Musnad Ahmad 18446

Translation

✧ A woman came to him and said: "My husband had sexual relations with my slave woman." He said: "Indeed, I have a decisive report about that, which I learned from the Messenger of God ﷺ. If you had permitted him, I will flog him a hundred lashes; but if you had not permitted him, I will stone him." The people turned to her and said: "Your husband will be stoned; say that you had permitted him." So she said: "I had permitted him." He brought him forward and flogged him a hundred lashes.

• Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī

  قلت لأبي هما صحيحين قال نعم قلت حبيب عن النعمان متصل قال نعم قلت الحسن عن سلمة متصل قالا لا حدثنا القاسم بن سلام عن أبيه عن الحسن قال حدثني قبيصة بن حريث عن سلمة بن محبق عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فأدخلا بينهما قبيصة بن حريث فاتصل الإسناد قلت الحسن سمع من سلمة وروى محمد بن مسلم الطائفي عن عمرو بن دينار عن الحسن سمعت سلمة بن المحبق قال هذا عندي غلط غير محفوظ قلت فإن قتادة يختلف عليه في هذا يروي أبان عن قتادة قال حدثنا خالد بن عرفطة عن حبيب بن سالم عن النعمان بن بشير وروى همام عن قتادة عن حبيب بن يساف عن حبيب بن سالم عن النعمان فأي هذا أشبه قال حديث همام أشبه وحبيب بن يساف مجهول لا أعلم أحدا روى عنه غير قتادة هذا الحديث الواحد وكذلك خالد بن عرفطة مجهول لا نعرف أحدا يقال له خالد بن عرفطة إلا واحد الذي له صحبة

  machine translationI said to my father: "Are the two of them sound (ṣaḥīḥ)?" He said: "Yes." I said: "Is Ḥabīb's narration from al-Nuʿmān connected?" He said: "Yes." I said: "Is al-Ḥasan's narration from Salamah connected?" They both said: "No. Al-Qāsim b. Sallām narrated to us from his father, from al-Ḥasan, who said: Qabīṣah b. Ḥurayth narrated to me, from Salamah b. al-Muḥabbiq, from the Prophet ﷺ." So they put Qabīṣah b. Ḥurayth between them, and the chain became connected. I said: "Al-Ḥasan heard from Salamah, and Muḥammad b. Muslim al-Ṭāʾifī narrated from ʿAmr b. Dīnār, from al-Ḥasan: I heard Salamah b. al-Muḥabbiq." He said: "This, in my view, is a mistake and is not preserved (ghayr maḥfūẓ)." I said: "Qatādah is subject to disagreement in this. Abān narrates from Qatādah, who said: Khālid b. ʿUrfuṭah narrated to us, from Ḥabīb b. Sālim, from al-Nuʿmān b. Bashīr. And Hammām narrated from Qatādah, from Ḥabīb b. Yasāf, from Ḥabīb b. Sālim, from al-Nuʿmān. Which of these is more likely?" He said: "The ḥadīth of Hammām is more likely. Ḥabīb b. Yasāf is unknown (majhūl); I do not know anyone who narrated from him other than Qatādah, this one ḥadīth. Likewise Khālid b. ʿUrfuṭah is unknown (majhūl); we do not know anyone called Khālid b. ʿUrfuṭah except the one who was a Companion." Report a problem
