Musnad Ahmad 19876

Translation

✧ "Accept the good news, O Banu Tamim." He said: They said: "You have given us good news, so give us [something]." He said: "Accept the good news, O people of Yemen." He said: We said: "We have accepted, so tell us about the beginning of this matter, how was it?" He said: "Allah, blessed and exalted be He, was before everything, and His Throne was upon the water, and He wrote in the Tablet the remembrance of everything." He said: "And a comer came to me and said: 'O 'Imran, your she-camel has broken loose from her tether.'" He said: "So I went out, and behold, the mirage was cutting off between me and her." He said: "So I went out in her tracks, and I do not know what happened after me."

• Taḥāwī

  فاختلف الأعمش في الذي رجع إليه هذا الحديث من أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكر الأعمش أنه عمران بن الحصين وذكر المسعودي أنه بريدة بن الحصيب وكان الصحيح عندنا ما قاله الأعمش فيه ودل على ذلك أن الثوري قد رواه عن جامع بن شداد فوافق الأعمش فيه وخالف المسعودي وإن كان قد قصر عن بعض متنه مما في روايتهما

  machine translationAl-Aʿmash differed regarding which of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ this hadith goes back to. Al-Aʿmash mentioned that it was ʿImrān b. al-Ḥuṣayn, while al-Masʿūdī mentioned that it was Buraydah b. al-Ḥuṣayb. The correct view in our opinion is what al-Aʿmash said about it. What indicates this is that al-Thawrī narrated it from Jāmiʿ b. Shaddād, agreeing with al-Aʿmash and opposing al-Masʿūdī, even though he fell short of some of its text that is in their two narrations. Report a problem
