʿādh [did so]. Likewise Manṣūr b. Zādhān, Warqāʾ and Muḥammad b. Muslim narrated it. The sound (ṣaḥīḥ) version is that it belongs to the musnad of Jābir. Report a problem
