Musnad Ahmad 17231

Translation

✧ I said, 'O Messenger of God, a man I pass by does not offer me hospitality or entertain me; then he passes by me, should I repay him in kind?' He said, 'No, rather entertain him.' He said: Then he saw me in shabby clothes and said, 'Do you have any wealth?' I said, 'God, Mighty and Majestic, has given me of all kinds of wealth, from camels and sheep.' He said, 'Then let the trace of God's blessing be seen on you.'

  machine translationIt is narrated by al-Shaʿbī, Abū al-Zaʿrāʾ ʿAmr b. ʿAmr b. the brother of Abū al-Aḥwaṣ, ʿAbd al-Malik b. ʿUmayr and Salamah b. Kuhayl, from Abū al-Aḥwaṣ, from his father. There is disagreement about Abū Isḥāq: al-Thawrī, Yūnus b. Abī Isḥāq, Yūsuf b. Isḥāq b. Abī Isḥāq, al-Masʿūdī, Maʿmar, Sharīk, Abū Bakr b. ʿAyyāsh, ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd b. al-Ḥasan and Muḥammad b. Jābir narrated it from Abū Isḥāq, from Abū al-Aḥwaṣ, from his father. Ismāʿīl b. Abī Khālid also narrated it, and there is disagreement about him: Muḥammad b. Yazīd al-Wāsiṭī gave it a connected chain (musnad) from Ismāʿīl, from Abū Isḥāq, from Abū al-Aḥwaṣ, from his father, while Yaʿlā b. ʿUbayd narrated it as a mursal report from Ismāʿīl, from Abū Isḥāq, from Abū al-Aḥwaṣ, who said: My father came to the Messenger of God ﷺ. Likewise Abū al-Aḥwaṣ said, from Abū Isḥāq. Ibn ʿAwn also narrated this hadith from a man of the people of Kufa whom he did not name, from al-Aḥwaṣ or Abū al-Aḥwaṣ, and he accomplished nothing. The correct statement is the statement of al-Thawrī and those who followed him. Report a problem
