حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي الْفُرَاتِ
أَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ، وَقَدْ وَقَعَ بِهَا مَرَضٌ فَهُمْ يَمُوتُونَ مَوْتًا ذَرِيعًا، فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَمَرَّتْ بِهِ جِنَازَةٌ، فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا خَيْرٌ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَجَبَتْ، ثُمَّ مُرَّ بِأُخْرَى، فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا خَيْرٌ فَقَالَ: وَجَبَتْ، ثُمَّ مُرَّ بِالثَّالِثِ، فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا شَرٌّ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَجَبَتْ، فَقُلْتُ: وَمَا وَجَبَتْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَيُّمَا مُسْلِمٍ شَهِدَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةٌ بِخَيْرٍ أَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ، قَالَ: قُلْنَا: أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٌ ؟ قَالَ: أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٌ، فَقُلْنَا: أَوِ اثْنَانِ ؟ قَالَ: أَوِ اثْنَانِ ثُمَّ لَمْ نَسْأَلْهُ عَنِ الْوَاحِدِ.

- ʿAbdullāh b. Yazīd
- Dāwud / Ibn Abū al-Furāt
✧ I came to Madinah while a disease had struck it, and they were dying swiftly. I sat with Umar b. al-Khattab, and a funeral passed by him, and its occupant was praised with good. Umar said, 'It has become due.' Then another passed, and its occupant was praised with good, so he said, 'It has become due.' Then a third passed, and its occupant was disparaged with evil, so Umar said, 'It has become due.' I said, 'What has become due, O Commander of the Believers?' He said, 'I said as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Any Muslim for whom four people testify to good, Allah will admit him to Paradise."' He said, 'We said, "Or three?"' He said, 'Or three.' We said, 'Or two?' He said, 'Or two.' Then we did not ask him about one.

رواه عبد الله بن بريدة واختلف عنه فرواه داود بن أبي الفرات وهو ثقة عن ابن بريدة واختلف عن داود فقال يعقوب الحضرمي عنه عن ابن بريدة عن يحيى بن يعمر عن أبي الأسود ووهم في ذكر يحيى بن يعمر في إسناده لكثرة من خالفه من الثقات الحفاظ عن داود منهم عفان بن مسلم وعبد الصمد بن عبد الوارث وزيد بن الحباب ويونس بن محمد المؤدب وأبو عبد الرحمن المقري وأبو الوليد الطيالسي وشيبان بن فروخ وغيرهم فإنهم رووه عن داود عن ابن بريدة عن أبي الأسود لم يذكروا بينهما أحدا وكذلك رواه سعيد بن رزين عن عبد الله بن بريدة عن أبي الأسود كرواية الجماعة عن داود ورواه عمر بن الوليد الشني عن عبد الله بن بريدة مرسلا عن عمر لم يذكر بينهما أحدا والمحفوظ من ذلك ما رواه عفان ومن تابعه عن داود بن أبي الفرات
machine translationʿAbdullāh b. Buraydah narrated it, and there is disagreement about him. Dāwūd b. Abī al-Furāt, who is trustworthy (thiqah), narrated it from Ibn Buraydah, and there is disagreement about Dāwūd as well. Yaʿqūb al-Ḥaḍramī said, from him, from Ibn Buraydah, from Yaḥyā b. Yaʿmar, from Abū al-Aswad. He erred in mentioning Yaḥyā b. Yaʿmar in its chain, because of the many trustworthy memorizers (ḥuffāẓ) who contradicted him from Dāwūd, among them ʿAffān b. Muslim, ʿAbd al-Ṣamad b. ʿAbd al-Wārith, Zayd b. al-Ḥubāb, Yūnus b. Muḥammad al-Muʾaddib, Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Muqriʾ, Abū al-Walīd al-Ṭayālisī, Shaybān b. Farrūkh and others. They narrated it from Dāwūd, from Ibn Buraydah, from Abū al-Aswad, without mentioning anyone between the two. Likewise Saʿīd b. Razīn narrated it from ʿAbdullāh b. Buraydah, from Abū al-Aswad, like the narration of the group from Dāwūd. ʿUmar b. al-Walīd al-Shannī narrated it from ʿAbdullāh b. Buraydah as a mursal report from ʿUmar, without mentioning anyone between them. The preserved (maḥfūẓ) version of this is what ʿAffān and those who followed him narrated from Dāwūd b. Abī al-Furāt.
