Musnad Ahmad 20498

Translation

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ addressed us on the Day of Sacrifice and said, “What day is this?” Or he said, “Do you know what day this is?” He said: We said, “God and His Messenger know best.” He said: He fell silent until we thought he would call it by some other name. Then he said, “Is it not the Day of Sacrifice?” He said: We said, “Yes.” He said, “What month is this?” Or, “Do you know what month this is?” We said, “God and His Messenger know best.” He said: He fell silent until we thought he would call it by some other name. He said, “Is it not Dhū al-Ḥijjah?” We said, “Yes.” He said, “What land is this?” We said, “God and His Messenger know best.” He said: He fell silent until we thought he would call it by some other name. He said, “Is it not the Sacred City?” We said, “Yes.” He said, “Your blood and your wealth are inviolable to you like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this land of yours, until the day you meet your Lord [Blessed and Exalted]. Have I conveyed the message?” They said, “Yes.” He said, “O God, bear witness. Let the one present convey to the one absent, for perhaps one who is informed will retain it better than one who hears. Beware! Do not return after me to disbelief, striking one another’s necks.”

  يرويه يزيد بن إبراهيم التستري عن محمد بن سيرين عن أبي هريرة وقال ذلك عبد الوهاب الثقفي عن يزيد ولا يصح عن أبي هريرة وإنما رواه محمد بن سيرين عن عبد الرحمن بن أبي بكرة عن أبيه قال ذلك عبد الوهاب الثقفي ومعتمر عن أيوب وغيرهما يرويه عن ابن سيرين عن أبي بكرة وحديث أبي بكرة هو المحفوظ

  machine translationYazīd b. Ibrāhīm al-Tustarī narrates it from Muḥammad b. Sīrīn from Abū Hurayrah, and ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Thaqafī said the same from Yazīd. But it is not authentic (ṣaḥīḥ) from Abū Hurayrah. Rather, Muḥammad b. Sīrīn narrated it from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Bakrah from his father. ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Thaqafī said this, as did Muʿtamir from Ayyūb and others, narrating it from Ibn Sīrīn from Abū Bakrah. The ḥadīth of Abū Bakrah is the preserved one (maḥfūẓ). Report a problem
